If you spoof a card, the card cost 1 extra pool or in case of blood cost an extra blood.

If you spoof a sybils tongue would it cost 1 pool + xblood or x+1 blood. I was wondering since the first card does not cost any blood.

Since it's an unofficial, unsanctioned format, check with the organiser.

However, following the usual CaC rules, Sibyl's Tongue has a blood cost of X, so it has a blood cost, so increase that by one.

Here's Jussi Hattara's version of the CAC rules, the most up-to-date version I'm aware of:

In those rules, spoofing a card with a blood cost increases the blood cost by 1 and does not add a pool cost.

LSJ's ruling on Lord Aaron Wesley Wilshire is that the Methuselah playing the card chooses.
I'll link the reference later. Best to do is: check with organiser.

This is set at design time, though, surely?

For example, if you decided to spoof Leathery Hide, it has no blood cost, so it'd increase by 1 pool (using the default CaC rules). (And this would almost certainly mean you didn't choose to spoof it!) However, if you faced a deck playing Terror Frenzy, the card would now have a blood cost. But I don't think anyone would argue that would remove the pool cost you'd added to it.

The fact that Sibyl costs X blood (even though X can be zero) suggests that at design time, you should be bumping it to cost X+1.



Similarly, if I played Masochism - which actually reduces blood costs - I don't think a spoofed card with a now non-existent blood cost would pick up an extra cost of a pool.

Whenever this vampire plays a card, you may remove X rush counters from this card to reduce that card's blood cost by X.
