Celestial Colonnade  Still counts as a land. You can block it and not take the damage, but can a land die?

Absolutely. In that situation, it's just as much a creature as a land. That also makes it Doubly  Vulnerable  . EDIT: I should clarify, it would only be a creature when you activate the ability, if there was any question about that. But the same basics I pointed out up top still apply.

I was under the same false assumption when I first started playing. I have no idea where it comes from.
There is nothing special about a Land Creature, it can die from damage just like any other creature can.

You can block it and not take the damage,
What do you mean by «not take the damage»?
«Dystocracy : A system of government in which corrupt leadership colludes with dishonest bankers and greedy elites in order to ensure that productive members of society –people who actually do useful work- bear the greatest share of taxes while gaining the least benefit possible.»
Sounds familiar?

I was meaning if someone blocked it. They wouldnt take damage. Thats why I was asking if a land can die.

Do you mean the Land Creature wouldn't take damage? Because if that's what you mean you are very wrong. Your choice of words isn't helping people know if you are saying what we are afraid you are saying.
A "man-land" follows all the rules relevant to its types. If it is a creature it attacks, blocks, deals damage, receives damage, is destroyed, and/or is Exiled the same as any other creature is. The fact that it is also a Land makes no difference.

I'm pretty sure he is just clarifying that if the Celestial Colonnade is blocked like any normal creature would be, the blocking player would not take any damage from it. Which, of course, is the case because man-lands act like creatures when they are animated. Block it with a Serra Angel  and they both die. Block it with a Scryb Sprites  and the sprites die. Block it with a Lord of the Pit  and the Colonnade dies. In all of these cases the blocking player will take no damage.

The thing is that the way he worded what he said it implies otherwise. I mean, look at what he wrote.
"I was meaning if someone blocked it. They wouldnt take damage. Thats why I was asking if a land can die."
The third sentence in that makes no sense in any context other than him assuming that man-lands don't take damage. That or he just has a very hard time expresing himself in English. It could be that English is a secondary language for him. For that matter, I've seen plenty of people who's only language is English who have a difficult time stringing a coherent sentence together. (Please tell me this isn't the case, even if you have to lie to me.)
