Protection and Day of Judgment?
Asked by WorkAround 13 years ago
if a creature has protection from white will it still be destroyed with day of judgement?
sarpnasty is absolutely correct. Though, on a similar vein, a popular board wipe card right now is Slagstorm , which protection from red will negate, as it is damage.

"Protection from red" is a shorthand way of stating the following four abilities, which are summed up in the DEBT acronym:
D) Prevent all damage that would be dealt to ~~ by red sources.
E) ~~ can't have red permanents attached to it. (Includes Auras, Equipment, and Fortifications)
B) ~~ can't be blocked by red creatures.
T) ~~ can't be the target of red spells or abilities from red sources.
So, there is actually a way that Slagstorm can damage a creature with protection from red--Leyline of Punishment , since the protection ability includes "Prevent all damage...", which the Leyline forbids.

Very much so, bcurran. Thankfully, I play standard primarily.
sarpnasty says... Accepted answer #1
Yes. With protection, just remember you DEBT
Damage is prevented.
Enchanting/Equipping is prevented
Blocking is prevented
Targeting is prevented
Day of judgment just says "destroy all creatures" it isn't targeting and it isn't doing damage.
