Magic_Faqs thanks!! I'm pretty confident about the mainboard, however Elves is a really bad matchup. Personally I play paper and at my lgs basically nobody plays elves so I concentrated on other archetypes. This can be solved by adding more Shrivel or Suffocating Fumes in the sideboard. Vodalian Zombie already helps with defense, but being able to close the game with just one sweeper is pretty hard. I wouldn't get Evincar's Justice because Wrap in Vigor is a real thing lol.

Nordlys on protection from color, to what …

-1/-1 counters from a card like Black Sun's Zenith do affect creatures with protection from black, since the spell does not target those creatures nor damages them. Same for Infect, Drown in Sorrow, Languish, etc.

What you cannot do is to Disfigure a creature with protection from black, since you would be targeting it. Neither Dead Weight, since enchanting a creature requires targeting it. If the creature is already enchanted before gaining protection from black, the enchant falls off and is put into graveyard.

It's worth clarifying that you CAN also Proliferate, since it doesn't target permanents. Let's say your Vodalian Zombie has a -1/-1 counter on it, and an opponent activates Plaguemaw Beast ability; he could put another counter and it would die.
