Ok, here's my question: is it possible to use blur, take the first two attacks and then use Majesty to end combat and untap? Well, I mean I know you can, but do the first two attacks cause damage? I know Combat ends cancels everything and 'retroactively' cancels strikes but the reasoni i'm asking is that the damage frome the first two attacks has already been resolved. Oh, by the way, sorry for the formatting. eryn .

(as you are joining my group, it might be nice for you to see how we think:-) ) Combat ends stops combat immediately, however, I believe that the 2 previous strikes will lnad. My reasoning is as follows. There will be the original strikes of the normal combat, these will be resolved in the first strike resolution phase (assuming no one else plays a combat ends). Then you would play the Blur at superior allowing 2 additional strikes, the other vamp would either have additional strikes or not. Eack additional strike has it's own strike resolution phase. So your first additional strike would be resolved before you chose your second additional strike. Thus, you could choose to majesty for your second additional strike and untap, assuming the superior (and I really can't think of a reason to play Majesty at that point without the superior unless trying to avoid the second additional strike from the opposing vamp.) This is my take on the situation. Each additional strike has it's own strike resolution phase. So, if the opposing minion played an additional strike card and did aggravated damage to you in the first strike resolution phase, you would go to torpor and lose the second of your additional strikes. hope this helped see you this weekend stephen

Combat ends is more of a preemptive thing rather than a retroactive thing. Once it's down, we're done, but before then, you can do what you want. So the opposing vampire would still be damaged. | If you've got a hot lead on a new | *--Joe--* | PC game, call the announce line at | js...@vt.edu | ** csi...@discus.ise.vt.edu ** | +-------------------------------------+---------------------------------- "Carnivores, oy!" -- Timon, TLK

Oh, by the way, sorry >for the formatting. Combat ends (officially) ends combat at the same time that it is declared - before the declared attacks begin to resolve. If you blur, then you will not declare that the combat is ending until the first two attack steps have been declared and have resolved. Your opponent's first declared strike would resolve normally (as would her second, if she gained additional strikes, too). At the point you declare a Strike: End Combat, combat ends. It will not retro previous strikes that round. (the outline posted here yesterday would clear this point up as well). ----- L.

No they wouldn't the combat would be ended before the damage dealing phase. -- Guy Swartwood tyrell.net gswa...@msgateway.wichitaks.attgis.com ____________________________________________________________________ "I maybe an idiot, but indeed I am no fool."
