Tom, Is it legal to play inferior Veiled Sight if the currently acting minion is already at zero stealth? (Can you reduce zero to zero?) Veiled Sight Reaction Chimerstry 2 blood Normal: Only usable by a reacting minion who attempts to block the acting minion. The acting minion's stealth is reduced to 0. After this card is played, the acting minion may still increase his or her stealth. Superior: As above, and this reacting vampire may steal 1 blood from the acting minion as a strike if combat begins. Artist: Josh Timbrook -- L.

Yes, just as you're free to tap something that's already tapped. Tom Wylie rec.games.trading-cards.* Network Representative for aa...@cats.ucsc.edu Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

The strike granted by the superior version is only usable once during the combat. [ quoted text not captured ]
