I have a question regarding Contested Minions.
Scenerio:
Player A has a minion equiped
with a Sport Bike and with a Thaumaturgy Master Skill card on him, and Player
B brings out the same minion contesting this minion.
Player A decides that he can't afford to pay the blood price of
the contested card so he burns him.
Question:
Does player be gain control of the minion with the equipment and
the skill card, or just the minion? THe way I interpret it, B gets
the minion, equip, and skill.
Second Scenerio (actually this has nothing to do with contested cards):
Player A and player B each has 1 untapped Vampire.
Player A uses Wynn to attack player B's minion as a directed action.
Player B chooses not to block.
Combat ensues, and both Vampire do damage. There are no presses
so the combat ends.
Question:
Is player B's vampire tapped as a result of this combat?
Which brings to mind Third Scenerio:
Player A has 2 untapped Vampires (Wynn and Duck)
Player B has 2 untapped Vampires (Didi and Brazil)
Player A uses Wynn to attack player B's minion (Brazil) as a directed action.
Player B chooses not to block.
Player A uses Mask of a 1,000 faces and suddenly declares that it was really
Duck who was making the attack.
Question:
Is this legal? Normally Duck can't take this action only Wynn can.
Thanks,
Brian

No. In the rules, the ways that minions are tapped are:
(1) attempting to perform an action
(2) successfully blocking
(3) card effects
None of the above cover this situation, so player B's vampire is not
tapped. If player B for some reason wanted to tap that vampire, he
could if he could successfully block the action of player A's vampire.
Combat would still occur, of course. (There are limited cases where
this might be advantageous.)

Sure. Mask of 1000 faces says nothing about whether the minion
replacing the previously acting minion has to be a minion which could
have legally initiated the action in the first place, so don't worry
about it. Just read the card.

When player A releases his card, all equipment and retainers on that
card gets burned as well. It does not simply convert over to the
other minion (section 8).

No. Combat doesn't tap a vampire; blocking (or acting) does.

Can you quote the Mask's text for me? (No, I don't have all the
card texts yet...) I think I'll skip even making a guess as to
the Mask's text...
