Yes, actually. Set-asides themselves can be Negated. Gained abilities cannot. For a long time the two were intertwined (no set-aside did something other than give a gained ability), so people have a mentality of "set-asides are CBN," but that's not true. The Pigs LS stops all of the drawing Feasts unless they are played on Joshua the HP in battle.
The special ability gained in set-aside cannot be interrupted, prevented or negated when the character enters the Field of Battle.
That includes the draw from Feast of Trumpets Pentecost.
Pigs LS (Di)Type: Lost Soul • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Prevent all draw abilities, except on Heroes. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Luke 15:15-16 • Availability: Disciples booster packs ()
Quote from: REGThe special ability gained in set-aside cannot be interrupted, prevented or negated when the character enters the Field of Battle.The Set-Aside section of the old REG was written before the set-aside cards from Priests were released. It alludes to the fact that abilities gained from set-aside cards cannot be negated. When that section of the REG is updated it will be more clearly stated.Abilities gained while set-aside cannot be negated after return.That includes the draw from Pentecost.

Play As: Restrict all decks from being forcibly drawn from. OK, that didn't help at all, did it? I only hope I live long enough to see someone reference the above claim in another ruling thread--that would be the sweet, sweet taste of victory.

so if its not giving a gained ability, what is the effect called? Is it just an effect from a set aside card?
It's a triggered effect that triggers when the heroes return. It can be prevented/negated, unless it was CBN when played (as Polarius said with Josh or now with His Name is John).
