Let's suppose I have Emrakul, the Promised End in play, equipped with Swiftfoot Boots. My opponent plays Sleep. Does Emrakul, the Promised End get tapped or does Hexproof prevent that?

          Yes, Emrakul will be tapped.



          Hexproof prevents a creature from being targeted. Targetting is a very specific action in Magic, and only happens in two cases:



          1) A spell or ability has the word "target" in its text.



          2) You are casting an Aura Enchantment.



          In either of those cases, you cannot choose your opponent's hexproof creature as the target. But any affect that does not target will affect the hexproof creature just like it would any other creature.



          Sleep does not target, so it will affect Emrakul.

Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
