Siren's Lure + Yawp Court
ira...@gmail.com
Vamp A1 calls a political action, Vamp B tries to block. Vamp A2
plays Siren's Lure. No more blocks are declared. Can Yawp Court be
used at this time? I believe no, because a combat is already queued.
If yes, can Vamp B be the one to do it (assuming he finds a way to
untap first) ? I believe moot, but sure.
If yes, and Vamp B ends up in torpor after the combat, then what
happens with the Siren's Lure combat? I believe this exemplifies why
the first answer is no, but in case I'm wrong, I'd say that the
Siren's Lure combat fizzles and nothing happens.
Thanks,
Ira
Siren's Lure
[cel] This vampire burns 2 blood to get +1 stealth.
[mel] Only usable by an untapped ready vampire other than the acting
minion when a minion attempts to block. That minion cannot block this
action. Tap this vampire and that minion. Once the action resolves,
this vampire enters combat with that minion.
[MEL] As above, but do not tap this modifying vampire.
Yawp Court
Master: unique location. Requires a ready Sabbat vampire.
Tap when a political action is successful, before the referendum, to
have a ready untapped Sabbat vampire you control tap and enter combat
with the acting vampire. If the acting vampire is still ready at the
end of combat, the Sabbat vampire takes 2 damage, and the referendum
is conducted as normal.

Look at it this way: If another block was declared and succeeded, the
combat resulting from that block is not annulled because of the
pending Siren's Lure combat. The existence of 'there will be a combat
later' due to Siren's Lure doesn't pre-empt any other combats during
the action - especially since that combat by definition doesn't occur
until after the action (and all of its resultant combats) resolves.

I'd think that Vamp B absolutely could be the one to do it.

Vampires in torpor can't be in combat, so yes, it'd fizzle.

Correct.

Sure (assuming, as you say, that he finds some way to really untap so that Yawp
Court can target him).

Yep.
