I have a R/G manabase EDH deck with good artifacts in it. So i would like to protect my artifacts from destroy effects mostly from red. Whats cards can protect them? Thank you!

Moved to EDH forum.
GR doesn't do artifact protection. It does artifact destruction. Don't worry about protecting mana rocks.

The only other card I can think of is white. Leonin Abunas makes them hexproof basically but I'm coming up empty on R/G. Sorry man

The only advice I can give is don't worry about it. If your artifacts are truly good, then they will impact the game enough before they get destroyed to be worth it.
Sometimes baiting out a kill spell is worth it, too.

Also worth noting:
EDH is known for having tricky combinations of cards that get around destruction (Avacyn, Angel of Hope , for example). Most players know this and will pack ways to get rid of cards even if they're hexproof/indestructible (like Merciless Eviction ). Setting up ways to protect your artifacts will get you 2-for-1'ed if you're not careful.

This isn't really the right place for this, the Q&A is more for rules specific questions. Deck Help is probably your best bet. Someone will probably move this for you, though.
Darksteel Forge makes them all indestructible, which stops destroy effects. Can't think of anything more on the nose than that.
