Grandest Trick and infernal disciplines.

If a Infernal kiasyd with, say, Maleficia, does an action and then playes Grandest Trick. What happens? 1. Maleficia Master card burn, 'cos it's not a Infernal Vampire anymore. 2. He may play Maleficia cards, since it's not a discipline. 3. as 2 above, but not able to use cards with bloodcost. 4. Something completly different. Maleficia Type: Master Master: trifle. Put this card on an infernal vampire. This vampire may play cards that require Maleficia [mal] (not a Discipline). With two of these cards, he or she may play cards that require superior Maleficia [MAL]. Burn this card if this vampire is not infernal. Grandest Trick, The Type: Action Modifier Requires: Kiasyd Cost: 2 blood Only usable when an action is announced. Vampires cannot block this minion. This acting vampire is treated as a mortal ally for the duration of the action (cannot spend or burn blood, cannot use Disciplines, will burn if reduced to 0 life, etc.). This vampire's blood represents his or her life while he or she is an ally. Only usable on an action that doesn't cost blood or require a vampire, clan or Discipline. Burn option.

[ quoted text not captured ] Won't this result in Maleficia vanishing anyway? It's no longer a vampire... [ quoted text not captured ]

Grandest Trick doesn't remove the infernal status. In any case, the judge will simply disqualify you for failing to play to win if you pull out any part of this combo so it is all moot.

When on an ally (Grandest Trick), it won't even look to see if the ally is infernal or not. "Burn this card if this vampire is not infernal." not "Burn this card if this minion is not infernal" or "Burn this card if this minion is not a vampire" or somesuch. [ quoted text not captured ]

But even in that case, the vampire's Maleficia cards would be safe: their burn-clause only applies to vampires.
