Now I know its done before bu I am going to build a infinite life gain deck. If you don't know what I'm talking about i mean en-kor shaman lets say redirects 900,000,000 damage to Task Force which in turn gains x3 of that defense and then you sac it using something like Worthy Cause or animal boneyard. The build isn't finished. I know some pro guy got in the top 8 in the pro series with this deck and i just unforutantly lost the link. How does this build look
may i suggest Beacon of Immortality or even Heroes Remembered? i got it in my WB knight deck of mine so that way i could gain life while i build up my indestructible knights
How does protection from a color work? Does it make it so they take no damage and nothing would trample over if defending or does it make it so they are unblockable if they attack?
Damage is prevented
Enchantments/equipment fall off
Blockers cannot be assigned
Targetting the creature is forbidden.
Trample will still go through since the damage to the creature is prevented, but assignment still went through (part to you and part to creature).
Right, Trampling doesn't "notice" that the protection will prevent the damage. A 6/6 Trampler in green only has to assign 1 damage to a 1/1 pro-green blocker to satisfy his "lethal damage" requirement and then assign the rest to you, even though that 1 ends up getting prevented.
The combo you're thinking of is Shuko + Daru Spiritualist + Starlit Sanctum. You can substitute any sort of "sac for life" and toughness pumped when targeted creature, since this is casual. But basically you can target for 0 a bunch of time to pump your creature's toughness to 9001+, then sacrifice it for that much life.
It's a very old extended deck, but was brought up recently by the flores in this article

I agree, plus its a creature so I can use it as a blocker. What should I replace for Serra Attendant ? I need everything else. Should I split the warrior en-Kor with Serra Ascendant?
I understand the novelty and creativity of re-directing damage taken and turning that into lifegain, but why not just simply go life-gain?
It is more direct and easier to accomplish a game win than hoping someone attacks you. They can direct damage you, or go unblocked with landwalk or whispersilks, etc. It just seems like you're requiring too much of your opponent to attack you so you can block. Even then, your creatures can be destroyed rather easily.
Maybe because I play a pretty aggressive life-gain deck, I don't know, but this one just has too many holes that you just end up hoping the right thing happens so you can pull it off.
Here is what is in mine, so you may find cards that seem helpful to add to your deck.
The Soul Foundry's are there simply for fun in casual games with friends. I love throwing our a copy of serra ascendant every turn... or even the wall of reverence is fun, especially when I have the creature from ajani in play! Talk about a ton of life. Last night I played a game and had over 100,000 life, I ended up losing that game lol. It wasn't even a game where it was "lets see how much life I can gain" either, we were actually trying to win.
At any rate, I hope maybe you can pull something out of my deck to use in yours to help your deck out some.

I don't need to be attacked to use the ability. I can just use it, like as many times as I want. But thanks for the feedback. I think I am gonna replace guilt conscience with swords to plowshares <---is that spelled right?

Diamond Valley may be better than Sanctum, but they are crazy expensive unless your buddies let you proxy.
Last but not least, Kabira Crossroads may be worth considering.
