IS Altar of Dagon still considered a protect? I have heard that we are to disregard "Play as" that are really errata. Is this errata or Clarification?

But is the play as correct? Is that more of an errata than a play as? That's the question, I know how it is currently ruled. Is this how it sill is Yes or No? Can I get some veterans involved in recent rulings and elders to comment on this? How many of the "Play As" Rulings do we ignore?

This is an instance of a play-as that's actually a play-as. "Cannot be" language is protect unless it's followed by (I,P,N, or Ignored), and the play-as is just clarifying in modern terminology. So yes, Altar of Dagon is a Protect (and a Prevent when it comes to Holy Grail).
