DI: If a Direct Intervention is played to cancel a card with
"Do Not Replace" text, is the "Do Not Replace" cancelled
along with the effects of the card, or is it still in
effect?
(The occasion was a Wake with Evening's Freshness that I
played, Intervened upon by my prey. We weren't sure if
it still counted against my handsize until my next untap
or not.)
TGB: If the second vampire (the one chosen to be tapped) leaves
play, does the effect of Toreador Grand Ball end? Or is it
unaffected since cardtext doesn't say anything about the
unblockability of the first vampire being dependent on the
tapping of the second?
PR: If a vampire with a superior Spying Mission on it again
successfully bleeds the Spied-upon Methuselah, who has a
Protected Resources in play, is the bleed reduced to 2 after
the Spying Mission effect is applied? (I'm pretty sure it is,
since the rule is that "you never burn more than 2 pool for
a bleed" while Protected Resources is in play.)
CG: When Carlotta's action to exchange a card in your ash-heap
for a card in your hand is announced, you announce the card
you're retrieving. What about the one in your hand? Do you
announce the name of it, hold it up (without revealing it) and
say "this card here", or are you free to choose, when the action
resolves, which card from your hand will go to the ash-heap?
WoL: Wave of Lethargy says:
"Only usable before range is determined. Maneuvers and presses
cost the opposing vampire an additional blood to play this round.
A vampire may play only one Wave of Lethargy each round of combat.
SUP: As above, and strike cards cost the opposing vampire an
additional blood to play this round."
The inferior does not say "maneuver and press *cards*" cost an
additional blood to play - is the omission irrelevant? From
[LSJ 20010814] it appears so, as he said that using a Mob
Connections press or IR Goggles maneuver would not cost an
additional blood. Correct?
At superior, do cards that are both strikes and maneuvers (or
presses) cost two blood to play (one additional plus one
additional)? Aid from Bats, for example - and at superior
it is a strike, maneuver, *and* press card; does it then cost
three blood to play? Or is two the most it can cost, since if
you use the card for a maneuver, it is being played as both
a maneuver and strike card, but not (at that time) as a press
card?
Withdrawing: One of the conditions for successfully withdrawing
from the game is that "None of your minions lose (or spend) any
blood until your next untap phase." [9.2] You would not meet
this condition if a vampire of yours was diablerized while it
still had at least one blood on it, right? Since the blood is
first moved to the diablerizing vampire and the vampire is burned
after that? But you *would* meet the condition if the diablerized
vampire was empty when diablerized.
What about if Golconda is played on a vampire while you're trying
to withdraw? Does it count as "losing blood" for the vampire to
be removed from the game?
Thanks,
