Diplomatic Immunityprotection$1.50A very close protection Aura that gives the enchanted permanent shroud and also protects itself from most interaction. It serves the same role of shielding a key permanent, though without the card-draw upside.Indestructibilityprotection$1.70Protects a key permanent from destruction like Curator's Ward protects it from removal, making it a strong resilience Aura. It is broader against destroy effects but lacks hexproof and card draw.Shielding PlaxprotectionBudget$0.15Grants hexproof-style protection to keep an important creature safe, with a small cantrip upside. It is a lower-cost protective Aura, though it is creature-only and much narrower.Alexi's Cloakprotection$0.46A blue Aura that grants shroud and helps protect a creature from targeted removal, filling a similar defensive role. It is cheaper, but only works on creatures and does not replace itself with cards.Octopus Umbraprotection$2.16This Aura can make a creature much harder to interact with by providing a strong defensive package and resilience through totem armor. It plays a similar protective role, though it is more creature-combat focused.Diplomatic Escortprotection$0.22Not an Aura, but it serves the same general purpose of protecting a key permanent or creature from removal by granting shroud. It is a useful functional alternative in blue shells that want protection over value.Vanishingprotection$0.57A blue protective Aura that can repeatedly phase out the enchanted creature to dodge removal and combat. It fills a similar role of keeping a permanent alive, though it is narrower and more tempo-oriented.Steel of the Godheadutility$2.45While primarily an offensive Aura, it also makes the enchanted creature much harder to interact with in its colors, offering a protection-like role. It is a bit more aggressive and only works on multicolored creatures.
