Helena's ability says: If Helena is tapped and ready, she can burn a blood to be able to attempt to block and/or play reaction cards that require Auspex as if untapped for the remainder of the action. +1 bleed. If she burns a blood to attempt to block, is she still limited to Auspex reaction cards to generate intercept? Or could she, for example, play a Pack Tactics?

[ quoted text not captured ] I would say no. The ability specifically states Auspex. -- http://vtes.sentientbeings.com - V:TES Collection and Deck builder http://www.finalfantasygoodies.nl - Final Fantasy Collectibles.

Tapped Helena cannot rely on her special ability to play Pack Tactics, since her special doesn't address that card (it doesn't require Auspex). He special doesn't limit her, though. It just doesn't help with cards that don't require Auspex. She could use her special, play Enhanced Senses, draw a Wake to replace the Enhanced Senses, then play the Wake to enable her to play a Pack Tactics, though. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
