Theros Protection Cards

New • 04 Nov 2013 • Asked by wiltekirra • 2 Comments

In your article today you said the protection cards weren't meant as a cycle, but I thought I saw someone from development mention that the cycle was broken because two of the cards didn't work, and that Agent of the Fates was originally part of it?

It is possible that development at one point turned it into a cycle, but it wasn’t something the Theros design team had any hand in.

Theros Protection Cycle

You keep saying that the "Broken Protection From Color Cycle" in Theros was not intended to be a cycle, like how players often see cycles that weren't intended to be such, but Sam specifically mentioned in his development column that Fabled Hero and Agent of the Fates originally had the protection from black and protection from green, but were changed because small creatures with protection were oppressive while big creatures with protection were awesome.

Design didn’t make a cycle. Perhaps development did.

This might be a question for Tabak but I figure I would ask you since you helped create Heroic. It appears by the way Heroic is worded that it functions from the graveyard. I.E. I target my Akroan Crusader and Agent of the Fates that are in the graveyard with my March of the Returned. If I'm correct; I get a / token and force a sac, then get my guys back to my hand. Is this right?

I am not the rules guy but I do know that it doesn’t work from the graveyard. If it did, it would have to specifically tell you that it does. Tabak can give you the nitty gritty of the rules.
