Hi there, Suppose my Herald of Topeth got a Textbook Damnation. Now, my Herald plays a card requiring Daimoinon (at inferior, since he cannot play it at superior). That card's printed cost is 1 blood (for instance: Conflagration, Greater Curse, ..) Does my Herald burn any blood to pay that card? I think he does - even though Conflagration (...) sees him as a vampire, the Textbook only sees him as an ally, and thus doesn't reduce the cost of the card. Thanks Pascal ~~ Herald of Topheth Cardtype: Ally Clan: Baali Cost: 3 pool Demon with 5 life. 3 strength, 1 bleed, flight [FLIGHT]. The Herald may enter combat with a ready minion controlled by another Methuselah as a (D) action. The Herald may play cards requiring basic Daimoinon [dai], Potence [pot] and/or Presence [pre] as a vampire with a capacity of 5. Any cost in blood is paid with his life. If a card would give him blood, give him life instead. If the Herald has less than 5 life during your untap phase, add 1 life. During your influence phase, burn 1 pool or burn the Herald. The Textbook Damnation Cardtype: Equipment Cost: 1 pool Unique equipment. The vampire with this equipment has superior Daimoinon [DAI] and is infernal. Cards that require Daimoinon [dai] cost this vampire 2 less blood [()]. During your master phase, if this vampire is tapped, burn this equipment.

Correct. Textbook has no effect on Herald, since Herald is not "this vampire".
