What it does

Creatures with power less than this creature's power can't block it.

Megamorph 1 (You may cast this card face down as a 2/2 creature for {3}. Turn it face up any time for its megamorph cost and put a +1/+1 counter on it.)

When this creature is turned face up, return target card from your graveyard to your hand.

Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2015-02-25

    You compare Den Protector's power to the power of any creature trying to block it only as blockers are assigned. Once Den Protector has been legally blocked by a creature, changing the power of either creature won't change or undo the block.

  • 2015-02-25

    Megamorph is a variant of the morph ability. You can find more information on morph on cards with morph from the Khans of Tarkir set.

  • 2015-02-25

    Turning a face-down creature with megamorph face up and putting a +1/+1 counter on it is a special action. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.

  • 2015-02-25

    If a face-down creature with megamorph is turned face up some other way (for example, if you manifest a card with megamorph and then pay its mana cost to turn it face up), you won't put a +1/+1 counter on it.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Den Protector

5 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly. A printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Den Protector. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

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.
