Gehenna is upon us and everyone is going crazy.... Patrizia Giovanni, Collector of Secrets has Lunatic Eruption on her and 1 blood. Her prey has only Hannigan untapped with 0 blood. Hannigan has Haven Uncovered played on him. Millicent Smith, Puritan Vampire Hunter is hanging around Patrizia's hood, so she would like to use the HU to satisfy her manditory rush. Can she do this? Sure they are different cards, but can't manditory hunt actions use other hunt cards? -johnmeier

[ quoted text not captured ] "Hunt" is one of the basic action types listed in the rulebook. "Enter combat with another minion" is not. Some cards specifically count as 'hunt actions' per their card text and thus count as such (similarly there's a bunch of cards that count as an 'equip action' and count/can be modified as such.) Since "Enter combat with another minion" is not a default action type, the various cards that allow you to do that do not count as one another and are considered seperately for fulfilling mandatory actions (and none of those cards explicitly state they count as one another.) > -johnmeier -John Flournoy

[ quoted text not captured ] Correct. Patrizia isn't mandated to take "a rush action". She is required to take the "enter combat with a minion controlled by his or her prey as a (D) action" action allowed (and required) by Lunatic Eruption.
