Shame I only own one sheepdog. :( > 2x Walk of Flame this is the only cards i see for burning someone. that and just taking a diablerie action. That seems a bit shakey for a trophy deck as your torporising tech seems to only be this and ivory bow, too. although theft theft theft hands for 1 i guess is another way to torporise someone. but i just don't think it's going to be reliable enough. I was going to make a Absimiliard's Army/Blood of Sandman trophy deck. See how that goes. (Someone somewhere will get an absimiliard's Ghoul. make it redlist. burn it with Blood of Sandman, collect trophies). Hmmm, i could mix tha and nec and use Release of the Shakled soul, too... -- salem (replace 'hotmail' with 'gmail' to email)

[ quoted text not captured ] Can you do red list on your on minion? If yes, after that can you do a blood of sandman on your on red list ally to get the trophies? Sorry if is a dumb question. Thanks, Rafael

You can only collect trophies after a (D) action that burns a RL minion, or burning a RL in combat. Due to the new (D) action rules, there _is_ one way that you can collect a trophy on your own minion. If you take an action that targets multiple Methuselahs, including yourself, then it is considered a (D) action. So if there's some action that targets multiple minions around the table, and burns one of your own who is Red List, then I think you could collect a trophy for it. (I can't think of an example right now, but it might exist) Otherwise, no.

The action would only be blockable by the controller of the other informant. Is this correct, LSJ?

LSJ

[ quoted text not captured ] Ah, except for the bit that Josh points out: that The Secret Must Be Kept is a political action, and therefore undirected.

Tobias plays Revelation of the Sire on Julius (which increases his cap too). Also, play 4 skillcards on Julius. Then, Tobias uses his action to make Julius a bishop. Then, make Julius Red List (somehow; details aren't important) Then, play Inquisition, targeting Julius and someone else's bishop (if there are no other bishops, you may have to Mind Rape some Sabbat vamps and use Tobias's ability; possibly Deranging someone first with the !Malk you surely control). Voila. Burning your own Red List minion as a D action, so you can collect Trophies. EASY AS THAT!
