Lextalionis

I need some clarification on this card. Must this vote be called on a turn immediately after an opponent ousts his prey, or can it be called *any* time after an opponent has ousted his prey? For example, if my prey ousts his prey, and ten turns later I draw a Lextalionis card, can I then play it to tap my prey's minions (assuming nobody else has been ousted since my grandprey), or has the window of opportunity passed nine turns ago?

It is not played after an opponent ousts his prey. It is played after an opponent (actually *any* Methuselah, though I cannot think why one would call it on oneself) receives a victory point. It is possible to oust one's prey without receiving a victory point, or receive a victory point without ousting one's prey...so the distinction could matter. > For example, if my > prey ousts his prey, and ten turns later I draw a Lextalionis card, can > I then play it to tap my prey's minions (assuming nobody else has been > ousted since my grandprey), or has the window of opportunity passed nine > turns ago? Only if the "ten turns" later have been all *other* Methuselah's turns. If you have had a turn (other than the current one) since the victory point was received, then you cannot play the card. If it is ten turns later, and you have skipped all your turns due to multiple 1st traditions, you can still play the card.
