New NRA : Any Blanche Hills to trade ? ;-)

Now, if the old NRA isn't used in tournament play, I think we'll see her a lot : give her a few Master Disciplines, hunt, untap, hunt, untap, hunt, untap ad nauseam, 2 or 3 Blood Dolls, who needs 5th trad old version ? Not the Salubri !!

[ quoted text not captured ] She can only untap once per turn after a successful hunt action. I fail to see how this would work. Admittedly, I have just got back from the dentists, and with newly polished fangs, my judgement might be clouded somewhat.

Took the time to check the card last time, it says "once per turn, when BH hunts, untap her at the end of the action". Curses!

Because it is on a card in play [her own], Blanche can only use her untap ability once per turn, so she can hunt, untap and hunt, but she can't untap AGAIN after that. It's still a pretty fair blood/pool gaining trick but i'ld be more worried about Hesha Ruadze and/or Tremere with the Ankara citadel and fortitude. [ quoted text not captured ]

The "new NRA" only covers special ability *actions*. Blanche's special ability is not an action. But her card text explicitly limits the special to "once per turn", so the question of "does the NRA limit it to once per turn" is superfluous. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

Except that, as stated, she can hunt, untap, re-hunt, and if she can freak drive (i.e. if she's equipped with Aaron's Feeding Razor, it would make it worth it), hunt once more or do something else (renewed vigor ?..). Robert Goudie seems to implie that this new rule will render useless any tournament specific NRA rule, it would be nice (if only because players coming to a tournament should know all the rules before actually being there), but it will help equip / hunt decks ; not a bad thing, IMHO, but only time could tell...

Here's what was "as stated" (that you snipped): "Doesn't the new NRA cover this? Because it is on a card in play [her own],Blanche can only use her untap ability once per turn, so she can hunt, untap and hunt, but she can't untap AGAIN after that." So THAT question ("does the new NRA make Blanche's special only usable once per turn?") *is* superfluous with Blanche's card text, which explicitly limits the special to once each turn.
