Player protection: deterrents
Punishes creatures that attack you or deal damage to you: whenever a creature deals combat damage to you, destroy it; whenever a creature attacks you, its controller loses life; a defending-player trigger. A creature protecting only itself ("whenever ~ is dealt damage") or a payoff for your own creatures hitting a player is not this. Always also role:player-protection.
