Please help me on this: 1) When can i PLAY a master card with a clan symbol on it and when can i USE it?? (An example would be useful here) 2) LSJ said that when in range determination phase of combat, combat effect cards may be played by other methuselas also (not participating in combat). If this is true (and i didnot misunderstood it), i wish to read an example on this. Thanks again, and thank you LSJ for previous answers and solutions to my playgroup's problems.

(An example would be useful here) To play one, you must control a ready (controlled, not-in-torpor) vampire of the noted clan. To use one, you merely use it (as restricted by card text, if any). You do not need to maintain control of a ready vampire of that clan, nor is the effect limited to only vampires of that clan (a common misunderstanding of how Hunting Grounds work). > 2) LSJ said that when in range determination phase of combat, combat > effect cards may be played by other methuselas also (not participating > in combat).

That's the only card from the base set that can be played at that time (by a non-participating Methuselah), and probably the only card out of the whole series, to my knowledge. If you need more explanation on whatever it was I had said previously, please provide a reference quote so I can explain what I meant then. -- L.

And even that card has a clan symbol that my ready vamps dont have?? Wow what a shock!! Please LSJ, tell me how Hunting ground works. It seems that my playgroup plays that part completely wrong. Thanks.

If you have managed to gain control of it, yes. Most master cards refer to "you" - which means the controller of the card when the card is in play. : And even that card has a clan symbol that my ready vamps dont have?? : Wow what a shock!! Please LSJ, tell me how Hunting ground works. It : seems that my playgroup plays that part completely wrong. HG - you must have a ready vampire of the given clan under your control during your master phase to play a HG. To play it, you burn two pool and put the HG into play. You now control it. Per card text on the HG, one of your ready vampires gains a blood during your untap phase - this ready vampire can be a member of any clan (or even Caitiff). [ quoted text not captured ]

>Is this mean that i can USE a master phase card (that stays in play) to, >lets say, "feed" my vampires, even this card was brought in play by >another Meth? You've misinterpreted the answer. You must have a ready vampire of that clan to play it, but once you control it in play any vampire you control can use a Hunting Ground. --- Liam Burke "God is Love, Love is blind, I am blind, therefore I am God." -overheard
