I am looking for protection from red, red and/or creatures. The problem I have with Volcanic Island Lair, is that I had to raise the cc of my creatures too much to make sure they survive AEther Flash . I had a lot of small haste goblins, but once aether flash came into play I was left with a lot useless cards.

Thick-Skinned Goblin , Sea Sprite , Keeper of Kookus are the only three that match your criteria on Gatherer.

Sea Sprite is good. I don't think the other 2 would survive being cast.

Yes they would -- they enter the battlefield and it triggers AEther Flash which places its effect on the stack, at this point priority passes to your opponent to respond. If they do not, priority passes back to you so you can activate the creature's protection from red ability. Because it will resolve before AEther Flash 's triggered ability, the pro red ability will prevent all damage to the creature from red sources.

*correction -- you are the active player so you get priority in response to the AEther Flash triggered ability before your opponent does.

Nice. Thank you for the clarification. So Keeper of Kookus would be effective cost 2 to get out if AEther Flash is in play. I will definitely keep him in mind also.

Wow, this really mangled my post... I am looking for red and/or blue creatures with protection from red. I would like them to be 1 or 2 casting cost.
