Protection
Protects your permanents from removal by granting them hexproof, indestructible, protection, ward or regeneration, phasing them out, or preventing damage to them. Protecting yourself (pillowfort, fogs, "can't lose") is role:player-protection, and returning a permanent after it dies is recursion:permanent:own.
