For CtB, your opponent used to gain special initiative in the scenario you laid out. That changed at the end of this past year, however.

Gentlemen, thanks for your patience while I wasn't able to get back to this right away. The elders have decided that a choose opponent ability does not cause special initiative. When the entire ability has completed, it has withdrawn all Heroes from battle and presented a new Hero. At best you are losing by the numbers which does not warrant special initiative.

1. I agree with Kirk, Leviathan does not get SI to interrupt OoN.

2. Because StZ specifies opponents' cards, the only cards that are protected against are ones that are owned and controlled by someone other than you. Since KM is owned by you StZ doesn't protect from him.

3. browarod is correct. Just like Thaddeus protects decks from being drawn from from abilities used by the appropriate ECs, Simon protects against forced draw. Fortunately he also protects your hand, so that Mayhem doesn't make him unplayable...
