LSJ - Corrupt Construction rules question ?!?!!?

Corrupt Construction Type: Ally Requires: Vicissitude Cost: 1 pool Ghoul with 1 life. 0 strength, 0 bleed. [vic] When the Construction enters play, you may remove from the game any number of ally, retainer, or vampire cards from your ash heap or hand. The Construction gains one life for each card removed in that way. The Construction gets +1 strength for each life counter it has. During your untap phase, the Construction burns 1 life. [VIC] As above, and the Construction has an additional life It's this part I was thinking over. "you may remove from the game any number of ally, retainer, or vampire cards from your ash heap or hand." Ally and Retainer are pretty obvious but I was a little stumped on vampire cards. So when I burn "vampire cards" are these:- a) Vampire Crypt cards already in my ashheap. Or b) Vampire Cards in general, i.e. anything in my ashheap with a green back can be removed? Or c) I completely missed the boat and am reading nothing into something.

IANLSJ, but a combination of A) and C). AFAIK, B) doesn't exist in the game terms at all. It's just a card back. A) because they Vampires in the Ash pile. C) because the boat has sailed out of the harbour on you on this one... :D --> J

Wait, let me channel somebody... > Correct. > Or > > b) Vampire Cards in general, i.e. anything in my ashheap with a green > back can be removed? Nope... According to the rulebook those are call minion cards. 1.6.3. Minion Cards Minion cards are cards that your vampires and allies (collectively referred to as "minions") play. > Or > > c) I completely missed the boat and am reading nothing into something. The first one is right on the button. The second one couldn't even see the boat. =D

I would guess "no way", although your question made me wonder if vampire-creating cards, such as The Embrace, could qualify. I'd still say no, since those only become vampires when in play.

Actually, green backs are Library cards, which can be Minion, Master or Event cards.
