Hexdrinker

Wizards of the Coast 14 Jun 2019

Protection from everything means that Hexdrinker can’t be the target of any spells or abilities, it can’t be blocked, nothing can be attached to it, and all damage that would be dealt to it is prevented. It can still be affected in other ways (such as by Winds of Abandon cast for its overload cost, for example).

Wizards of the Coast 14 Jun 2019

If an effect has set Hexdrinker’s power and/or toughness to a specific value after it entered the battlefield, leveling up won’t change that characteristic.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Jun 2019

Protection from instants means that Hexdrinker can’t be the target of instant spells or abilities from instant cards (such as an ability of an instant card that triggers when that card is cycled), and all damage that an instant spell or instant card would deal to it is prevented. Nothing other than these events is prevented or illegal.

Wizards of the Coast 14 Jun 2019

Level abilities count the number of level counters on the creature. Hexdrinker starts with zero level counters. Once it has at least three but no more than seven level counters, it’s 4/4 and has protection from instants. Once it has eight or more level counters, it’s 6/6 and has protection from everything. It always has level up {1}.

Lotus Cobra

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2024

A landfall ability triggers whenever a land you control enters for any reason. It triggers whenever you play a land, as well as whenever a spell or ability puts a land onto the battlefield under your control.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2024

Whenever a land you control enters, each landfall ability of the permanents you control will trigger. You can put them   on the stack in any order. The last ability you put on the stack will be the first one to resolve (As a result, you can have those abilities resolve in the order of your choosing.).

Wizards of the Coast 8 Nov 2024

A landfall ability doesn't trigger if a permanent already on the battlefield becomes a land.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Sep 2020

Lotus Cobra's ability uses the stack and players may respond to it. It isn't a mana ability because the event that causes it to trigger isn't a mana ability.

Wizards of the Coast 17 Nov 2017

Lotus Cobra's ability isn't a mana ability. Opponents may respond to it before you have that mana.
