A new player asked me a wierd question the other day. Does 'The Rack' require the vampire to be ready, or controlled? "Master: unique location. When this card is played or the controller of this card changes, the controller chooses a ready vampire he or she controls. That vampire gains up to 2 blood from the blood bank during each of his or her untap phases as long as his or her controller controls this location. A vampire controlled by another Methuselah can steal this location for his or her controller as a (D) action." Apparently the rack only checks if the vampire if ready an controlled as it is played, and when it is stolen. Sooooo... If I play the rack on uriah winter, and he hits torpor, can he still get the blood? Then, if he get's passed away, he won't get the blood right?(I don't control him and the location, card text) So he gets beat up by my abusive prey, who sends Uriah back to my torpor..he'll get the blood?(he's not ready, but still controlled, but rack isn't checking) Finally, we banish poor Uriah...and he goes into my uncontrolled region does he still get the 2 blood? (he's not ready, OR controlled, but rack still isn't checking, and the rack is it's own location, not specifically on the vampire)

Sooooo... When it is "targetted", yes. > If I play the rack on uriah winter, and he hits torpor, can he still > get the blood?
