James is right. A short way to remember it is:
All the rules in the rulebook still apply (you can't play twice the same action modifier for instance, even if it's cardtext was blanked).
Also remember that, by default, the cost of cancelled card is paid, unless written otherwise (DI, Sudden Reversal... but not Santaleous). Since the cost of an action is paid when the action resolves succesfully, a cancelled action is never paid.

It was unclear for me the way in which No Repeat Action worked in interaction with a "cancel" effect. Now I know why it goes that way but the uneasyness remains: "cancel" works different with different kind of cards and it is hard for me to grasp a genenal understanding of things like that, I prefer general definitions in that refer to rules. Cancel a strike means something different, in practice, than canceling an aditional strike and they're both combat cards.
James is right. A short way to remember it is:
- for action cards: the action never happened (but the card was played)
- for other cards: the card was played but with a blank text (= no effect)

Many many thanks jamesatzephyr. I thought the "only 1 source of aditional" worked the way acion modifiers and reactions do, now I know I was mistaken. Great explanation

With this thread clarifying the repeat action clause, I’d like to make sure I’m playing something right.
If I play Mirror Image for stealth and then become blocked. Can I still play a second mirror image in combat? And does it work the same the other way around. Same for occlusion.

You must be careful about "playing" a card, and performing an action.
The "no repeat action" rule kicks in when the action is resolved (successfully or not), not when the action card is played.

It is.
Action:
- You play Parity Shift
- I DI it
- You can play another Parity Shift or another political action of your choice. The repeat action 'taint' only kicks in when the action resolves, so no rule text is preventing you from doing so.
is it true (i suppouse that DI=Direct Intervention)?
It does. That's why you can't play another Ancient Influence if the first one was canceled as played;Game should remember that political action was played as you described it on example of Immortal Grapple.
Yes.does it mean if political action is cancelled by Dark Influences then this vamp can play another political action?
No.does it works the same with cards that can be played only once per game/once pre combat/ once per turn?
