Flying
Protection from white (This creature can't be blocked, targeted, dealt damage, enchanted, or equipped by anything white.)
Creatures can't attack you or planeswalkers you control unless their controller pays 1 for each of those creatures.
Rulings
2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2019-10-04
In a Two-Headed Giant game, creatures can attack your teammate and planeswalkers your teammate controls without requiring a mana payment.
- 2019-10-04
Your opponents can choose not to pay to attack with a creature that attacks “if able.” If there's no other player or planeswalker to attack, that creature simply doesn't attack.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
