[LSJ]Illusion+amaranth

Hi, my Illusion of the Kindred diablerizes another vampire through Amaranth, a bloodhunt is called and it is not in my favor : A) does my illusion burn and goes to ash heap? B) does my illusion burn and goes to ash heap and then is removed? C) does my illusion simply remove from the game? D) does my illusion remove before the bloodhunt (since the combat would be ended)? thanks in advance. - ProTeuZ

[ quoted text not captured ] I would say the illusion is removed from the game because the card does not state any conditions for removing it except for the end of the combat which will inevitably come. Not sure about the exact timing (B-D) but that doesn´t matter anyway, does it ? johannes walch

It says nothing about where the vampire is located, ready region, etc, so why is the answer not B? Is the logic, the vampire is not in the ash heap, and therefore out of play when combat ends, and is hence no longer affected by the Illusions? Thanks, David

Without explicit card text, cards can only affect other cards in the ready region. > Is the logic, the vampire is not in the ash heap, and therefore out of play > when combat ends, and is hence no longer affected by the Illusions? The logic is that Illusions doesn't have text saying it can affect cards in the ash heap, so it can't. --Colin McGuigan

Actually, that is: ... can only affect controlled cards (cards in torpor are included by default). >> Is the logic, the vampire is not in the ash heap, and therefore out of >> play >> when combat ends, and is hence no longer affected by the Illusions? > > The logic is that Illusions doesn't have text saying it can affect cards > in the ash heap, so it can't.
