Restricted.
Why is this card restricted again? requires a long setup for it to work even if it wasnt.
To stop it being an easy choice for Temple decks basically.
Does Gustav Johansen disrupt the effect? After a cultist leaves play draw 1 card (forced respone). Does that mean you just draw your prophecy back into your hand?
Disrupt isn't the right term to use as that is an actual timing, but as Forced Response happens before Response, yes Gustav would cause you to draw this back, thus being a waste.
Por XV 14:19 won't be 1 of the resources, actually. It's a tricky part of the rules, but here's how it works in a nutshell:
Por XV's response criteria is met and you choose to trigger the card's effect. Por XV now targets the top 2 cards of your discard pile (it's still revealed on top of your deck at this point so it can't select itself as 1 of the 2 cards to be resourced).
Why? This happens before it's discarded because you always select targets first and then you pay the cost, which in this case is discarding Por XV.
It's confusing because the card text tells you to discard Por XV to do something, so it seems like you should discard it first before doing whatever it wants you to do. Just know that whenever a card reads "do X to do Y" you pick your targets (Y) and then pay the cost (X) to do something to those targeted cards. Por XV can't pick itself as a target because it's in the wrong place at the time target selection takes place. See the FAQ 4.0 Timing Structure section on pages 19-20 for an in-depth look at the action window.
Also, this question was asked and answered in the Frequently Asked Questions section on page 27 of the FAQ. It's about the Hamu XX 15:14 prophecy but it works the same way here.
