Hi just happened this in a jol game in A's master phase A: vessel B: wash A: another vessel A: ashur tablets i thought this is not doable as rules say that the subsequent trifle are regular master cards. so even if the first did not grant a MPA because it was canceled it was played anyway and so the second trifle is a regular master card. Have we always played wrong (not that this happens often..)? thanks Andrea

A Methuselah can gain only one master phase action from trifles in a given master phase; others act like regular master cards. Vessel1 (Canceled) did not provide an extra MPA. Vessel2 (uncanceled) provides an extra MPA this master phase, since the limit (only one MPA from trifles in a given master phase) has not yet been met. Leaving room for: Ashur Tablets.

[ quoted text not captured ] Mmhhhh.... But what about the Wash? Wash is a Trifle, that grants (per card text) a master phase action. And [1.6.2.5] does not mention _who_ plays the trifle triggering that rule. So why is the following interpretation not valid? Vessel1 (Canceled) did not provide an extra MPA. Wash (used to cancel Vessel1) provides an extra MPA. Vessel2 (uncanceled) does _not_ provide an extra MPA this master phase, since the limit (only one MPA from trifles in a given master phase) has been met. Best regards, Hardy Range

[ quoted text not captured ] because the extra MPA is provided to the player of wash in his turn...

Because the limit is a limit of trifle MPAs. For instance: A: Ascendance. B: Wash. A: Ascendance. C: Wash. At this point, this second Wash provides A with an MPA, since that card-text MPA is not a trifle MPA of the type being restricted by 1.6.2.5 So it could continue: A: Ascendance. All: No cancel. A: (Gain 1 pool).

So an OoT Trifle provides an extra MPA to the player who plays the OoT Trifle. The rule is there to allow only 2 Masters to be played without another effect like Parthenon, Anson, Cybele, etc... Trifle + Any Master or 1 Master Card only.
