When a card with a mandatory ability, such as Stephen, targets an opponent’s hand or deck or whatever with a reveal or look ability, but that opponent’s hand or deck is protected from opponent’s (such as CoW Jacob), does the targeting of that location still count as a look or reveal ability that was used for the sake of certain triggers activating, such as the Dull LS?
Stephen - Reveal opponent’s hand...
Jacob - Protect hand and deck from opponents.
Dull LS - If an opponent uses a look, reveal, or search, you may search deck for an evil character or evil enhancement.
