Hello, everyone!
I've always been confused with the power of the Toreador Masika.
"Masika can untap between Methuselahs turns".
Does this mean that when a Meth ends his/her turn, Masika may (if
he is tapped), untap? It looks quite powerful to me! (Gunther is good,
but he can only untap once, and pays blood!) What are your
opinions/certainties?

That is correct. It will really annoy your opponents as well. Put him
in a political/bleed deck and watch the fun....

That is correct - Masika can start every turn (of each Methuselah) untapped.
It is powerful, but you pay for it in gaining control of Masika. A Primogen
with three superior skills (Gitane, for example) is only worth 7. You pay
three more to control Masika.

True... but he has +1 bleed also...
But it could be worse... could be Arika :)

That's exactly what it means. Yes, quite powerful indeed :)
Gunther is good, but he is also younger than Masika, at 7 Blood Capacity
as opposed to Masika's 10. The thing with Masika is though his special
ability is potent, he suffers in disciplines. Other Vampires of the same
rank are more versatile, most or the ones I have having at least three
superiors like Masika, but with an additional two or three inferiors.
If you're playing a focussed deck concentrating on certain disciplines,
Masika would be a great addition. Of course, a few discipline cards
could certainly make him very potent indeed. I would certainly pay the
blood to get him out if I had it.
Chris, lover of Tremere, despite having put together a Toreador deck for
the next time he plays.

An argument we had in our group recently came about because Masika
ended up with Tragic Love Afair on him. Does this mean that he doesn't
untap at the beginning of his controlling Methuselah's turn, but
does untap at the beginning of other people's turns?
Any comments appreciated.
