Let's say someone makes a rescue attempt with Thaddeus, and he has 11 good Disciples in play. I block with a gray EC and play Balaam's Disobedience. Does the immunity that BD should give me kick in, or is my EC protected from targeting himself with the immunity?

Thaddeus (Di)

Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Purple • Ability: 8 / 8 • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect all cards in play, set-aside area, Artifact piles, hands, and decks from Evil Characters with toughness X or less. Cannot be interrupted. • Identifiers: NT Male Human, Disciple • Verse: Matthew 10:2-3 • Availability: Disciples booster packs ()

Balaam's Disobedience (Pa)

Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Gray • Ability: 2 / 3 • Class: None • Special Ability: Evil Character is immune to human Heroes unless an angel is in Battle. This ability cannot be negated. • Identifiers: OT, Depicts a Weapon, False Religious Practice • Verse: Numbers 22:27-28 • Availability: Patriarchs booster packs (Common)

It has been ruled that Thaddeus does not protect evil characters from being immune.  So the immunity works.

Well, I know that that works for Red Dragon (who has the SA on him already). Does that also include playing an enhancement that makes the EC immune then?

Source please?  I thought it had been ruled otherwise.  

Don't have time to look right now, but it's in the "Best way to beat Thad" conversation in Strategies, I think.  Goliath's Armor was discussed as a way to CBN block Thad, and Bryon or some other Elder said that Thad doesn't stop ECs from being immune.

Woo! Gang war!

Dibs on the Jets!

It's not on that thread. It's a more recent ruling on Protect and Immunity that makes it impossible to be protected from or immune to yourself.

Just So it is clear to us Senior citizens will someone restate the correct answer to this scenerio. Thadeus RA. Red Dragon blocks. My understanding is that regardless of the disciples in the rescurers territory, Red Dragon is immune to Thad. Correct?

Pol is correct.  Characters cannot be immune to, or protected from, themselves.

To answer the original question, Balaam's Disobedience works against Thad.

yes
