Can a target of a D action that's a Minion, block a D action that’s directed against themselves?
For example, I was playing a game recently and Millicent Smith was on the table.
Player 1, (with Millicent Smith) played Haven Uncovered on an untapped Lambach (player 2).
After the Haven was played, Player 1 announced an attack on Lambach with one of her vampires.
Player 2 then used Lambach to block the Direct Attack against himself enabled by the Haven, invoking Millicent Smith to destroy Player 1’s attacking vampire.
Nothing in the rules (that I’ve found) expressly forbids blocking D actions with the target of the D action, so long as the target is Ready. It still seems weird to me. What do you guys think?
Nothing forbids the target of a action of blocking that action, unless explicitely stated, as in the Red List card for instance:
> Name: Red List
> Cardtype: Action
> Requires a ready, titled, non-Red List vampire.
> Choose a ready ally or a ready younger vampire. The chosen minion becomes Red List. That minion may not attempt to block this action.
