In reply to Anthony Fox. Correct. I had to look up/verify that ruling. However, fun side note, if you name a card and it creates a token copy (see Giant Adephage) you WOULD have protection from the token copies as well.

Another minor nitpick: You have to name a card with Runed Halo so you won’t be able to gain protection from most tokens (Goblin, Zombie, etc) unless there happens to be a card with the same name as them.

In reply to Sean Choate. Fair enough, I misread...on the plus side he plays really well in modern since a lot of times people have to fetch/shock.

You’re incorrect about the 2 damage + EOT fetch with Sygg. Sygg triggers “at the beginning of the end step,” meaning your opponent would have to fetch no later than the end of your main phase to trigger Sygg. They don’t get priority to fetch during the end step until Sygg has already triggered…or not triggered, as the case may be.

Now, if they fetch during combat for some reason, or fetch in response to some spell you’re casting on the second main phase, then you’re in business.
