Hello guys. I just want to be shed light on a matter. I am using Eight-and-a-Half-Tails commander while my friend uses Drana,Kalastria Bloodchief. We've been arguing with each other's ability since mine has 1W: Target Permanent you control gains protection from white until end of turn and 1: Target permanent becomes white until end of turn. I use the 2nd ability to target Drana in order to get protection from her ability as its states in a rule that protection indicAtes is you cannot be targeted by spells or by abilities from those kind of cards.
My friend argues that Drana's ability is B, hence it can still target me with that ability but The rules may indicate that i turned Drana white that I am protected from her ability. I hope you clear us unto this.
If 8,5 Tails turns Drana white, then the source of the ability (her) is white, no matter what is paid for it. You can then protect your creatures by Tails's first ability.
Also, wrong forum.

If you change Drana to White in response to her activated ability, and then give something protection from White, the ability will be countered:
702.16b. A permanent or player with protection can’t be targeted by spells with the stated quality and can’t be targeted by abilities from a source with the stated quality.
Drana is still the source, so if she changes to white in between the ability being activated and resolving, the game checks to see that the targets are still legal and in this case they are not. The ability will "fizzle" (be countered on resolution).
