I think the answer is yes, but several players disagree
Yes. Card text: "Burn this card if this magaji attempts to block a vampire but
is not successful."
How do they disagree? Did you point out that the cards have text on
them? And that it does, indeed, apply?
I mean, assuming "the acting vampire A the plays Daring the Dawn"
actually means that the actual acting vampire (B) plays it, since A is
"trying to block" and thus not eligible to play DtD.
