Q: When Guardian Pillar is committed to a story as a character, can effects like Binding or Obscure Linguist remove its icons? (I mean, do the icons actually count as its printed character icons?)
A: No, Guardian Pillar as a character is a "virtual" card, meaning it contains no printed characteristics associated exclusively with a character card. It maintains its subtypes and cost, but skill and icons are not printed but gained. Anything that refers to printed cannot target or otherwise effect those gained characteristics positively or negatively.
Next interaction:
Pillar vs The Silver Key (SftSK) Pillar is not a ready character, it becomes character after he exhausts, so Silver Key doesnt prevent him from commiting and readies him.

I really wish I could run this in a deck along with Cavern of Flame, but if I'm running Hastur I can't imagine not wanting Stygian Eye. I might try out a more Dreamlands-oriented Hastur build and see what happens someday.
Disregarding the Restricted status, though, this card is a beast. I feel like it should have had a faction association though, which would probably save it from the Restricted list.
If not restricted it becomes an auto include in many decks - a reason for its restriction I suppose.
If I have Artifact of the Lost Cities attached to Guardian Pillar, and then Guardian Pillar is put into the discard pile while it is a character, does my Artifact of the Lost Cities still trigger? Artifact of the Lost Cities specifically says "when attached support card," but in my scenario, the Pillar isn't a support card when it dies. I assume I don't get the 3 cards, but I figured I'd ask.
I agree, the use of "support" in the response, seemingly redundant at first glance, becomes relevant here and you don't get your three cards.
