Player A has both Guarded Rubrics and Watchtower: The Wolves Feed in play. Player B plays Dragonbound. Player A uses the "ready Black Hand vampire you control may tap to cancel a Gehenna card as it is played" option to cancel it (tapping one of his Black Hand vampires). Does B pay the 1 pool cost or not? I'm guessing that he does, since the Watchtower does not have the "no cost is paid" text, but am not 100% sure... mostly because of timing issues between the "when the Gehenna card is played" window and the window when the (Gehenna) card must be paid for. Clarification appreciated :) -Petri Guarded Rubrics [Equipment] Equipment [1 Pool] Unique equipment. Requires a ready Black Hand vampire. The vampire with this equipment may bleed at +2 bleed as a (D) action that costs 1 blood. While bearer is ready, Gehenna cards cost an additional pool to play. Watchtower: The Wolves Feed Master [Burn Option] [1 Pool] Master: watchtower. Requires at least one Gehenna card in play and a ready Seraph. Black Hand vampires get +1 stealth and may strike for 2R damage. A ready Black Hand vampire you control may tap to cancel a Gehenna card as it is played. During your untap phase, burn X pool or burn this card, where X is the number of Gehenna cards in play (minimum of 1). Burn this card if another watchtower enters play.

Since nothing is said about "no cost is paid", player B doesn't get his 1 pool back.
