MTG Salvation

Oh? I thought any land that hurts you is considered a shock land. Is it just any land that pings you for 2 damage a single time?

I’m searching for a particular kind of deck. I want to create a Public Service Announcement deck proclaiming the dangers of shock lands. It involves City of Brass, Donate, and an infinite tap/untap combo of target permanent. I tried searching for infinite combos of that type but it’s always for tapping/untapping the thing that causes the effect, not an external permanent. Anyone got any tips?

So, I’ve tried looking for another thread that matches this question but I can only find threads asking about multiple totem armors proccing or if totem armor can be saved if the creature regenerates. Anyway, my question is this: does totem armor (from something like Bear Umbra) count as regeneration for the purpose overcoming destruction from a card like Damnation? I feel like it doesn’t because it doesn’t actually use the word “regenerate” so that any card that is supposed to stop regeneration can be bypassed with armors.

Here’s the scenario: Pygmy Giant (or some other creature that can deal damage with a sacrifice ability) with an aura enchantment like Phyresis attached to it. I decide to sacrifice Pygmy Giant to deal damage to something. Does the infect/wither damage occur or does it become normal damage because I sacrificed the creature (and thus it has no more aura’s on it therefore no more infect)?
