ART: Art from Elements the Game IDEA: Xenocidius NOTES: Similar to Enchant Artifact, this can protect one of your permanents. The difference is that your opponent can still destroy it, but must pay the price. This puts a icon on the permanent, similar to how PA puts a icon. It only has one use; if the permanent remains after being targeted the icon will disappear. Damage is reflected by reflective shields.

Note that this requires a permanent to actually be destroyed via the destroy effect - things like Sundial or Unstable Gas won't work with it. SERIES:

Seems like it might go good with fire-PC or Pulvy... I'd hate to see a deck with 6 of those + PA'd Pulvy :3

Does steal count as a destroy effect?

[Xenocidius]

Yep, Steal counts as a destroy effect. So does Nymph's Tears. Earthquake only triggers it once.

EDIT: Okay, I changed it. Now it triggers when targeted, and only once.

What about PA?

[Xenocidius]

Yes, PA will cause the booby trap to explode.

Hmm. It seems it should really deal damage to the targeter. I think I'll change it to do that.

EDIT: Changed. Now deals damage to targeter.

Very great idea! Although perhaps 20hp is too much? Maybe 15 or so. Sounds a bit more reasonable. I'd hate to see mono fire decks with booby trapped shields and fahrenheits though.

It would be annoying, but it would place emphasis on using alternate means of permanent control. Like  freezing the weapon, or  momentum past the shield.
Or, you could pack the PC and take it, but migitate the damage.

I see new kinds of permanent protection other than Protect artifact are making the rounds.

I smiled reading your post cause I was thinking the same thing. PA being one of the oldest cards in the game and there NEVER has been an addition it anti-PC since.

Booby Trap. Sounds funny. TNT or Napalm sounds better IMO.

Booby traps are traps noone expects
So maybe this card may not be shown to the opponent
