Title: Simon the Zealot vs Rain Becomes Dust
Post by: JDS on August 18, 2010, 10:45:59 AM

Rain Becomes Dust: Play as: If an opponent activates a draw special ability, reveal the cards instead. Place all revealed Lost Souls in opponent’s territory and discard the rest.

Simon the Zealot: Negate and discard Rome and a N.T. Idol. First Strike. Protect your hand and deck from opponents' cards while this Hero remains in play.

Does Simon protect against RBD?

I'd say yes

Yes. RBD would have no effect when Simon's ability is active. This is different than the Four Drachma Coin situation, since that only protects from discard abilities. Simon would protect from the reveal as well, so you could draw cards as normal with RBD active.

Makes sense.
