1.Can you interrupt cannotbenegated immunity?why?   2.interrupt cbn prevent?why?

1. No

2. No

what happens when i got two abilities fighting each other with cannot be negated status?

ex. heros ability: cannot be captured with CBN status vs. EC playing capture with CBN status?

Same thing that happens when you play paper vs. rock, where paper is a protect ability, and rock is a CBN ability. Paper wins. It just so happens that the paper has rock to go along with it, so that scissors (negate) can't affect it either.

If the hero's ability said "negate all capture abilities" or something along those lines, the hero would be captured, since rock beats scissors.

I think it makes a lot of sense. The confusing part is when a card is two or three of the basic categories, like a CBN protect, or CBN negate. You just have to remember that scissors will never beat scissors or rock, so if a card is either of those two, then scissors can't stop it.

Also, remember:

Rock: Cannot be Negated (sometimes it's a soft rock, like Cannot be Interrupted or Cannot be Prevented. Sometimes special scissors can beat them).

Scissors: Negate (or interrupt/prevent).

Paper: Protect

funny...I always remembered it the other way, rocks protect, paper negates, and scissors CBN, when did we change that language?

No. We have our own system...it makes more sense.

Think about it:

Scissors cut, or otherwise destroy paper, just like negates destroy protect abilities.
A rock is indestructible (at least with respect to scissors) just like CBN abilities are indestructible to negates.
Paper protects, or covers other things (like rocks), but it can be easily cut (destroyed) by scissors.

So I'd say it was less of a mistake and more of a revelation...or something.
