Rules Question on Protection & Attacking The Next Round

I am sure that this happens all of the time, but I had no idea how to respond when the players rules question made absolutely no sense.

Someone swings with the Prophet or some other multicolored creature

Blocked by Soldier of the Pantheon

and then it is stated that the Prophet cannot attack next round because she was blocked by a creature with protection last round.

So basically a rules question around something that is not in the rules to my knowledge...as a judge, I have learned the fine art of the slow down, the trigger review, the rule review, the threat of the stack--all classic judge moves to help players arrive at the right decision on their own--my goal as a judge, by the way...

But what does one do when one player is kind of making up weird rules that do not really fit?

Kahns of Tarkir @ Comic Quest

Jack and I went to Friday Night Magic @ Comic Quest

We got there a bit early and hung out--lots of Long Beach Comic Con talk--Geoff Johns gave a insider talk that the comic kids got invited to & they were STOKED.

There were also a suprising number of people who had never drafted at Comic Quest--some had not played in a while & were getting back into it with the new set, some had recently moved to the area, and some were just checking it out.

The lack of Local Grinders made for a very fun draft!

There were about 24 people there last night

Some arrived later so Level Two Judge Eric had to set up a fourth late start Pod--he handled it like a Pro!

I drafted clueless crap--not really sure what I am doing with this set...basically, I played a Black White mid-range deck with no bombs.

Drew on time against Mike--he was having much more fun than I was!
