Goodness (Terr class clay GE)  Place on your clay Hero: if opponent uses an evil "end the battle" ability, you may make that player draw 1 instead. When this Hero enters battle, negate an evil card.

vs.

Gibeonite trickery: Brown EE  Each Hero in battle gains 0/4 and the battle immediately ends. Ability can not be interrupted or prevented. Errata/Play As: Each Hero in battle gains 0/4 (permanently) and the battle immediately ends. Cannot be negated.

In battle, EC plays Gib trick. Can Hero (with goodness on him) use his goodness ability to stop it even tho Gib Trick CBN? Basically, does "instead" beat CBN?

Thanks.

Alex is correct. To clarify, "instead" abilities aren't trying to negate anything, they just change what it does. Instead abilities can still affect CBN/CBI abilities.
