It says right in the rulings, under details
"Protection from instants works only while Petrified Wood-Kin is on the battlefield. It can be targeted by instant spells or abilities of instant cards while it's on the stack or in any other zone but on the battlefield."
Like you know, all protection works? Uncounterable because of that? What the heck is wrong with you guys?

i don't know how exactly this ability is written down in the rules database, but compared to other cards with the bloodthirst ability, this one differs from the others.
normally, with a fixed number, the ability reads:
Bloodthirst (number): Creature gets (number) counters if opponent took any damage.
in this case, with the unspecified number X, it's:
Bloodthirst X: Creature gets (number) counters if opponent took (number) damage

Since people don't seem to like writing down combos for him...
Doubling Season
Gotta figure out how you can use that bloodthirst...
Well, his only one G makes him pretty versatile when it comes to colors
Bramblewood Paragon is a nice bonus.

It's one of the few creatures with nothing to fear from Ghostfire.

His bloodthirst should work in that scenario as it doesn't require a target. Damage was dealt to an opponent so he gets counters.
@all
He's not uncounterable because of protection, he's uncounterable because of his first ability which states, "Petrified Wood-kin can't be countered."
All in all though, nice card.

Sorry but he is NOT UNCOUNTERABLE. As the rulings say his protection only works when he is on the battlefield and as long as he is on the stack it does nothing. So he's not a blue mage's nightmare...
EDIT: Wow I completely missed the first line. Fail...
