Directed Actions against self...
Chris Gillam
So, should all the cards out there that allow (on the text)
directed actions against yourself (the V:TES pulled fangs,
rampage, etc.) be changed to mean the action is undirected so
that only your predator and prey can attempt to block? Is
there official errata to this?

The VtES Pulled Fangs does *not* allow you take a (D) action
against yourself. As written, the (D) action is directed
against the controller of the Pulled Fangs (which is you, since
it is a minion card), so your minions cannot attempt it at
all. If anyone else felt so inclined to take the action for
you, then it would still be directed at you, and only your
minions could block.
The only card that allows you to take a (D) action against
yourself is Rampage. And, in that case, no one can block
(use of Eagle's Sight or Anneke is required to block, that is).

How about the Goth Band? I've been thinking of a crazy combo of
Goth Band/Dreams of the Sphinx/Short Term Investment...

The Goth Band doesn't have text indicating that it can directed the
(D) action at a card you control, so it can't

The current ruling, as I understand it, requires specific card text in
order to allow a directed action against one's self. Lacking this text,
Goth Band only allows you to make (D) actions against other Meths.
I don't think that "any master" overrides this ruling.

Goth Band Ally Tor. Anti 2 pool
UNIQUE ALLY with 2 life. 1 hand damage, 0 bleed.
As a +1 stealth (D) action, the Goth Band may move one counter from any
master card in play to a master card you control that uses counters.

control, this action is at +1 stealth") as saying that Rampaging your own
stuff is a regular +1 stealth action, else why give stealth?
