I block with Egyptian Charioteers + Horses. I draw two, one of which is Mask of Fear (FBTN). I use my play next to play mask, negating my ability to draw it. Naturally, infinite loops are frowned upon, so how is this one solved? Could I conceivably play Mask this turn, and again later?
-
Mask + your card goes back and it's BBTN.
(I hope. I'm always terrible at rules)
-
Battle by the numbers always sticks regardless of where the card with the ability ends up (banding in Moses/CotH is another example) unless the BTN ability is negated by a CBN/CBP card. Mask of Fear doesn't negate itself, just all other abilities, so even though it returns to deck (as ridiculous as I think that ruling is), its ability remains active.
Or so I believe is the case.

This is correct.
-
Nice. Now if only I could think up some way to abuse this.
-
Mask stays because you can't interrupt(negate after the fact) the playing of an enhancement. Other cards go back and it is battle by the numbers.

That's what I would think.

I think the ruling is that the BTN card can't negate itself, so if Moses is banded in the BTN sticks even though Moses doesn't, however if Jacob bands in Captain of the Host and is blocked by 12 Fingered Giant, Captain gets kicked out and its NOT a battle by the numbers because it wasn't Captains ability that negated the band.

Not this again. This has got to be the #1 most misunderstood rule, it seems like every single thread someone's making this mistake.
-
You can't directly negate it. It can still be indirectly negated, however.

Really? In the REG it seemed pretty clear to me, am I missing something?
Instant Special Abilities > Play Next Enhancement
Default Conditions
• You cannot interrupt initiative to play a card once it has been played. Once the next card is played, you cannot interrupt the numerical initiative, nor initiative by special ability (play next enhancement) to play that card.
• The ability to play an enhancement cannot be interrupted.
-
You can't negate initiative, but you can negate drawing. There are three different abilities on ITB/Draw/Play cards.

Does this have to do with the ruling that if Philly Outpost searchs for a philly, discards it, brings it to your territory, you block w/ it and they play Helmet o' Salvation, the character is sent back to the deck? Is this correct?

But I was under the impression that something that can't be interrupted can't be indirectly interrupted either.
-
Nothing was ever attempting to negate the initiative.
