Improvised Flamethrower + Ex Nihilo
Colin McGuigan
Ex Nihilo'd vampire is at long with an Improvised Flamethrower. Gets
Thrown Sewer Lid'ed.
Does the flamethrower blow up?
(IOW: Does "inflicts" count damage the vampire is immune to? Rotschreck
is clearer with "attempts to inflict"; I don't know if they're synonymous.)
Improvised Flamethrower: "2R aggravated damage each strike. Only usable
once per combat. If the opposing minion inflicts any damage on this
minion at long range (even if it is prevented), this weapon is burned
and the bearer takes 2 aggravated (non-strike) damage."
Ex Nihilo: "Put this card on this vampire. The vampire with this card
gets +1 stealth. Damage inflicted by this vampire in combat is reduced
to zero, and this vampire is immune to non-aggravated damage. This
vampire cannot gain blood; any blood this vampire gains goes to the
blood bank instead. During your master phase, this vampire burns 1 blood
or is burned. You may choose to burn this card during your untap phase."

It sounds new to me, so that would explain that.
It was touched on tangentially in a noisy thread here:

Yes.

Rotschreck is different - it gets around S:CE, for example.
If someone Sewer Lids you and you Majesty, the Improvised Flamethrower
won't blow up.
"Inflict" normally means "successfully inflicts", but Improvised
Flamethrower explicitly drops the "successfully" requirement, so
any inflicted damage is sufficient (even if the target is immune to it).
