(An ongoing scheme remains face up until it’s abandoned.)
If a source an opponent controls would deal damage to you, prevent 1 of that damage.
At the beginning of each end step, if you’ve been dealt 5 or more damage this turn, abandon this scheme.
The last ability won’t trigger at all unless, as an end step starts, you have already been dealt 5 or more damage that turn. It doesn’t matter whether any of it was combat damage or not, nor does it matter who controlled the sources of that damage. (In other words, it will count damage dealt to you by sources you control.)
