Samurai of the Pale Curtain/Wheel of Sun and Moon

[waSP]

I play Samurai of the Pale Curtain. My opponent plays Wheel of Sun and Moon. Is this a AP/NAP issue or a timestamp issue?

Neither.

If both replacement effects would apply to a permanent - and because the replacement effects are different, one only affects one player, etc, they don't always both apply - the controller of the affected permanent chooses which one to apply first.

419.9. Interaction of Replacement or Prevention Effects

419.9a. If two or more replacement or prevention effects are attempting to modify the way an event affects an object or player, the affected object's controller (or its owner if it has no controller) or the affected player chooses one to apply. If any of those effects are self-replacement effects (see rule 419.6d), one of them must be chosen. If not, but any of those effects would modify under whose control an object would come into play, one of them must be chosen. Otherwise, any of the applicable effects may be chosen. Once the chosen effect has been applied, this process is repeated (taking into account only replacement or prevention effects that would now be applicable) until there are no more left to apply. If two or more players have to make these choices at the same time, choices are made in APNAP order (see rule 103.4).

Example: Two permanents are in play. One is an enchantment that reads "If a card would be put into a graveyard, instead remove it from the game," and the other is a creature that reads "If [this creature] would be put into a graveyard from play, instead shuffle it into its owner's library." The controller of the creature that would be destroyed decides which replacement to apply first; the other does nothing.
