Scry the Hearthstone - Clarification

Scry the Hearthstone

Reaction


Only usable during a action against you.
+1 intercept.
As above, with an optional maneuver in the resulting combat if this vampire successfully blocks.
Cancel an action card or action modifier card that requires Chimerstry or Obfuscate as it is played (no cost is paid).


So the question is, can it only be played during D action against you even on superior? This slightly confuses how it is actually printed in the card, so decided to ask for clarification.

Thank you in advance.

The bold text above the discipline specific text applies to all levels.
At superior visceratika , you may cancel an Obfuscate or Chimerstry action card or action modifier when your opponent attempts to bleed you or rush your minions or burn your locations (or other directed actions against you).

It is great to defend against that Elder Impersonation or Lost in Crowds that would make your block fail.

I'll have a follow up question.

Can I cancel, say, Domain of Evernight as it is played using as the card requires obfuscate as well, at outferior? I'm pretty sure I can, just want to be doubly sure.

Domain of Evernight
[obf] +1 stealth.
[tem] If this action is blocked, all damage done to vampires in the resulting combat is aggravated.
[TEM] Only usable when an action is successful. Untap this acting vampire. A vampire can play only one Domain of Evernight at superior each turn.

No, because it doesn't use the obfuscate effect.
If obfuscate was required when played at [tem], a vampire without obfuscate couldn't play it...

Well, the funny thing is that Scrying the Heartstone doesn't cancel EFFECTS requiring obfuscate, but CARDS that require obfuscate. Domain does require obfuscate as outferior, even if it's effect is not used.

I can see your reasoning, and it would make sense, but there is still room for another interpretation, so I'm not bought just yet.
