Snakeskin VeilprotectionBudget$0.08One-mana green protection spell that shields a permanent you control from removal, with a +1/+1 counter instead of life gain. It fills the same reactive protection role in combat and against targeted removal.Tyvar's StandprotectionBudget$0.59Flexible protection for a creature you control that can also be a scalable combat trick. It is usually stronger on a single threat, trading indestructible and life gain for broader X-based scaling.Blossoming DefenseprotectionBudget$0.46Classic one-mana green protection spell that gives hexproof and a power boost. It is narrower than Tamiyo's Safekeeping but serves the same cheap anti-removal purpose.Apostle's BlessingprotectionBudget$0.28Very efficient protection spell that can save a permanent from targeted interaction and some combat damage by changing protection colors. It is more versatile in color-heavy matchups, though it doesn't grant indestructible.Emerge UnscathedprotectionBudget$0.35Protects a creature from removal and can be rebought with rebound for repeat value. It is narrower than Safekeeping but similarly acts as cheap interaction insurance.Karametra's BlessingprotectionBudget$0.14One-mana protection effect that can give hexproof and indestructible to a creature if you control an enchantment. It overlaps closely as a defensive combat trick and removal shield.Gaea's Giftprotection$2.00One-mana green protection spell that gives hexproof, trample, and a power/toughness boost. It is a more aggressive alternative to Safekeeping with similar timing and function.Slip Out the Backprotection$4.21Efficient protection that phasing out a creature can effectively dodge removal and combat. It doesn't fit the same color identity, but it plays a very similar save-your-permanent role.
