Dis card... so many problems it is causing.

Gut instinct on my part says that yes you can. However, I'm sure there's a reason that it should really be 'No'

That sounds right.  On page 3 of the thread with the original ruling, Bryon said you could play LuG to discard Crown of Thorns to stop the discard of Pharisees.

How can you play an enhancement before anyone blocks?  There is no initiative check.

I can see the Pharisee argument because when the pharisee goes down...it is at least blocking and doing an initiative check.

This the only issue I have with ruling it the way discussed so far.  it wouldallow a free PreBlock Play?  I certainly hope not.

Yes.  Once Benjamin is placed in the battlefield and activates his SA, there is an active battle whether the opponent blocks or not.  My opponent's card, PwD, removes Benjamin, causing me to lose the battle by removal. 

It's no different than losing a battle due to Christian Martyr, only in this case the opponent's card CAN be interrupted.

So general consensus is yes I can? Awesome. I like my Genesis deck even more now. :D
