Can I use the intercept from Abbot to try to block a minion who's attempting an action against a location I control? I guess not but I just want to be sure. Abbot +1 stealth action. Requires a Sabbat vampire. Put this card on this acting Sabbat vampire and untap him or her. This Sabbat vampire gets +1 intercept against (D) actions directed at his or her controller. A vampire may have only one Abbot.

[ quoted text not captured ] An action directed at a card or cards you control is also directed at you. The Abbot intercept applies. witness1 -believe the lie

The only corner-case I know is Mehemet of the Ahl-i-Batin (Mage) burning a blood and a discipline card from your prey, where the discipline card is controlled by someone else. In that case, the action is undirected. That said, if I try to Spirit Marionette my prey at [obe], then it gets bounced to my grand-prey, it's still directed at my grand-prey (even though I'm trying to tap a minion of my prey.) Ira
