Does protection save you from board wipes in MTG?
Nope, protection won't save your creatures from board wipes in MTG. Protection specifically stops damage, targeting, being enchanted/equipped, and blocking by whatever it's protected from. Since most board wipes don't target or deal damage but rather say 'destroy all creatures' or something similar, your protected creatures will go poof along with the rest.

Short answer: no. Protection in MTG doesn't stop board wipes. Board wipes aren't picky; they take out everything on the board, protection or not.
Actually, it depends on the wording of the board wipe and the protection. For example, if a board wipe causes damage and your creature has protection from that damage's color, it'll survive. But most board wipes just destroy or exile without targeting or dealing damage, so protection doesn't help there.
