Questing Phelddagrif maybe, protection from all colours.

Dangerous card, because it often kind of removes blocking from the game.. Awesome synergy with Dune-Brood Nephilim, which is probably unblockable most of the time and creates ~colorless~ tokens that ~can~ be declared as blockers! :)
My first successful rogue deck (standard) was centered on this back in invasion/odyssey blocks. It used 4 wild mongrels, 4 kavu chameleons and 4 spiritmongers + necra sancuaries & sterling groves amongst other things. Basically made my creatures immune to spot-removal and generally unblockable. Pernicious deed was a problem but I had bind boarded for that. All in all it worked quite well (could usually make top 4) until Torment came out and people started using a lot of innocent blood, chainer's edict, etc. I certainly got a lot of "um, ok (noob)" reactions when I first played it, until I won that is :)

Only combos with Swirling Spriggan if it isn't green. If it is, it'll have protection from him. And he has protection from himself, too. Also, Painter's Servant doesn't make it a stalemate, just a race.

Run in a deck with all artifact creatures. As I understand it, that would be an awesome combo.

@XTwistedsoulx: I know your comment is already more than a year old and I'm not sure if the rule has perhaps changed since then, but for the sake of other people reading this page now..
A creature with protection from a specific colour (or lack thereof) does not prevent it from being assigned to block an attacking creature of that colour, it only protects it from the damage it would take from an attacking creature that it's assigned to block. As stated in the MTG Rules Wiki:
"Creatures of the stated quality cannot Block the protected creature. So, a creature with protection from artifacts could not be blocked by artifact creatures. This does not prevent the protected creature from blocking those creatures, but they cannot block it. For example, White Knight cannot be blocked by black creatures, but it's still free to block other black creatures when they attack you."

--->Yes, yes guys, 5 color dudes,<--- I do this trick in my coalation victory deck, i even threw in knight of new alara, very fun, but don't forget that its a double edged sword. You cant block anything either.
Cats_and_me came up with the same idea i had, using dunebrood because we both noticed "Colorless" stuff can still block. Not to mention you will likey be playing with mana acceleration/fixing in a deck that uses 4 color dudes. Also why I run etched oracles and Infused arrows. Gets around my own trap.
Kudos to cats.
But another interesting fact to note is that it also prevents players from buffing there own creatures without using a off color spell. I did this to a friend playing a Black white deck and nullifide his edge of divinitys. Same thing for giant growth and there ilk. Take that collosal might!
All and all I love that card mainly for the amount of head scratching it causes. If you see this dropped across from you, its there for a reason and you need to disenchant, mortify, erase and tranquility it with extreem prejudice. Its getting ready to win a game.
EDIT: @ZaLiTHkA In case you didnt notice I was clearly talking about 5 color dudes (Go ahead, read the whole thing again, I left some neat little arrows to point it out. I'll wait...). Being that they are all five colors, any colored creature your opponents control can go right past them. Also, in the case of the 4 color guy I also mentioned, well he won't be able to block anything not colorless or blue. So before you going digging up wikia links and start spouting off rules like verse, make sure you fully understand what someone is saying. So "for the sake of others reading this", before you try to make someone else look like an idiot, make sure you comprehend what was said. Yes I know I'm kind of a jerk but hey, I'm a child of divorce. :P
