Shroud won't protect a creature from sweepers like Earthquake, Pyroclasm, or especially Wrath. They'll still take the damage and/or be destroyed or whatever the applicable effect is.

Shroud's exactly what it says on the tin: "may not target". If it's not being targetted then shroud doesn't do anything.

[edit]

To clarify on protection since my pre-breakfast post was worded poorly: Damage, Equip/Enchant, Block, and Targetting (DEBT) are prevented by protection but other sweeper effects ("whatever the applicable effect is") from power/toughness modifications to exiling and destruction will still work. You can Wrath something with protection from white, and something with protection from green will still benefit from Overrun.

shadow Blanket damage wouldn't damage a creature with protection

I was meaning that shot about protection to refer only to destruction or other effects but that wasn't very clear, reworded now. Thanks thatoneguy, I need to stop posting before I eat breakfast if that original post made sense to me >.<

what does protection from "blank" have to do with anything...he asked about shroud

but indeed anything without the word or spells which otherwise targets something(an aura for example) has no relation to shroud whatsoever

he meant "protect" as in the English word...not the MTG keyword Protection, then clarified since the other made the same misinterpretation.
