If I remember correctly, a minion receives the NRA taint when the action resolves - that is, when it ends successfully or is blocked. Suppose Vampire A bleeds and is blocked. Vampire A receives the NRA taint. Vampire A plays Form of Mist at superior to continue the action. Vampire B plays Mask of a Thousand Faces to become the acting minion, untapping Vampire A. Vampire B successfully bleeds and receives the NRA taint. Vampire A, though untapped, cannot now perform a bleed action because it has received the NRA taint due to being blocked. Is this correct? - Ben Peal

[ quoted text not captured ] If true, another question: A bleeds. B attempts block C Mask1k to continue Can A bleed again after action resolution?

The previous bleed action did not resolve while A was acting. That is, A's action did not end successfully, nor was it blocked, so A did not receive the NRA taint. - Ben Peal

[ quoted text not captured ] Because of the word's actual meaning, not the fad one.

I assume that, in the above example, Form of Mist at superior and other combat effects Vampire A might have played do count for Mask of a Thousand Faces' playing restriction ("Not usable if any action modifiers or other effects have been used that could not have been used if this vampire were the acting vampire"). Is this correct? Abraço, Luiz Mello

[ quoted text not captured ] The key text you quoted was "or other effects". Form of Mist is one of those effects, so a Masking minion would have to have the capability of playing that effect in order to Mask. witness1 -believe the lie.

Is this correct? Yes, all effects count when checking for "action modifiers or other effects".

The deck with the 20+ Masks?- Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text - The idea is not the 20+ masks. will have deck posted after our storyline tourney, cos the shock value against those i play with will be so much better!
