Greetings one and all, Being a latecomer to JYHAD I have just acquired my first deck (with some boosters). I have read some 600 posts in this group over 2 days but may have missed these particular questions being answered. My understanding was that if an attempted bleed is blocked then the bleed attempt is voided/replaced by combat, resulting in both Active and Reactive minions being tapped (other cards notwithstanding). 1. If Telepathic Counter is played, not being an action, does it tap the reacting vampire (not minion as Auspex is required) as blocking the bleed attempt would do. 2. With Malkavian Prank and Malkavian Time Auction as Master cards can they only be used if you have Controlled Malkavians. 3. With Al's Army Apparatus can it only be played when Brujah are ready and can only Brujah benefit when you wish to equip them. Magus -- Patric S. Toms Do you feel safe ?

The only things which tap a minion are an attempted action, a successful block, or any card text which specifically states it taps a minion. Combat does not innately tap a minion, nor does the state of it being tapped or untapped affect hte combat in any way. If an action is successfully blocked, the action is canceled with no cost paid, any action cards/equipment/etc. that were used are discarded, and the blocking minion enters combat with the acting minion. : 1. If Telepathic Counter is played, not being an action, does it tap : the reacting vampire (not minion as Auspex is required) as blocking : the bleed attempt would do. Playing a reaction card does not tap the reacting minion ( barring card text to the contrary ), but they need to be untapped to play it. : 2.

With Al's Army Apparatus can it only be played when Brujah are ready : and can only Brujah benefit when you wish to equip them. It can only be played if you control a ready Brujah. Since this card does not effect your minions, I'm not sure I understand your second question, but if it did effect your minions ( say it was a hunting ground ) then any of your minions could benefit from it regardless of clan.

NO reaction card taps the reacting minion unless specifically stated on the card . Note the minion has to be untapped to actually play it though. Telepathic Counter does not require the minion to tap but some cards like Telepathic Misdirection(superior) do . : 2.

With Al's Army Apparatus can it only be played when Brujah are ready : and can only Brujah benefit when you wish to equip them. 2 and 3 - if a card has the little clan symbol on it , the meth playing that card is required to have a ready minion of the appropriate clan. I.e for Al's or the warzonr hunting ground a ready (ie controlled and not in torpor/contested) Brujah is required . For allies which are linked to a clan i THINK that only members of the appropriate clan can employ them - but im not totally sure on this . : Magus : -- : Patric S. Toms Do you feel safe ?

Yes. The acting and blocking minions are tapped. >1.

No. Playing reaction cards does not tap the reacting minion, although the minion must be untapped to play the reaction card in the first place. > >2.
