Unprotected will strip all cards from its armor traits. Beyond that, Unprotected also prevents all kinds of armor buff from taking into effect. So literally there will be no armor at all on the battlefield. This means card will rely on health entirely for defense and survival. Some abilities will become useless. Magic cards will be less potent. While speed and evasion abilities will become emboldened. So let's take a further look into this ruleset.
