> Here the process of tapping (and untapping) is clearly defined. Yes, it is. And it in no way "clearly states" that only untapped cards may be tapped. 2. Important Terms in the Game Tapping and Untapping Cards: The concept of tapping and untapping is a unique feature in Deckmaster games. During the course of play, you tap cards by turning them 90 degrees. This procedure indicates that the card has been activated to perform a particular action and cannot be used again until it is untapped. Untapping a card restores it to its original position; this indicates that the card is reset and can be tapped again to take another action at a later time. Your untapped minions may block, take actions, or play reaction cards. -- L. Scott Johnson (vte...@wizards.com) Official VtES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast. (*) - Subject to review by Rules Team So according to this by tapping a tapped card I get to turn it upside down, tap it three times and its ready for action. A stupid contrived explaination. you cannot tap the tapped. Perhaps I can used by burned vampires to satisfy the Antideluvian awakening too?

The 90 degress isn't additive - it's absolute. You tap cards "by turning them [to] 90 degrees", not "by turning them [by] 90 degrees". This is derived from them sentence that follows, describing what tapping is for (i.e., since the tapping process is not a count but a switch, the procedure is absolute, not cumulative.) > Perhaps I can used by burned vampires to satisfy the > Antideluvian awakening too? You do not control burned vampires, so this is not satisfactory by card text on Antediluvian Awakening. [ quoted text not captured ]
