Okay, I'm very green. I read the book, yet I am still very green. Read Eternal Struggle...still green. Talked to dumb friends...still green. Can you block a master card. Location, skill etc. How do you do it? How do stealth and intercept work with masters? What exactly does Arson do? Flit, Apprentice to any real Methuselahs...

No. You cannot block a Master. There is a Master Out-of-Turn card called "Sudden Reversal" which cancels a Master Card *as it is being played*, but this isn't exaclt blocking. >What exactly does Arson do? Arson - (D) burn any location. To "burn" a card means to put it in the ash heap (the discard pile). So an unblocked arson attempt would remove the target location from play.

There are other ways to defend against some Master cards. Locations can be burnt with Arson or Rampage, or stolen with Disputed Territory. Many other Master cards allow other Methuselahs to steal them. Unique Masters can always be contested... papillo the mentalist
