Re: New Psyche and Telepathic Tracking

First of all, Psyche and Telepathic Tracking are played in the same window now, aren't they?

Assuming they are, what happens if the acting minion plays a Psyche, then the reacting plays Telepathic Tracking?

Several possible answers:
-the TT effect kicks in first because the combat does not end. Then is the Psyche remembered until the end of the combat or does it fizzle?
-"Set Next Round" is like Set Range: it cannot be unset once it has been set, so the first card played wins (I like it, it's simple).

The same question might apply to Coordinate attacks too.

How they interact with rotshreck now ?

They will be (as of Jan 01, 2012).*

A new round of combat will happen (TT's "combat does not end"). Psyche!'s "start a new combat after this round" effect is lost (as much as Rotschreck's "send that vampire to torpor after combat has ended" is lost)

The same replies also apply.

No change on that. Rotschreck ends the combat, thus ends the round. You play Psyche! / TT / CA, and a new [round of] combat starts, instead of having your vampire go to torpor.

* EDIT Ankha: For further reference, the window during which Psyche! and Telepathic Tracking are no longer the same. Telepathic Tracking is a replacement effect and is played when the "combat would end" (and it doesn't end anymore). Psyche! is played when "combat is about to end", which only occurs once the replacement effects have been used, and only if the combat is really ending.

Thanks.

How about a Psyche against a Coordinate Attacks? I don't see any timing difference in that case.

Ah. Sorry. I thought you asked about CA instead of Psyche, not CA + Psyche played in the same combat.

You can't play Psyche / CA if another Psyche / CA was already played:
General Rulings

An effect which would cause (a new) combat cannot be used if there is already a pending combat queued.
