Just to check if I'm following the contest rules: My opponent plays Pentex Subversion on me. In my turn, I pay 2 and play Pentex subversion on one of his vamps. Both PS cards are inverted and immediately cease to have any affect (nor can they be removed). I can then freely act with my once-subverted minion. At the start of my opponent's turn, he pays one to continue the contest. If he doesn't, the PS immediately comes into effect on him. In either case, all blood lost for the contest comes from pool. According to the rules, contested cards are considered out-of-play until it is resolved and are placed face down. So what happens then if someone else goes ahead and plays a third copy of a unique card? My take would be that it is considered uncontested until one or the other cards come back into play through one or the other resigning the first contest...and then immediately becomes contested.

Actually, if he yields his PS (the on on your vamp), yours (the one on his vamp) won't come back into play until your untap phase. >According to the rules, contested cards are considered out-of-play until >it is resolved and are placed face down.

Contested cards are out-of-play except with respect to being contested. A third copy will immediately join them in the limbo of contesting. -- L.
