NOTE: When a special ability reduces a character to */0 or less, the character is immediately discarded, EXCEPT during the Battle Phase. During battle resolution, all characters in play or set-aside areas with toughness of */0 or less at that time are discarded.
Where is that thread? So High Priest's Palace no longer protects Sadducees from discard when Crown of Thorns is active?
"Protect from discard" includes protection from discard by any means (discard special abilities, game rule after decrease special abilities, etc.)."Protect from discard abilities" protects ONLY from discard by a discard special ability.
I'm pretty sure Bryon ruled that protect abilities could protect from numbers and game rules and stuff. Don't ask me to find the link though...

Here is the contentional thread. In it Bryon states that the status quo is maintained. And then BubbleBoy's aunt is compared with Sebastian from the Little Mermaid.
