Call of the Great Beast and self-contest was created by Ashenbach
Hello,
Let's say i have a Nergal in play with a Discipline card on him, making a 11 cap vampire and a vampire named "Call the Great Beast" in play (previously put in play by another Baali).
¿Can Nergal play another Call the Great Beast action? ¿What happens if he can?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

"¿Can Nergal play another Call the Great Beast action?"
Yes
"¿What happens if he can?"
It is burned once it resolves.

CAUTION: Be careful about putting duplicates of the same unique cards in your deck. You cannot control more than one of the same unique card at a time, and you cannot voluntarily contest cards with yourself (if some effect would force you to contest a card with yourself, then you simply burn the incoming copy of the unique card). On the other hand, you may wish to have a second copy handy in case the first is burned.

No, it would result in self-contest which is prohibited by the rules:

The card is not unique.
It represents a unique vampire once condition is met.
So can you update the text or the ruling?

You can have multiple Call the Great Beast as attached cards. It represents a unique vampire once it detaches from the vampire. It's all already written on the card.

Reading the card explains the card. Comparing Aranthebes vs Call the Great Beast shows this. One is unique, one is not, until by cardtext it becomes unique.
