Auriok Champion

Protection Mechanics Explained

I'm wondering, if a creature (ex. Auriok Champion) has protection from a color (ex. B/R), will that protection prevent effects such as Infest (All creatures -2/-2 until end of turn) or will they still affect it?

Protection has four effects:1) The permanent with protection can’t be targeted by spells or effects of the relevant quality (usually color).2) All damage from the relevant quality dealt to the permanent with protection is reduced to 0.3) Creatures of the relevant quality can’t block the creature with protection.4) Artifacts or enchantments (aka equipment and auras) of the relevant quality fall off the permanent with protection.-2/-2 to all creatures does not fall into any of those four categories, so no, protection won’t stop it.

Norin Sisters Deck

I don't know how much you look at deck lists, but it might hearten you to know that there's a deck in Modern that revolves around Norin the Wary. It's called Norin Sisters and it uses Soul Warden and Soul's Attendant (and sometimes Auriok Champion--the Sisters, from the Soul Sisters deck) to gain tons of life every end step, triggering Ajani's Pridemate and Champion of the Parish, and sometimes Genesis Chamber as well.

That does warm my heart. Go Norin!
