The superior has been errata'ed: * New card text for superior: "(D) put this card on a younger vampire and tap that vampire. The vampire with this card does not untap as normal during his controller's untap phase. During the acting vampire's controller's next minion phase, she must burn this card to untap the vampire and take control of the vampire until the end of her turn." [RTR 19980707] So, when the action is successful, the target receives the card and becomes (or remains) tapped. While he has the card, he doesn't get to untap "as normal" during his phase. On your turn ("you" being the controller of the vampire who took the Mind Rape action), you burn the Mind Rape card and take control of that vampire until the end of your (current) turn. -- LSJ (vte...@wizards.com) V:TES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.

I don't think so - I couldn't even get to US Gen*Con, so I doubt if there'll be enough funds to get me to UK Gen*Con, sorry. [ quoted text not captured ]
