Nope.  It prevents any and ALL damage from a source of that color.

You should tell wizards to fix mtgo then. Haha

They seem to like to make mistakes.
Really?  So on MTGO, your {Pestilence} could kill a pro-black dude?

Not nessisarly that card. But I've seen plenty of global cards affect pro X creatures. Such as wrath cards killing pro white cards.

{pestilence} says that {pestilence} , the black creature which is the source, deals 1 damage. With wrath effects, they do not specify where the damage is originating so they don't have a specified color for damage

If {pestilence } said 'each creature is dealt 1 damage' instead of 'pestilence deal 1 damage to each creature} then you could kill pro black

Hmm that's quite interesting.

This is because {Wrath of God}, {Black Sun's Zenith} cards aren't dealing damage.

Damage
Enchant/Equip
Blocking
Targeting

{Wrath of God} does none of these things, and so its effect is not prevented.  {Bonfire of the Damned} deals damage, and so it can be prevented from Pro-red.

Bah! I hate it when I'm wrong :P was so sure about this one too, but yup, I am dead wrong. Lousy protection confusion!

Protection is one of those things that seems to trip-up a lot of newer players.  (Not saying you're 'newer', Gorzo.)

As long as you remember D.E.B.T. everything else follows from that.   8)

Creatures with protection are debt free?

They are protected from new debt. 💰 if they had old debt they're still in it.
