I've been told yes, based on the same logic that applies with I am Holy + Chamber of Angels.

Yes. Your Job is your Job no matter where he is.

Unless your job gets outsourced to India, in which case it is now Ravi's job

I have revisited this topic.

With Dust and Ashes in play, do we mean to say that Job can never be taken out of the game nor defeated by means other negating his SA, unless Dust and Ashes is discarded?  Moreover, if Dust and Ashes is discarded while Job is in it, does Job get discarded since the targeted card for discard is Dust and Ashes and not him?

Thinktank?

A good Gold Shield would effectively do it as well.

wouldnt that be harm?

Only if it's on an evil character.

If it's harm, then it can't carry over it's ability when converted. It does, so it must not be harm.

How would that help? He gets reset when he returns to hand...

Harm is something affecting you from a different alignment. Gold Shield is evil. Job is good. It is affecting him.

If converting him to black is harmful but making him white isn't, you'll hear from my lawyer.

According to the REG:

Defeat

Defeat is caused when a character’s toughness is less than or equal to an opposing character’s strength. A defeat also occurs when a character is stopped from achieving his goal in battle. A Hero(es) is defeated when the Hero(es) in battle are discarded, repelled or otherwise fails to make a successful rescue such as in a stalemate. The Evil Character(s) is defeated when the Evil Character(s) in battle are discarded, ignored or otherwise fails to stop the Hero from making a successful rescue such as in a mutual destruction by numbers.

So if you block my gold Job (converted by Gold Shield) with Red Dragon, it'll be a stalemate, then Job is defeated, goes to D&A, goes to my hand, and comes back as blue Job. So Gold Shield only stalls him for one extra turn.

Probably the best way to get rid of Job is to band to him, then during the battle, negate his ability and capture/discard him. While he is under your control, your opponent's D&A can't save him. It's not exactly easy, but it can be accomplished by using Gathering on The Strong Angel or Captain, banding to Job, then using CM, Writ, or Charms. Obviously, a good Job deck has ways to get around that, but that's pretty much your only option when it comes to getting rid of him permanently.

not if your opponent does anything to harm, i would think it would only be if u used like wrath of satan then job would be discarderd? additionally can u choose to "play" dust and ashes at any tiime as to search your discard for job after dust and ashes has already been out a turn

If you use Wrath of Satan, your Job would be discarded (assuming he wasn't somehow otherwise protected) since D&A only saves him from your opponents. You can only search d/c pile once for Job, and that is when you first play D&A, as that part of the ability is a separate, instant ability.

If you manage to get Persian Presidents into battle while Job is recovering in DNA, DNA won't be able to save him. DD will also Discard him from DNA and DNA won't be able to get him back.

I'm fairly certain that if Job is affected while he is in D&A, you would just place him back in it (just like if you use DD against Angels in Chamber). That's how I would rule it.

Then chamber and IaH really doesn't work, because the angels you discard are in your hand, not in play.
