Ward and protection exist in places other than the battlefield, right? If a creature with ward or protection is targeted in the graveyard or on the stack, they still apply, right? |

No. Abilities by default only work on the battlefield unless they have to work elsewhere or they say so explicitly. Goblin Piledriver can be targeted by Essence Scatter. |

I was going to say take a look at how the changeling mechanic is worded, but it's been changed over time. Originally it said "(This card is every creature type at all times.)", but it was [url=Bloodline Pretender]updated to[/url] just "(This card is every creature type.)" I guess the operative part making a changeling all creature types at all times is that it says "this card". Which has me wondering, would a card that said "this card has protection from X" have protection in other zones? |

No, it's because changeling is a characteristic-defining ability. I missed that exception in my post. Characteristic-defining abilities like changeling, devoid, Tarmogoyf's, or Transguild Courier's work everywhere. These are abilities that say "This card's name, type, color, power, and/or toughness is THIS." |
