Protector of the Crown
Creature — Giant Soldier
When this creature enters, you become the monarch.
All damage that would be dealt to you is dealt to this creature instead.
"I gladly offer my weapon and my life to the glory of my sovereign."

Abilities that trigger whenever you "become the monarch" trigger only if you aren't already the monarch. For example, if you are already the monarch as Custodi Lich enters the battlefield, its last ability won't trigger.

Protector of the Crown's last ability doesn't depend on you being the monarch. It will create a redirection effect even if an opponent is the monarch.
Aug 23, 2016
Applying this redirection effect doesn't change whether the damage is combat damage.
