So it is my turn, and my prey has Shalmath, and I have an untapped Salubri with advanced Obeah. If my prey untaps Shalmath during my turn after I have declared I am done, can I immediately play spirit marionette or do I have to wait to see if they will use Shalmath first? Cecil

[ quoted text not captured ] You mean "during my minion phase, after I have passed (declaring no further actions at this time)". Yes, if Shalmath untaps during your minion phase, the impulse returns to you (the acting Methuselah). If he untaps during your influence phase, however, the impulse still returns to you, but your minions would not be able to take an action.

[ quoted text not captured ] You can play Spirit Marionnette at OBE. Or at obe. Untapping Shalmath is using the between-action impulse. The next impulse to declare actions is yours, since it is your turn.

Yeah that's what I meant. Sorry if I was unclear. > > Yes, if Shalmath untaps during your minion phase, the impulse returns > to you (the acting Methuselah). > > If he untaps during your influence phase, however, the impulse still > returns to you, but your minions would not be able to take an action. OK. It probably ultimately wouldn't have made much difference in the game, but it is nice to know. Thanks! Cecil

Sorry if I was unclear. Not at all unclear. I find that such rephrasings can help people reading the answer understand the details better. [ quoted text not captured ]
