At what points during an action is there a window to play Hide the Heart at basic Valeren? In the "as the action is declared" window? Before block attempts are declared? After block attempts are declared? After a block is successful, but before combat begins (ie, the Change of Target/Obedience window)? During a referendum? My prey declares an attempt to bleed his prey. May I play Hide the Heart before my grandprey chooses whether or not to attempt to block? (I'm not sure how the impulse works in that situation.) Hide the Heart The action ends (unsuccessfully). The acting minion may burn 1 blood to cancel this card as it is played. Only one Hide the Heart may be played at [val] each action. John Eno

No. Impulse works as given in "sequencing" [1.6.1.5] [ quoted text not captured ]

Can HtH be played in response to stealth and/or intercept transient cards being played during my prey's action which is directed at my grandprey? John Eno

[ quoted text not captured ] three players: A: your prey B: your grand-prey C: you A: Minion X performs some action A: pass B: some card Impulse goes to A, not to C. [1.6.1.5] A: pass B: no block A: pass B: pass Now impulse goes to you C: Hide the Heart

This also clears up my confusion about how one could ever use Eagle's Sight at superior to block a D action. Thanks so much for the explanation! John Eno
