Alright so my opponent was using Thad to make a rescue attempt, he had 11 disciples out. I blocked with my EC who had a toughness of 7 I believe. Knowing I was going to lose the battle I played the Grey Enhancement Bearing Bad News. The enhancement states that if a unique human evil character is discarded as a result of battle no lost soul may be rescued by hero this turn.
My opponent then said that since thad's ability was protecting cards from my EC and enhancements my Lost Souls were being protected by Thad from the protection gained from the enhancement.
Does Thad really protect from protection?
