Sungold Sentinel

Sungold Sentinel Protection Query

Hey Mark, I can't help but notice Sungold Sentinel kinda wanted to have "Coven - 1W: Sungold Sentinel gains protection from a color of your choice" but the design team opted for something slightly less powerful. Is Magic moving away from Protection again or this was some kind of test/balancing issue?

We didn’t want the card to have protection.

Sungold Sentinel's Protection Feature

Sungold Sentinel is *very* close to protection, why not just make it protection? Too much downside for the person playing it?

It does one and a half of the four things protection does. I say a half for targeting as you can still target it.
