With respect to Target Vitals for instance, are the two cards which are being "discarded" to cancel the card considered "played", and therefore themselves be cancelled if there is a Dark Influences in play? cheers shawn Dark Influences [KoT:U] Cardtype: Master Cost: 2 pool Master: out-of-turn. Cancel a minion card as it is played. No cost is paid. That card cannot be played again for the remainder of the turn. Put this card in play. The next card played that would cancel another Methuselah's minion card as it is played is canceled (no cost) and this card is burned instead. Target Vitals [LotN:U] Cardtype: Combat Aim. Play when choosing a strike. If any damage from this strike is successfully inflicted on the opposing minion, he or she takes an additional 2 damage from this strike, and he or she cannot press this round. The opposing minion may discard two combat cards [COMBAT] to cancel this card. A minion may play only one aim each strike.

You can't DI instead of discarding two cards. You either DI it, in which case the option of discarding two cards doesnt become available or you don't DI it (or it gets suddened).

[ quoted text not captured ] Right, for some reason, I thought the timing (cancel) was the same for both cards, not that that would make a difference. I guess. Does that mean the 'cancel' on Target Vitals is not restricted to when this card is played? Thanks, Matt

You're still in the "as played" phase where you can cancel things. Similarly, if Player A tries to DI a Freak Drive and it gets Suddenly Reversed, Player B can still play a DI to cancel that Freak Drive. I don't see why it would be different with Target Vitals (so if your DI gets cancelled, you should still be able to discard 2 combat cards).

Or must DI's effect be resolved first. Minion B plays infernal pursuit(CEL) and unbelievable as it is does not draw into any combat cards. Minion A plays Target Vitals Minion B's controller plays DI the cards xe replaces with what are or would be 2 concealed weapons. Xe believes if able to replace for discarding too Target Vitals minion A is going to torpor. But, how would it happen based on timing? I believe... A) Target Vitals is played ... do not replace ... ask for cancels B) DI is played ...do not replace ...ask for cancels ...all pass ...draw 2 cards ... discard to hand size B) Discard two combat cards to cancel T:V ... draw 4 cards ... discard to hand size A) ...Phasing player chooses whither or not DI fizzles ...replace Target Vitals Resolve strikes etc...

[ quoted text not captured ] Moot. V:tES does not have a true 'on the stack' timing for cards played. Once DI is played (and not canceled), TV is canceled as it is played (i.e. card text is canceled and thus non-existent), so there is no available option to discard combat cards to cancel TV (since the text that allows that has been canceled too). - YY
