If I play Eagle Sight to block my prey bleeding, does my Corpse Balloon grant me intercept? Most of those cards for D actions say YOU, such as Eyes of Argus. I've been out of the loop for a bit, and I know D actions changed over the time I was gone.
Thanks
Eagle's Sight:
[AUS] This reacting vampire attempts to block the current action, ignoring the normal prey, predator or target restrictions for blocking actions.
Corpse Balloon
Type: Retainer
Requires: Vicissitude
Ghoul with 1 life.
[vic] If the minion with this retainer blocks a action, he or she gets an optional maneuver on the first round of the resulting combat.
[VIC] As above, and this minion gets +1 intercept against actions.

Can you point me to the D action ruling change? I think it was something like, D actions against yourself don't become undirected, but can be blocked by prey and pred as an undirected action, or similar.
Thanks!

actions "against yourself" are undirected and can be blocked by prey or predator without Eagle's Sight. Common example is the rescue-your-own-vampire action.
An action that targets more than 1 Methuselah (which used to be undirected, in the past) is now directed at those Methuselahs. Examples: sup' Taunt the Caged Beast is now a action. Jaroslav Pascek, Edged Illusion are other examples.

Jaroslav and Edged Illusion don't target multiple Methuselahs, they target multiple *minions*.

I may be wrong, but action targeting a minion targets also the Methuselah controlling the minion.
That's why cards that trigger when there is an action directed against "you" trigger also when there is an action directed to "something you control".

Ankha, you are not wrong. However, Kevin was pointing out that Floppy's statement about D actions targeting multiple methuselahs, ala Taunt The Caged Beast, is not true for Jaroslav and Edged Illusion which do NOT target multiple methuselahs. Floppy is correct except citing the others as more examples.
Well, my statement was "An example of what is now a action is sup' Taunt the Caged Beast. Other examples [of what is now a action] are Jaroslav's ability and Edged Illusion.
