i had an argument about superior version of domain of evernight... The superior version says something like : a vampire may play only one domain of evernight each turn. may i call a vote, use sup domain of evernight to untap, then bleed and use "outferior" domain of evernight for stealth ? or is it prohibited by the superior version i played on the precedent action ? what if i played inferior, the outferior? does the limitation "once per turn" only applies to the superior version of the card, as the wording suggests clearly ? thank you =) reyda

"A vampire can play only one Domain of Evernight each turn." It doesn't specify a particular effect (or level), it only specifies the card. That much is obvious. So, of course, it prohibits you from playing another Domain of Evernight that turn, whether at inferior, superior, or "outferior". What I'm confused about is whether or not a vampire may play the card at inferior and then later play it at superior, or is the restriction on the superior retroactive? (It is worded in such a way that it seems retroactive, but who knows...) What if Synesios plays a superior Domain of Evernight and Nu, the Pillar plays an inferior Domain of Evernight... is Nu restricted from playing another inferior Domain? Note that the superior doesn't restrict "this vampire", it says "a vampire", which seems to effect all vampires. Since it doesn't say how long its effect lasts, I assume that the default is until the end of this turn (although I'm not sure that that's a given, it's obviously the intention). What if Nu plays an inferior Domain, then untaps and uses another inferior Domain on a different action. Then Synesios plays a superior Domain... Does the world explode? You'd think they coulda made things simple by printing the superior to say "...This vampire may not play another Domain of Evernight this turn." sigh... ;)

[ quoted text not captured ] It only applies to the superior (errata). It should have said: "A vampire can play only one Domain of Evernight at superior each turn." -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

I thought it was much funnier the other way. *sigh* ;)
