Q: Sound of a Breaking Oath

Who is the (temporary) controller of the minion when effect kicks in? Does it differ between aus/dom and AUS/DOM? Thinking of some Tension in the Ranks fun here to punish the would be thief :D Sten During -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

"If an action to steal the minion with this card is successful, this minion is burned instead " The action is successful, but instead of control changing, the minion is burned. So you would take the tension dammage. -John P. Winnipeg

[ quoted text not captured ] Well, the funny thing here, ESPECIALLY with AUS/DOM is that 6.2.3 in the rulesbook has to be followed PRIOR to my playing this card. So, you pay the cost (if any) for stealing my minion and resolve the minion-stealing effect BEFORE I am even allowed to play this card at AUS/DOM. It might even be that the minion is temporarily uncontrolled (your action is successful and I am thus no longer in control of the minion, which allows me to play the reaction-card in some peculiar timing window before you gain control of the minion). Anyway, as you are the acting Meth you would be allowed to play a hypothetical action modifier that forces me to tap-dance if you successfully gain control of one of my minions BEFORE I am allowed to respond with the AUS/DOM effect, because the AUS/DOM effect is neither "played as card is played" nor a Reflex type of card. Or, that is at least how I interpret the rules. I'm quite interested in a definite answer :D [ quoted text not captured ]

[ quoted text not captured ] Control doesn't change. Card text: "instead".
