Blocking an Artifact Creature/red enchantment Aura with protection from red

Asked by obiwin 6 years ago

Everything I could find on rules clarification regarding protection from [color] and enchantment auras deals with the protected creature getting the enchantment. What I want to know is:

Say my opponent is attacking me with an artifact creature (say Consulate Dreadnought ) that has a red enchantment aura attached to it Siege Modification. I then block with a white creature and play Brave the Elements to gain protection from red. Will my creature take damage?

Yes, your creature will take damage. Protection from (Q) means 4 things:

• All damage from (Q) sources is prevented
• Can't have (Q) auras and equipment attached to it
• Can't be blocked by (Q) creatures
• Can't be targeted by (Q) spells or abilities from (Q) sources

In your example, the protection from red given by Brave the Elements doesn't really do anything because there aren't any red objects trying to damage, attach to, block, or target your creature.

So the red enchantment creature aura doesn't make the object red?

Correct. Auras and equipment (and all cards in general) only do what they say. Siege Modification doesn't say it changes the color of the enchanted creature, so it doesn't.

For comparison, see Ghoulflesh, which does change the enchanted creature's color (or, rather, adds a color to it).
