Can protection block menace in MTG?
Absolutely! Protection is like the Swiss Army knife of Magic mechanics. If a creature has protection from a color (let's say red), it can't be dealt damage, enchanted, equipped, blocked, or targeted by anything red, including creatures with menace. Menace requires a creature to be blocked by two or more creatures, but protection cleverly sidesteps this by not allowing the creature to be blocked by those it has protection from in the first place. So, if your protected creature is up against a red creature with menace, it can just waltz past them like they're not even there!

Short answer: Yes, it can. Protection lets a creature dodge menace since it can't be blocked by creatures it has protection from. Menace says two or more blockers are needed, but if none of those blockers can legally block because of protection, it's like having an all-access pass at a concert.
Nah, protection feels kinda overrated against menace. Just use removal spells instead. Way simpler.
