What stops annihilator mtg?

To stop Annihilator in Magic: The Gathering, you must remove the Eldrazi creature before it attacks, as the sacrifice trigger happens after attackers are declared but before blockers, and can't be stopped by targeting removal like Hexproof or Shroud once it's on the stack. Use removal spells (exile/bounce) before the attack step, tap the attacker, use "prevent all combat damage," or create many tokens to sacrifice to overwhelm the effect.

Can I block if I have protection?

Yes, in games like Magic: The Gathering, "protection" lets you block things you have protection from, but it also stops those things from blocking you, targeting you, enchanting/equipping you, or damaging you, following the "D.E.B.T." rule (Damage, Enchant/Equip/Fortify, Block, Target). For example, if you have a creature with "protection from red," it can block a red attacker (taking no damage), but the red creature can't block your protected creature, and spells targeting your creature with "red" won't work.

Why would I want shroud over hexproof?

Can you target your own creature if it has protection?

No, you generally cannot target your own creature with a spell or ability if it has protection from the color, type (creature, artifact, etc.), or other quality of that source, as protection prevents being targeted, damaged, enchanted/equipped, or blocked by sources with that quality, regardless of who controls them. This applies to your spells, too; a creature with protection from white (like from {L: Holy Day} or {L: Spectra Ward}) can't be targeted by your own {L: Swords to Plowshares} or {L: Pacifism}.
