Post by: sepjazzwarrior on August 10, 2011, 08:31:31 PM: to me protecting from opponents me my opponents cannot effect my fortresses at all, and placing a card on a fortress would be effecting it, so why cant it protect from placed enhancements?

No. Negate always trumps protect.

Yes. "Place" abilities target the card they are placed on. Protected cards cannot be targeted, but their abilities can be (by negates, for example). So Peter's Curse wouldn't work, but DS would work to negate them.

So, you cant protect from what's already been done.
