2 Questions: Torpor & Trap Card

When a vampire enters torpor untapped, does it untap with all other cards in the untap phase? And.... When the trap card is played, it is played that three rounds of combat then take place, and no Methuselah is allowed to play cards on their vampires, or are you allowed to play cards, with three rounds at the end with no cards to be played. I believe that it should be three rounds of combat with no cards allowed whatsoever. Thanks for any replies. Jason G. Reed

Vampires in torpor untap as usual unless card text says otherwise (Wooden Stake). >And.... >When the trap card is played, it is played that three rounds of combat >then take place, and no Methuselah is allowed to play cards on their >vampires, or are you allowed to play cards, with three rounds at the end >with no cards to be played.

In other words, the minion that plays the trap has a press to continue every round until three rounds have passed in which NO ONE has played any cards. One may, of course, still press to end during the press phase of any of these trapped rounds. -James

Vampires may untap in torpor as normal. >When the trap card is played, it is played that three rounds of combat >then take place, and no Methuselah is allowed to play cards on their >vampires, or are you allowed to play cards, with three rounds at the end >with no cards to be played. I believe that it should be three rounds of >combat with no cards allowed whatsoever. When a trap is played, combat automatically has a press to continue for three rounds. However, if any card should be played in the combat then the terms of the trap start again, i.e. Combat automatically has a press to continue for three rounds. In effect this means that with a trap, combat tends to last for a LONG time - usually resulting with one of the minions in torpor. Peter "I'll just say my secret magic word..."
