Pool-paying Q

If a single master card (or, I suppose, other) "event" both costs you and gains you pool, will you be ousted if the cost would bring you to 0 pool? eg: You're at one pool. You play Minion Tap for 5 on a vampire you control, who has Secure Haven on him. So, it costs 1 additional pool (=1) to play the Minion Tap, but you'll gain pool in the same "event". Do you live? I'd think yes, by analogy to Ancient Influence, which makes everyone lose 5 pool as well as gain X pool, but I'm not sure. What about Huitzilopochtli's ability? If you pay your last pool to gain an additional master phase action, do you get to play that master card before being ousted (thus allowing you to gain pool for a Minion Tap) or will it be too late? I think in this case it's too late, since it looks like Huitzilopochtli's ability gains you a master phase action "to be used later", so it's not all one "event". thanks, Josh too much huitzi

For instance, you could play hypothetical card Big Ascendance - Master - 35 pool - Gain 40 pool if you had only 35 pool (and stay in the game). > eg: You're at one pool.

Correct, it's "too late". -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc. Links to V:TES news, rules, cards, utilities, and tournament calendar: http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/
