Hey all

Just wondered, can Emrakul, the Aeons Torn (http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=103210&stc=1&d=1269384672)be targeted by Dragon's Breath from the Graveyard?

Probably a good idea to include the cards.



Emrakul, the Aeons Torn 15
Legendary Creature -- Eldrazi
Emrakul, the Aeons Torn can't be countered.
When you cast Emrakul, take an extra turn after this one.
Flying, protection from colored spells, Annihilator 6
When Emrakul is put into a graveyard from anywhere, its owner shuffles his or her graveyard into his or her library.
15/15




Dragon Breath 1R
Enchantment -- Aura
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature has haste.
R: Enchanted creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn.
When a creature with converted mana cost 6 or more enters the battlefield, you may return Dragon Breath from your graveyard to the battlefield attached to that creature.


Note that Dragon Breath's trigger does not target. Also, it's not a spell, which is what Emrakul has protection from.

If Emrakul had protection from colored everything like Progenitus (which it doesn't):

608.2d. If an effect of a spell or ability offers any choices other than choices already made as part of casting the spell, activating the ability, or otherwise putting the spell or ability on the stack, the player announces these while applying the effect. The player can't choose an option that's illegal or impossible...

Since attaching Dragon Breath would be illegal, you couldn't choose to do so. But Emrakul only has protection from spells, so knock yourself out.
