So I was thinking about negate and how it's not really a unique ability and actually just a shorting of interrupt and prevent, and then thought about how that affects negating an instant ability that cannot be prevented. For example, if Doeg blocks with King Saul in play and attempts to discard the rescuing Hero but the hero tries to play GiED to negate Doeg, it would seem to me like the Hero would still be dying because after it interrupts Doeg, it can't prevent him from activating again after the interrupt is completes. Is this correct?

Doeg: "...discard a hero. Cannot be prevented by a good card"

GiED: "Negate special abilities on human Evil Characters this turn."

I like how you just assume everyone will realize what GiED stands for...lol, took me a couple seconds to figure that one out. 

I'm still trying to figure out what card GiED is!

Yeah it was actually harder than I thought to find a GE that negates a character and wasn't a battle winner.

Samuel's Edict can negate Doeg and discard a different EC. 

and and auto d2 can protect gideon 2/2 can search his battle winner make a side battle and confusion shuffle a tapped liner
