Killing Wave + Rune of Protection Black (might be the wrong location)
Asked by GMead88 9 months ago
Orshov deck: If I tap 1W for 'Rune of Protection: Black' and then cast 'killing wave'. Could I choose to not sacrifice any of my creatures and take no damage form Killing wave?
But using a card that grants the players shroud or has the language "you can't be the target of spells or abilities", like True Believer or Solitary Confinement, that would remove me as the player as a target from killing wave, yeah?

First, TappedOut has a Rules Q&A section for questions about cards, rules, of card interactions. It has some added functions, such as the ability to mark an answer when you no longer have questions. I have gone ahead and moved your thread.

For your follow-up question, Shroud will not prevent Killing Wave. Shroud only prevents things that target - and Killing Wave does not target. Spells which target will always use the word “target” in their rules text (with the exception of Auras and Mutate, where “target” shows up in the rules themselves). Because Killing Wave does not say “target” it cannot be stopped by Shroud.

No, because Killing Wave doesn't deal damage.
