wlflvr (06/01/2012) [-] D For creatures with protection, all Damage that would be dealt to it from sources of that quality is prevented.
E The card cannot be Enchanted or Equipped by cards of that quality. Again, a creature protected from black cannot be enchanted by black enchantments or black equipment. If a creature gains protection from the quality after it has already been enchanted/equipped by that source, the attached cards will detach and go where the rules would normally force them to go in that circumstance. For this reason, white enchantments that grant protection from any color tend to state that their effects cannot remove themselves should you name white (or the enchantment's color is changed to whatever you named).
B Creatures of the stated quality cannot Block the protected creature. So, a creature with protection from artifacts could not be blocked by artifact creatures. This does not prevent the protected creature from blocking those creatures, but they cannot block it. For example, White Knight cannot be blocked by black creatures, but it's still free to block other black creatures when they attack you.
T The creature can't be Targeted by sources of the named quality. For example, Putrefy could not target something protected by black, green, instants, or whatever other qualities it happens to meet. This applies even if the creature didn't originally have protection, but gained it before the spell/effect resolved. Keep in mind that this only applies for targeted spells/effects, which means it has to say "target" on it. If it doesn't target anything but just affects it, protection does nothing. Wrath of God is a common example of something that could get through, say, protection from white.

wlflvr (06/01/2012) [-] I dont think so. I actually got into this situation with progenitus. The ref called that he couldn't be targeted by any spell, even if it does say WHEN. Protection says it cannot be targeted, and Journey to Nowhere says "Exile TARGET creature." I wish it worked too...

ive been playing magic for years. emrakul says cannot be targt by spells, but it can be targerted by abilities, so oblivion ring/journey to nowhere is cast, it has to resolve before targets are cast making it an ability, so emrakul can be targeted by o-ring/ journey
