Mask of Deceit

Arakni Specialization

When this defends, become a random Agent of Chaos. If the attacking hero is marked, instead choose the Agent of Chaos.

Blade Break

Rulings

From the The Hunted release notes

Mask of Deceit triggers when it becomes a defending card.
Whether the attacking hero is marked is checked on the resolution of the trigger. If they are not marked (or there is no attacking hero), the defending hero becomes a random Agent of Chaos at the time the triggered layer resolves. Otherwise, the player who controls Mask of Deceit will choose the Agent of Chaos they would like to become at that time. In both situations, there is no priority in between determining the Agent of Chaos and becoming that Agent of Chaos.
When becoming a random Agent of Chaos, it is possible to randomly select the same Agent of Chaos you currently are. In that situation, the “become” event will not trigger as you can’t become something that you are already. The same is true when choosing an Agent of Chaos to become.
