Hi, assuming player A bleeds player B. Player B deflects to player C which deflechts back to player B. If I read point 3 in the ruling http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/msg/59af6ed99b9fa8b7 correctly a new block opportunity is openened an player B can try to block the bleed again? Greets, xcver 3) Normally, there is only one opportunity to block a given action, though any number of minions can try to block during that window of opportunity. But if the target of a directed action is changed, this closes the current window of opportunity and opens a new one, even if the same player as before would be trying to block.

I'm not sure what the confusion is. Point 3 clearly states that Player B can attempt to block again if the target of a directed action (which a bleed is) changes. Player B changed the target of the bleed from themselves to Player C, opening a new block opportunity (in which Player B could even attempt to block with Anneke/Eagle's Sight/ Falcon's Eye should C decline to block). Player C changes the target again by deflecting the bleed back to B, so a new block opportunity opens again. Chris, Thrall of Arika
