If I have Rain Becomes Dust active, and my opponent has Self Control placed on a hero in his/her territory, what happens if my opponent draws a card as part of a special ability used by that opponent?
Rain Becomes Dust: All cards that an opponent draws because of a special ability used by that opponent are revealed instead. Place all revealed Lost Souls in opponent’s territory. Discard the rest.
Self Control (territory class): Place on your clay or teal Hero. Protect your hand and deck from opponents' cards.
Basically, I am asking if there is some intermediate state to a draw when a card is neither in the deck nor in the hand.
-
There is no in between state. RBD will have no effect due to the protection.

Thanks. In the middle of trying to work out Redemption timing structures in a more formal manner.
On a related note: I assume that a card like Seven Years of Famine* would also have no effect** on a player protected by Self Control.
*If used by a Genesis character, place in your territory for 7 turns: Negate draw and ignore abilities. During each player’s upkeep, if their hand is 7 or more, they must discard 1.
**The "negate draw" portion of the SA.
-
Self control protects your hand and deck.
7YoF is a negate that targets abilities so it would still negate draw abilities of a player with SC.
