Cards and timing
David Pontes
Hi there everyone! I got some more strange stuff:
- Telepathic Vote Counting can cancel a political action. At what
time can this happen? Can I play it in response to a blocking attempt?
- When a master card has a target, or something that is yet to be
decided (for example, the number of minions to be tapped by a
Misdirections), at what time can a Sudden Reversal be played? Can it
happen after the acting player decides the details of his master phase, or
can a player wait for a sudden reversal to hit before he decides what to
do with the card? (e.g. "I play Unnatural Disaster. No sudddens? Ok, then
it's my prey's HG that gets burt, who can't sudden me now coz I already
gave him a chance to do so.")
- Are there any changes on the DCI tournament rules that include
card limits (and please don't use this as an excuse to start a CL argument
(: )? I ask this because I refereed a tournament this weekend, and one of
my players said he saw something on the Internet saying so. I asked him to
show it to me, and failing to do so I told him to take a hike. Anyway, I
got curious. Maybe he saw the Sensible Players Tournament Rules?
Thanks for anything,
David Pontes

No. "During a political action" means during the resolution (the voting
process) of that action.

The effect of the Master card is completely defined when the card is played.
So, when you play Unnatural Disaster, you specify what location you are
burning. Sudden Reversal can then be played in response.

No card limits, no restricted list. Only a Banned List (Ante cards, Paralyze
cards, and Monocle).
