my & my brother were playing had a disagreement over Protect abilities.
My brother was trying to CM my Abiathar but it i say it protects against it he says Dominants Trump everything unless it specifically states such (Lampstand Etc.) I disagree based of the ruling of Judas Iscy which does not specifically target dominants.

Abiathar

Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Teal • Ability: 5 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect this Hero from discard abilities and remove from game abilities. Cannot be interrupted. • Identifiers: OT Male Human, Tabernacle High Priest (House of Ithamar) • Verse: I Samuel 22:20-23 • Availability: Priests booster packs (Uncommon)

Christian Martyr

Type: Grim Reaper • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Discard any Hero in play. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Revelation 11:7 • Availability: A Deck (L), A Deck (UL)), B Deck (L), C Deck (L), C Deck (UL), E Deck, and H Deck

*Note* As long as he is in battle.  To my knowledge, Judas Iscariot is the only character with the protect ability that remains active while in play... right?

I'm not 100% certian, but yes, I think judas may be the only character with a permanent protect ability like that.

Nope Aaoron from g/h pattys and priest has a sa like that for holy of holies.

Abel has a similar ability too unless I read it wrong:

You may discard a good card from hand to protect Abel from capture and conversion for remainder of game. Cannot be negated

While In Play just turns into For Remainder of Game.

Incorrect-Set aside is unprotected

Incorrect - M hankies and other cards protect set aside therefor one can be protected in set aside
