The creature gets protection from the colour of my choice just fine. The problem is this part "This effect doesn’t remove Flickering Ward.". As soon as I play the enchantment and choose white for the colour it goes immediately to the graveyard. So I guess I need to code an exception?

[RiiakShiNal]

Coding in the exception should be easy it should be just like this:

Code: Select all

   <CONTINUOUS_ACTION layer="6">
      local chosencolor = ObjectDC():Get_Int( 0 )
      local parent = Object():GetParent()
      if parent ~= nil then
         local filter = Object():GetFilter()
         filter:Clear()
         filter:AddColour( chosencolor )
         filter:SetCardInstance( Object() )
         filter:AddExtra( FILTER_EXTRA_FLIP_CARD_INSTANCE )
         parent:Protection()
      end
    </CONTINUOUS_ACTION>

Though due to adding the exception it may screw with the protection badge appearance and tip text (I don't know as I haven't tested).

I think so, too. And we don't even get the "generic protection" badge, but the regeneration badge instead... I hate that visual bug.
