If you use Eagle Sight under superior, will it allow you to block someone using a Day Operation to make his action unblockable? mark.

Do you have a message reference? >>>mark. Yes it is a reversal, no I don't have a reference. Play it like you want. But why would the vampire doing the action go to torpor when the blocker would not? The block had to occur in the day as well, right? (Note: the original ruling was always listed as "under dispute") The reversal noted that Superior Eagle's Site only allowed the attempt. Unblockable actions subsequently ignore the attempt. (So you could burn the card against a Day operation, but the block would be unsuccessful). It could be used to block "Rampage" when used on the acting Methuselah's action (A (D) action against yourself is can only be blocked by you, and you are not allowed to attempt it). This is sometimes called an unblockable action, but only because noone can attempt to block, not that the action itself is inherently unblockable.
