dragonfire blade
playing brawl in mtg arena. my creature has protection from monocolored via dragonfire blade. states exactly "equipped creature gets +2+2 and protection from monocolored. I understand that as if a creature is mono colored EX: only black, or if a spell targeting it is only black, then it should have protection from that mono color. Now two games in a row I was blocked by a mono green creature with deathtouch and my creature died, and the next game the opponent's commander was mono black and used mono black kill spells to kill equipped creature. "Scratches head" I'm not sure that's how that is supposed to work. Am I wrong to assume that I should have had protection from those mono-colored creatures and spells while equipped with dragonfire blade?

Dragonfire Blade does NOT grant protection from monocolred, it grants HEXPROOF from monocolored. And hexproof only cares about targeting. It has no influence on combat or damage.
In addition, your opponent had Nowhere to Run on the field, which shuts down hexproof via its ability:
"Creatures your opponents control can be the targets of spells and abilities as though they didn't have hexproof. Ward abilities of those creatures don't trigger."
