file "My Enemy's Enemy" with 2 players left

Is "My Enemy's Enemy" superior playable with only 2 players at the table?

Name: My Enemy's Enemy
[aus] +1 intercept.
[AUS] Only usable when a minion controlled by your predator is bleeding you, after blocks are declined. Lock this reacting vampire. The acting minion is now bleeding your predator's predator.

There is a LSJ ruling on this matter, but I cannot find it right now. Is that still valid?

Strange enough, the card text on "Lackey" explicitely reads that "My Enemy's Enemy" is NOT usable in a 2 player game. Why so?

Thanks in advance.

Not playable because the Rulebook says:
6.1.1. Bleed
Some cards or effects may allow or force you to bleed a Methuselah other than your prey. You can never bleed yourself, however.


I see what you meant. :D Actually I see no reason why it is not playable, but it is still useless.

Yes. Unlike most bouncers, it doesn't ask you to choose another Methuselah etc.

Yes. It is useful in that it moves the card -- you might draw something
useful.

Or it'll get you closer to decking and then you can withdraw. :-)



Note that the ordinary re-opening of blockers that you get at this point wither other bounce cards doesn't apply, because the target hasn't changed.

If the target of a directed action is reset, a new "choose blockers" opportunity results. [RTR 19970630]

It works indeed, even if we're pondering to change it or not to avoid the non-reopening exception.

Sadly, Amaranth version of my enemy's enemy reports a variation stating that cannot be played In 2 players. Why there's such variations? (Not only in this card anyway)

Because it's not the official version but the alpha version of the next cardtext (subject to change). If you want the official cardtext, select that option in Amaranth.
And if you want to give some feedback about the alpha version, please do so (I think there are some buttons on the website).
