Can you play a Change of target to cancel the current combat and untap both vampires then play a Blood Brother Ambush to cause the blocking vampire to fight the Blood Brothers? I think you can, and I will show you why. Change of Target: Action Modifier Only usable when this acting minion is blocked. Untap the acting minion, do not tap the blocking minion, and cancel the current action and combat. This minion cannot take the same action again this turn. Blood Brother Ambush: Action Modifier, Brujah Antitribu, 2 blood Only usable when an action is blocked. Combat does not occur. Put this card into play. While in play, this card represents an ally with 3 life and 2 strength who can strike for 2R damage; this ally enters combat with the blocking minion. Blood Brothers may play cards requiring basic Potence as a vampire with a capacity of 3. Any cost in blood is paid with life. If a card would give ghem blood, give them life instead. Burn this card at the end of combat or if the combat is canceled. If you notice the wording of Change of Target, then you will see that it does not cancel the block but merely the current action and combat. Blood Brother Ambush on the other hand only requires a block and also cancels the current combat. The fact that it cancels the current combat is irrelavent because the current combat is already cancelled. The Blood Brothers go into play and then enter combat with the blocking minion. Note: Blood Brother Ambush also beats Obedience. Comments Welcome, Norman S. Brown, Jr. XZealot Archon of the Swamp

[ quoted text not captured ] This is an unrelated question, since BBA doesn't cancel the action. The answer is "no", because BBA starts combat. [ quoted text not captured ]
