Does Hexproof protect from proliferate?

No, Hexproof does not protect against Proliferate because Proliferate uses the word "choose," not "target," so it bypasses Hexproof, Shroud, and Ward by selecting permanents and players with existing counters and giving them another of that kind without targeting them directly. This means even a hexproof creature or player can receive additional +1/+1 counters, loyalty counters, or poison counters from Proliferate.

What does Hexproof protect against?

In Magic: The Gathering, Hexproof protects a permanent (creature, player, etc.) from being the target of opponents' spells or abilities, meaning they can't choose it specifically; however, it doesn't stop non-targeting effects like board wipes (e.g., Day of Judgment), combat damage, or forced sacrifices, and you or your teammates can still target your own hexproof permanents.

Is Hexproof immune to enchantments?

Yes, hexproof stops opponents from casting Auras that target your creature, but it doesn't stop Auras that enter the battlefield without targeting (like via Zur the Enchanter) or stop you from enchanting your own creatures, and it doesn't remove Auras already attached. The key is that hexproof prevents targeting, so Auras that just attach don't care about it.

Hexproof Sucks. Here's Why.

Why would I want shroud over hexproof?

Hexproof means that "your opponents" can not target that permanent, so it is a one- sided effect that gives you so much value ('cause you can target it). Shroud means that "no one" can target that permanent, not even you, so it is a kind of universal protection from targeting.

Which is better, shroud or hexproof?

Shroud and Hexproof both protect permanents from being targeted by spells or abilities, but the key difference is who can't target them: Shroud means NO ONE, including you, can target the permanent; Hexproof means only your opponents can't target it, allowing you to target it with your own spells (like enchantments, equipment, or combat tricks). Shroud is more restrictive (universal protection), while Hexproof offers more strategic flexibility for the controller.
