[LSJ] Jerry's Ability?

So Jerry, the Blood Brother, has the following ability: Chicago Circle : During your master phase, you may move any amount of blood from the Blood Brothers in the Chicago Circle to any other Blood Brothers in this circle. Sterile. Can Jerry move his blood to an *uncontrolled* Blood Brother of the same circle?

Jerry lacks such card text. 1.6.1.5 of the online rulebook Targets. If a card is played on another card, or selects or chooses or otherwise targets another card, the target card must be in play (i.e., controlled). Vampires in the torpor region are eligible targets by default, but vampires in the uncontrolled region and contested cards are not. http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/rulebook/ Carpe noctem.

It came up in a game yesterday, and it seemed like such a good deal tha it couldn't possibly have been legal, but there is always the possibility that there was some sort of kooky clarification I hadn't seen :-) [ quoted text not captured ]

Jerry's special is highly underrated at first glance; and that's even when you think it's a strong special to begin with. You really have to play with it a few times to appreciate just how good being able to rearrange things as you need for your turn is. -- Derek a host is a host from coast to coast and no one will talk to a host that's close unless the host that isn't close is busy, hung, or dead

Also note that it can be used on Chicago Blood Brothers that you don't control (controlled by other players). Which means if two Chicago BB decks are at the same table, controlling Jerry is crucial (otherwise he can steal all of your blood each turn). Halcyan 2
