[LSJ]Stupid question about Second Tradition

If player A declared bleed, player B (his prey) refused to block, then player A plays Conditioning to increase bleed, can player B play Second Tradition: Domain to untap his Prince and deflect bleed to another player or not? Second Tradition states that the minion must attempt to block. Thanks in advance, Ector

[ quoted text not captured ] He can't play 2nd after declining to block, no.

So play the 2nd, try and block, and when they stealth past you, play the Deflection.

[ quoted text not captured ] Correct. Second Tradition requires the minion to attempt to block. If the minion cannot (because of a previous decision not to block, Memories of Mortality, Seduction, or whatever), then the minion cannot play Second Tradition (or anything else that requires a block attempt). -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
