How do you remove a creature with protection from everything?
To remove a creature with protection from everything, you can utilize effects that don’t target, damage, enchant, or block the creature, such as board wipes like Wrath of God or Day of Judgement, which can exile or destroy the creature without directly targeting it. Additionally, cards like All Is Dust can also remove creatures with protection from everything by sacrificing them, as this effect doesn’t rely on targeting or dealing damage to the creature.
Understanding Protection and Its Limitations
Protection from everything is a powerful ability that prevents a creature from being targeted, dealt damage, enchanted, or blocked by any source. However, it doesn’t make the creature invincible, as there are several ways to remove or neutralize it.
