Wait, what? So protection doesn't protect from numbers now? I thought there was just a big to-do about the official ruling being the opposite...

I thought there was just a big to-do about the official ruling being the opposite...What they are saying is that "protected from discard abilities" does not protect from the numbers, but "protect from discard" does. Job is the former.
(let's try and make this 2-1...) Since Job says "capture abilities" the word abilities applies to all protects on the card (a la Reach of Desperation's "may" applying individually to all three abilities). HPP doesn't say abilities.

Job just says "discard" so it has been ruled that he's protected from game rule discards as well as abilities.
