What does 'protection' mean in Magic The Gathering?
Protection in MTG means the card is untouchable by certain things. It's like having an invisible barrier that keeps out all the stuff it's protected from.

Honestly, I think 'protection' in MTG is a bit overrated. Sure, it can be useful in specific scenarios, but it's not the end-all-be-all. A smart strategy and knowing how to counter your opponent's moves matter more.
In MTG, 'protection' is basically your card's super shield against whatever it's protected from. It means the card can't be damaged, enchanted, equipped, blocked, or targeted by anything it has protection from. So, if your creature has protection from red, red spells and red creatures can't touch it. It's like having an allergy but in reverse; the thing you're protected from just can't affect you!
