Giant Growthprotection$0.19A classic one-mana green combat trick at the same speed, often used in the same role of saving a creature from damage-based removal or winning combat. It doesn't gain life or prevent damage directly, but fills a very similar low-cost defensive slot.Wrap in Vigorprotection$1.16This is a cheap green instant that protects your board by preventing damage to your creatures for the turn. It serves a very similar defensive function, especially against burn and combat damage.Blossoming Defenseprotection$0.46A one-mana green instant that protects a creature from removal while also offering a small stat boost. It is a stricter upgrade for protecting a key creature, though it only targets creatures you control.Tamiyo's Safekeepingprotection$2.85Another one-mana green protection spell that can save a permanent from damage or removal while providing a small life buffer. It is broadly stronger because it protects any permanent and gains life.Gaea's Giftprotection$2.00A flexible green combat trick that protects a creature from destruction and helps it survive combat. It overlaps well as a cheap reactive protection spell, though it is more focused on creature protection than life gain.Vines of Vastwoodprotection$0.71A premier one-mana green protection spell that can blank targeted removal and often functions as a combat trick. It is stronger than Healing Leaves when the goal is to protect a creature from targeted effects.Heroic Interventionprotection$17.15A broader and much stronger protection spell that prevents damage and gives your permanents hexproof for the turn. It costs more, but it is the premium version of a green defensive instant.Snakeskin VeilprotectionBudget$0.08A budget-friendly green protection instant that gives a creature a +1/+1 counter and hexproof. It plays a similar role as a cheap way to keep a creature alive in response to removal or damage.
