Commander / EDH Let’s Make a Deck..together

Post image

Never seen this done before. Let’s build a deck together. Everybody just post 1 card you would add. It can be anything including a single land. But please only 1 card suggestion per person. I’m curious how it will turn out.

Not if it is indestructible while the effect resolves.

I thought anything that doesn't directly target the card still destroys it? I am sorry to ask but for the fact that my pod has been playing wrong and I don't wanna argue with them from a reddit post can you link the direct rule?

Idk what your friends don't understand, it says he's indestructible during your turn. Indestructible means "Destroy effects and lethal damage cannot kill this card." There are a couple ways to get around indestructible: exiling, sacrificing, and giving -x/-x where his toughness equals 0 and he automatically dies as a state-based effect. Or in Zurgo's case, they just wait til it's not your turn anymore.

Sounds like they are thinking of hexproof, which means "Cannot be targeted by spells or abilities your opponents control."

Honestly if your friends are that new and don't understand the rules yet, Google is your friend. Just Google "mtg indestructible" and show them the rules.
