When a card costs blood to pay, the drop has white in it if the acting
vampire must pay. However, in all but one case the blood cost is in the
lower left corner if it is Pool blood and middle left if it is Vampire
blood. The Deflection card (dominate) costs one pool, but the symbol is
printed in the middle left. Which mistake is this and how do people
generally read this card?
The default is probably to play it as pay from pool, but I notice that most
(if not all) of the dominate cards that cost blood are from the vampire.

It's really not a question of where the blood drop is printed. Blood
drops with a black number in a white oval indicate a cost to be paid by
the minion. Blood drops with a white number in a solid black droplet
indicate costs to be paid by the Methuselah.

We just noticed that last time we played. I think it, like telepathic
misdirection, should be taken off the vamp. The drop is in the right spot
for that. The rest of the gang probably agrees, but wants to wait 'till
second edition.

It is a mistake; the card has errata such that the cost is paid from the
reacting vampire, not from your pool (Duelist #3).
