1 cycling and 2 protections
Asked by K34 9 years ago
First question, would the abilities of Gaddock Teeg prevent me from using the cycling abilities of Decree of Pain and Decree of Annihilation ?
Second question, if a creature has protection from red, would it be hit or -dealt damage- by Pyroclasm ?
To clarify my answer, you will be able to cycle the cards :)

I may be wrong but if you where to cast Skullcrack before casting the pyroclasm then the creature with pro red would die. Pyroclasm does not target the creature. "each creature" Therefore it gets around the T in DEBT and from reading skullcrack damage cannot be prevented so the damage would be applied getting around the D in DEBT. I think i had read a QnA about this very thing some time ago back. dealing with Master of Waves and how to get around his pro red.

Ok, so what about if they had pro black and I cast Decree of Pain . Are they destroyed?

Yes. Protection means four things:
- Damaged by sources with the given quality (all such damage is prevented)
- Enchanted or equipped by permanents with the given quality
- Blocked by creatures with the given quality (if it's a creature)
- Targeted by spells of the given quality, or abilities with sources of the given quality.
If a spell or ability doesn't do any of those things, protection doesn't stop it.
Decree of Pain doesn't do anything that protection would stop, so it resolves normally and has its full effect.

Yes because you are not casting the card, you are activating the Cycle ability.
No, it would not be hit or dealt damage by red sources :)
