About Protective Response
Protective Response, Instant, designed by Gustavo Pelissari first released in January 2026 in the set Lorwyn Eclipsed. It see play in 1 format: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of ₱ 0.61.
**Protective Response** (2W, Instant, Convoke, destroy target attacking or blocking creature) fits best in creature-heavy white decks that consistently flood the board—such as token, Selesnya (GW) go-wide, or aggressive white weenie strategies—because Convoke lets you cast it cheaply or even for “free” while keeping mana open for development. It plays particularly well in decks that attack in numbers but still want interaction without slowing down their curve. However, whether it should see play depends heavily on the format: compared to options like **Swords to Plowshares** (far more efficient), **Path to Exile**, **Get Lost**, or even **Fateful Absence**, this card is more restrictive since it only hits attacking or blocking creatures. That said, in formats where Convoke synergy matters (such as token-heavy Standard environments or limited), it can outperform more flexible removal by being essentially zero-mana. Overall, it’s playable in go-wide creature decks that can exploit Convok
Rules
11/17/2025
If a creature you control has a mana ability with {T} in the cost, activating that ability while casting a spell with convoke will result in the creature being tapped before you pay the spell's costs. You won't be able to tap it again for convoke. Similarly, if you sacrifice a creature to activate a mana ability while casting a spell with convoke, that creature won't be on the battlefield when you pay the spell's costs, so you won't be able to tap it for convoke.
11/17/2025
Tapping an untapped creature that's attacking or blocking to convoke a spell won't cause that creature to stop attacking or blocking.
11/17/2025
When calculating a spell's total cost, include any alternative costs, additional costs, or anything else that increases or reduces the cost to cast the spell. Convoke applies after the total cost is calculated. Convoke doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value.
11/17/2025
You can tap any untapped creature you control to convoke a spell, even one you haven't controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn.
