(LSJ) The Final Loosening?
Peter D Bakija
and instead the reacting vampire and the acting vampire each gain 1
blood. Under what non obvious (i.e. you clearly can use this during an
action that gains you blood, like Restoration or Abactor)
circumstances can this be used?
A) If someone plays Giant's Blood in the master phase, can Final
Loosening be used?
B) If someone plays Taste of Vitae during combat, can Final Looseing
be used? (Never mind. The answer is "No". You can't play reaction
cards in combat.)
C) If someone plays Voter Cap after a successful referendum, can Final
Looseing be used? And if so, can the acting player gain pool? (Never
mind. The answer is yes, but the acting player can still gain 2 pool
and the acting vampire gains 1, assuming at least 3 votes winning. So
wait to hear what your opponent does with the Voter Cap before playing
Final Loosening,)
Right, so really, the only unanswer question (after I thought to go
look up the answers...) is if you can play Final Loosening on Giant's
Blood or not. Which I'm unsure about. As I don't think you can play
reaction cards during a master card play. Except for the ones that you
can.
Thanks!

No. It is a reaction card.

"Reaction cards: A ready untapped minion can play a reaction card in
response to an action taken by another Methuselah's minion" [1.6.3.6]

Umm... so is Rewind Time... (I know it has specific card text, but I
figured I would put that out there.

And if your minion is not in the combat, can Final loosening be
played? (outside of combat that is)
Example,
A. Bum's rushes B's minion
B plays Taste of Vitae and A plays Theft of Vitae
C. Plays Final Loosening (just has to decide whether to play it on
resolution step (theft) or end of round (taste) step.

The answer is "No". You can't play reaction cards in combat*.
* unless card text says otherwise.

Card text of FL seems clear - "play when an acting vampire".
There is no acting vampire when Giant's Blood is played.
I don't think we even need to go to the rules to see the
rule about no reactions played during master phase - the
card text itself seems very clear.

Final Loosening
[Reaction] Reaction
[Auspex] Auspex
[Dementation] Dementation
[Fortitude] Fortitude
Requires an anarch.
[aus] Play when the acting vampire would gain 1 or more
blood. The acting vampire and this reacting anarch each gain
1 blood instead.
[dem] Gain 4 votes.
[for] Only usable when an ally is acting. The action fails
and the ally takes 1 damage. Tap this reacting anarch.

Yeah, Final Loosening = The New DI for Awe + VC.
Let them Awe the vote through, then Final Loosening with the VC...
comedy gold...

Ah, yes. Duh. Teach me to ask questions when I don't have the card in
front of me.
