Thaddeus Immune or Protect?

I was wondering is thaddeus' SA play like a immune ability or a protect ability, but how would you play a card thats "protected from an EC" would it be like immunity?

Thaddeus (Di)
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Purple • Ability: 8 / 8 • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect all cards in play, set-aside area, Artifact piles, hands, and decks from Evil Characters with toughness X or less. Cannot be interrupted. • Identifiers: NT Male Human, Disciple • Verse: Matthew 10:2-3 • Availability: Disciples booster packs ()

It is not played like an immune ability.

EX: You make a RA with Thaddeus. Opponent blocks with leviathin. You have initiative. Then you die if you dont have anything to back him up with.

- I think.  :P

Protect means "can't be the Target of abilities."  Immune is more akin to MC Hammer: can't touch this.

Protect means "can't be the Target of abilities."  That means that any special ability the EC uses cant target cards in play, set-aside area, Artifact piles, hands, or decks. The only exception due to game rule is that the EC can target himself because a character cant be protected or immune from himself. This is why immunity aka Red Dragon works.
This is the way Lackey gave it to me. All hail the power of Lackey!

And Rick James is a negate.  ;)

Does that make Rick Astley a withdraw?

Either that or he's an evil character with "No Lost Souls may be rescued while Rick Astley is in play because he's never gonna give them up. CBN." ;)

Hm so I didn't know that red dragon's immunity worked Vs Thad...good to know...can 5/6 red dragon's enhancements work as well even if Thad is "protecting against 11 tuffness EC's?" Or is that effectively negated as usual?

Enhancements used by RD would still be protected against by Thad.

Just to clarify, in the situation with a Thaddeus protecting against <=11 vs. a Red Dragon immune to humans, the current status of the battle is a stalemate, right?

Correct.  Thad can't beat immune, and RD can't beat Thad via numbers.

Would negates on RD still work to negate anything played on Thad to keep RD in battle?

As far as I know, yes.  You can't protect from negate.
