Shrine of Fangs Bypassing Protection
Was playing a Historic Brawl game and, the turn after I played The One Ring, my opponent played Shrine of Stone Fangs, and it triggered twice due to their commander. It totally bypassed the Protection, and I looked to make sure there wasn't some specific achilles heel in The One Ring. This ended up being 16 damage I shouldn't have taken, and I died to my own One Ring the very next turn as a result. Looking around these forums, it seems this specific card bypassing protection is a common issue.

Shrine of Stone Fangs does nothing that protection helps against. Remember protection bei DEBT:
D amage is prevented
E nchanting/equipping is not possible
B locking is not possible
T argeting is not possibleNow look at the Shrine. Does it ...
deal damage? - no (loss of life is not damage, though damage usually causes loss of life)
enchant/equip? - no
block? - no
target? - no (being affected does not make something/someone a target, only the word "target" does)Therefore even protection from everything is powerless against the Shrine.
