Haktos the Unscarred

The randomizer fires exactly once, as the creature enters, and then the answer is locked: choose 2, 3, or 4 at random, and that single number becomes the one mana value still able to touch this thing. Everything else gets protection, which is narrower than it first sounds. Protection stops targeted removal, combat damage, blocks, and attached auras or equipment from sources of the wrong mana value, so a Fatal Push or a chump blocker at the wrong number simply bounces off. What it does not stop is any effect that never targets Haktos: a Damnation, an edict, an exile-all sweeper, a mass -X/-X that shrinks the board without pointing at anything. So the protection is a lottery run against your opponent's answer suite rather than a blanket shield, and the three-way roll means you cannot preselect it to dodge a known threat. Land on the number they happen to be holding and the shield goes dead against the one card that matters. The 6/1 body is the honest half of the bargain: enormous pressure stapled to a toughness that any single point of damage erases, plus a mandate to attack every combat, so the protection has to be doing real work just to keep the creature alive long enough to connect. It is a rare design that hands a randomizer the job normally reserved for careful answer-matching: instead of choosing your protection to beat a specific threat, you let the game choose, then build around living with whatever it lands on.
