Necroposting FTW.  Can we please get a concrete answer on this?  Why can enoch and job survive being discarded by the numbers, but Protection of angels does not save from discard by the numbers.  I thought we had hashed this out exhaustively before but I cannot find that thread, So I will ressurect mine.  Discuss :).

So if Tim's definition is correct (which I see no reason why it shouldn't be unless someone else posts) Thaddeus doesn't protect from evil enhancements played on evil characters because he doesn't say anything about protecting from evil enhancements, right?

I thought this thread was about Raspberry-filled jelly donuts. There is no argument that supports jelly-filled donuts not being protected from raspberries.

But protect protects from special abilities.
Numbers mean nothing.
If you are in a fight with 10 ninjas against you, (numbers)
but you are Jackie Chan (protect)
and they throw shurikens shoyrookens shurikens at you (special ability)
but you dodge them (protect ability working)
but they kill you with their mad skillz, (numbers)
you are still dead. ( :'()

Well, from what Tim said, the REG's pretty clear.  Hey, we even got a ruling from the new one!

That comment from Tim came before my necro and does not answer the current question about Protection of Angels.

Tim says protection of Angels does not protect against discard by the numbers, but enoch and Job are both protected from discard by the numbers as a result of their abilities.  Why is that?  What in the wording of their abilities makes them behave different?  And if that is the reason why they play different how come?  That has yet to be resolved.  We have an apparent contradiction in the way protection works.  I know I will be seeing this kind of stuff a lot in my near future as a host and I need some context for why they work different(if they are supposed too) so I can make educated rulings on protection in general in the future.
