Title: Protection from...
Post by: respawned on October 27, 2013, 12:37:41 PM
As always ill just give the exact example I'm curious about...

{skylasher} has protection from blue so if it blocks {nightveil Spector} will it be dealt damage since Spector is also black or will its protection from blue protect it?

Since  {Nightveil Specter} is both black and blue, all effects of protection happen. In other words,  {Skylasher} will not take damage from the specter

Unless he uses an effect that states that damage cannot be prevented... Then the  {Skylasher} will receive damage

The wording used here is a bit strange, but ya if an effect says damage can't be prevented su h as on {skullcrack} he will take damage since protection prevents damage
