Hm; wonder where I got that part then. I guess I must have just been extrapolating from the Ember Beast  case and the Pacts. ...I'm gonna go start a Rules Issues thread now.
And so people say to me, "How do I know if a word is real?" You know, anyone who's read a children's book knows that love makes things real. If you love a word, use it! That makes it real. Being in the dictionary is an artificial distinction; it doesn't make the word any more real than any other word. If you love a word, it becomes real.

Can you add "protection from everything" to the Protection Keyword FAQ entry?
Maybe just duplicate the "What does Protection from everything do" question and answer from the Progenitus entry?
Also, the Comp. Rules entry for Protection is out-of-date. It doesn't include the 502.7g rule that explains Protection from everything.

I'll wait a couple days for that, I think; the protection rules are getting another update in the next CompRules release, so I'll do it all in one fell swoop rather than trying to remember to do it twice.

Note to self: Add War's Toll  to the Specific Cards FAQ--it always provokes the exact same question.

All right, I've now added Cascade to the Keyword FAQ and Alara Reborn to the RPRP; I've also changed the Comprules entries for a bunch of keywords that have been altered. (Including protection.)

The "0 Power in Combat" entry should probably include an explicit statement about whether such a creature will actually deal combat damage. Avedommi is the one to inform of obsolete rulings in Gatherer (e.g., Liquid Fire  ), right?
No, I am not a judge. That's why I like to quote sources such as the rules that trump judges.

Right.

My friend has a card that is an artifact card. It states that when a player plays a white spell you can one life. The card is named Angel's Feather and me and him are at a stand still. He says that he gains a life when there is a creature summoned that has white mana in the cost I say that no creatures aren't considered spells. Either one could be right or wrong we just really need an answer. Any help would be great guys. THX

You're posting in the wrong thread:
Please do not post questions of your own here!
You should only post in this thread if you want a question or topic to be added to the list. If you do, please post both question and answer, along with an explanation of why the given answer is the correct one.
Please make your own thread if you want to get a question answered.
Anyway, creature spells are spells, and if there is white mana in a creature's mana cost, playing it as a spell (as opposed to putting it directly into play with an ability like Elvish Piper  's ability) WILL trigger the Feather's life gain ability.
In the future, if you have a Rules Question, please go to the Rules Q&A Forum and click on "New Thread" towards the bottom of the page.

All right, I've finally gotten up and made that change to the Combat section of the FAQ. I'm probably going to fix it up some more, but the basics are there, at least. I also went through the rest of the FAQ and the supplementary FAQs fixing links--if you find some that I've missed, please let me know.
If you have links to any of the FAQ entries copied to a text file or something for quick access--be warned that the links for all the entries from Attacking onwards have changed.
