Destroy target attacking or blocking creature.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Protective Response is a clean, efficient piece of white interaction that rewards a board-centric control or tempo plan: you get to keep developing creatures while still holding up a threat answer. Convoke is the real story here, since tapped tokens, small utility creatures, or post-combat bodies can help pay the {2}{W} cost and turn this into a much cheaper combat trick in practice. Because it destroys only attacking or blocking creatures, it shines at punishing overextensions, winning blowout blocks, and clearing the biggest problem attacker without spending your whole turn. In deckbuilding, it pairs especially well with go-wide token makers, vigilant creatures, and decks that want to attack first and still represent removal. Compared with pure instant-speed removal, it asks you to have presence on the battlefield, but in return it can create huge tempo swings while preserving your mana for follow-up plays.
