Hexproof

A keyword ability that precludes a permanent or player from being targeted by an opponent. See rule 702.11, “Hexproof.”

Comprehensive Rules (August 7, 2020)

• 702.11. Hexproof
  • 702.11a Hexproof is a static ability.
  • 702.11b “Hexproof” on a permanent means “This permanent can’t be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control.”
  • 702.11c “Hexproof” on a player means “You can’t be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control.”
  • 702.11d “Hexproof from [quality]” is a variant of the hexproof ability. “Hexproof from [quality]” on a permanent means “This permanent can’t be the target of [quality] spells your opponents control or abilities your opponents control from [quality] sources.” A “hexproof from [quality]” ability is a hexproof ability.
  • 702.11e Any effect that causes an object to lose hexproof will cause an object to lose all “hexproof from [quality]” abilities. Any effect that allows a player to choose a creature with hexproof as a target as though it didn’t have hexproof will allow a player to choose a creature with a “hexproof from [quality]” ability. Any effect that looks for a card with hexproof will find a card with a “hexproof from [quality]” ability.
  • 702.11f “Hexproof from [quality A] and from [quality B]” is shorthand for “hexproof from [quality A]” and “hexproof from [quality B]”; it behaves as two separate hexproof abilities. If an effect causes an object with such an ability to lose hexproof from [quality A], for example, that object would still have hexproof from [quality B].
  • 702.11g Multiple instances of the same hexproof ability on the same permanent or player are redundant.
