Submission: Nightmarish Glare

Name: Nighmarish Glare
Cardtype: Reflex

: Cancel an Action Modifier or Reaction as it is played by an opposing minion.
: As above, but you may cancel a Combat card.


Flavor text: "Boo!"

Art notes: hideous person scaring some other person.

Hmn, a free bounce cancel, usable on Dominate as well.

I guess the clan specifications does limit S/B abuse, but with the presence of Hide the Mind, does it really fill a pressing need?
Coupled with deep song, the above might be a bit too powerful, without a blood cost?
I kinda like it though, but that might be because I favour NOS

Cross-table card cancellation? Ew.

Not really.

Rulebook, wrote:

Reflex cards: A minion can play a reflex card to cancel a specified kind of card played against him as it is played.

Meaning played on that minion / targeting that minion etc.

designer's intent is to give a clutch 'nope' card to cancel big intercept if the minion is acting, cancel something when blocking like kiss of rain or stealth. Samedi get the "superior" and are able to cancel combat cards.

Reflexes can't be played for just any card play, it has to be something hitting that minion. [LSJ 20091202]

Stealth and intercept aren't played against the other minion in that fashion - they empower the minion they're played on. Hence stealth persists even if another blocker comes into play etc.
