* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' has a few variants:
** "Indestructible" means a card can't be destroyed by damage<ref>More precisely, by a state-based action that destroys creatures that have lethal damage</ref> or by effects that say "destroy". Other ways of affecting it still matter, though, as does, in the case of creatures, reducing toughness to zero.
** [[Memetic Mutation|"Protection from X"]] means that a
** "Regenerate" works similar to indestructible, but requires you do something to activate it. It is a bit different: Something can still try to destroy it, but then the regenerated permanent is tapped.
** "Absorb X" means "Every time a source would deal this creature damage, prevent X damage."
** "Shroud" means that a card can't be targeted. "Hexproof" means it can't be targeted by cards your opponents control.
** "Madness" means you can play it, for its madness cost, when you are forced to discard it (whether due to a cost, an opponent's effect, [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=88817 One With Nothing], having too many cards in your hand at the end of your turn, etc).
** Counterspells take all of the above a step further and stop the opponent from trying anything to begin with.
** Finally, there are cards which cannot be countered.
