I control a Blood Brother that is in combat. I also control Angelo who plays Brother's Blood at superior. Can Angelo use the ability of the in play Brother's Blood? I originally thought no - Angelo's ability only works when a Sanguinus card is played. When Angelo tries to use the ability of Brother's Blood he is a circle of one and there is no member of this circle in combat. Then I noticed the text "Requires a ready Blood Brother of the same circle as the one in combat." That made me think the 'this' in "damage taken by a member of this circle in combat" is set when the card is played. Then Angelo could use the ability of Brother's Blood when a member of this circle is in combat, but if there were multiple circles in play, could not use it when a member of a different circle is in combat. Also, if Angelo is in combat and a Blood Brother plays Brother's Blood at superior, they cannot use the ability to heal damage or prevent destruction that Angelo takes because he is a circle of one, not a member of this circle, after the card is in play, correct? Thanks. Later, ~Rehlow Brother's Blood Requires a ready Blood Brother of the same circle as one in combat. [san] This vampire can burn his or her own blood to heal or prevent destruction from damage taken by a member of this circle in combat. [SAN] Put this card on this vampire. The vampire with this card can burn his or her own blood to heal or prevent destruction from damage taken by a member of this circle in combat. A vampire may have only one Brother`s Blood. Angelo Blood Brother Group 3 7 capacity pot vic CEL FOR SAN Independent, Red List. All Blood Brothers may play cards that require Sanguinus as if Angelo were a member of any circle. Angelo can burn a location as a (D) action. He cannot have or use retainers. Sterile.

Angelo: "All Blood Brothers may play cards that require Sanguinus as if Angelo were a member of any circle." Brother's Blood SAN: "Requires a ready Blood Brother of the same circle as another one in combat.... Put this card on this vampire. The vampire with this card can burn his or her own blood to heal or prevent destruction from damage taken by a member of this circle in combat.

Fair enough. But like "this vampire" text on in-play cards, "this circle" isn't set. It simply refers to the circle of the vampire it is on. > Also, if Angelo is in combat and a Blood Brother plays Brother's Blood > at superior, they cannot use the ability to heal damage or prevent > destruction that Angelo takes because he is a circle of one, not a > member of this circle, after the card is in play, correct? Correct.
