Does Iron Pan negate part of the 3-er so that it can be rescued by 2 different people?

To clarify: The entire ability, including the restriction on who can rescue, is considered an identifier on the 3-liner.

Yes it's a protect, but it's CBN since it's an identifier.

Yeah, thats been brought up.  It was said somewhere that there is restriction for deck building purposes. 

I wondered why they didn't just errata it to be CBN instead of making it an identifier; it seems like that would have been simpler.
