Can response protection from instant speed Sejiri Steppe protect a permanent?

Asked by nickiru 9 years ago

So here is the scenario:

I got Knight of the Reliquary down and some other critter that I want to protect. My opponant uses Path to Exile and targets my nice critter. In response I have reliquary tap, sac a forest, I search for Sejiri Steppe and whip it out. I choose my critter that's being pathed and I choose protection from white. Should the protection make the target illegal? or is it too late?

That would work. It is a more roundabout method than simply casting Brave the Elements or one many other similar instant speed protection-for-one-turn effects, but you work with the tools you have, sometimes. Path to Exile would fail because the target is now illegal.

If I had a dollar for every word I skip when I post answers, it'd be like a free lunch every day.

Hahaha, no no you did nothing wrong.

I said, "[...] simply casting Brave the Elements or one many other similar [...]" but I meant to say "one of many other". I got frustrated because I keep doing that (in other posts) and randomly mentioned it in this one :P

this is funny.

it was the 'If I had a dollar for every word I skip when I post answers, it'd be like a free lunch every day.' Wasn't sure if you were sick of answering tedious questions that people could probably get themselves. Which honestly I was really sure I was right, it made sense and followed the rules, I just wanted verification cause I'm banking a deck on it and it's a really good idea.

Sorry for the confusion. I'm not used to internet and talking to people. HAH, funny. Glad there wasn't an issue eh? Good day, actually night for me. :D
