Emrakul's Demise

[Destore117]

Was wondering if blocking {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} with a {Vampire Nighthawk} would the death touch kill him as death touch isn't color specific but attacking him with a black card being the black card dealing damage would his protection from colors save the spaghetti monster?

Emi only has protection from colored SPELLS not permanents. Deathtouch, {oblivion ring}, and {supreme verdict} are all great ways to deal with it.

I was counting on my {Merciless eviction} next turn as they had the 8/8 annihilator 2 and the devil that is a 4/4 whenever you play an instant sorcery it gets +4/0

Was about to "correct" you and note that {Supreme Verdict} is a colored spell when it goes off, until I remembered that it doesn't matter because protection doesn't stop {Wrath of God} effects. :P derp.

Why would Oblivion Ring work?

[Kaleo42]

O-ring has to resolve and enter play in order to target and exile anything. It is not an aura.

[Charbelchers rage]

Doesn't the protection prevent damage from brim dealt to him in the first place? Thus he can't die from death touch since it requires damage right? As for wipes I thought it was still colored and thus void for effecting him

[Kaleo42]

If he had protection from colors yes that damage would be prevented, but he has protecion from spells (colored specifically). Vampire nighthawk in play is not a spell it is a permanent with the type creature. 

[Destore117]

Idk why but I always get his protection from colored spells confused with another card that has protection from creatures and colors

[Charbelchers rage]

Yeah but annular hot still kicks in so that might kill your vamp all together, but yeah that's a legit counter to aeon with vamp

[Destore117]

Yeah I had 5 land left and vampire nighthawk after the annihilator still was dealt 4 damage from {devil flame charmer} I think that's the card

Actually it's {Charmbreaker devils} then next turn lets see charm was at +12...and he had an 8/8 annihilator 2...eh...yeah over killed me by 16
