[Q] The Rack/Banishment

What happens if the vampire chosen for the Rack is banished? Banishment says that all cards on that vampire is out of play, but the rack is not technically on that vampire, right? 1. Can it still be stolen by another methuesalehs minion? 2. Does it continue to give blood to the minion that is uncontrolled? 3. If not, does it effect kick back in when the vampire is transfered out again? The Rack [Jyhad, V:TES] Cardtype: Master Master: unique location. When this card is brought into play or the controller of this card changes, the controller chooses a ready vampire he or she controls. That vampire gains up to 2 blood from the blood bank during each of his or her untap phases as long as his or her controller controls this location. A vampire controlled by another Methuselah can steal this location for his or her controller as a (D) action. /Henrik

I discovered that there is difference in wording on the FN card banishment and the cardtext on the WW site: WW: Banishment [DS, FN] Cardtype: Political action Political Card - Worth 1 Vote. Called by any vampire at +1 stealth. Choose a younger ready vampire. Successful referendum means that the chosen vampire is moved to the uncontrolled region (place him or her face down). The vampire is uncontrolled. The vampire's blood counters, master cards and minion cards stay with that vampire, with any counters they have on them (minion cards are out of play as long as the vampire remains uncontrolled). ^^^^^^^^ FN card: Banishment [DS, FN] Cardtype: Political action Political Card - Worth 1 Vote.

The vampire is uncontrolled.

This would mean that it requires 6 blood transfered to a 5-cap with a skillcard. /Henrik

The effect still applies, yes. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc. Links to revised rulebook, rulings, errata, and tournament rules: http://www.white-wolf.com/vtes/

[ quoted text not captured ] The White Wolf site is incorrect. If the FN printing had been officially changed, the White Wolf site would reflect that by marking the change with the appropriate brackets. As it is, this is just an error. The FN text is correct. [ quoted text not captured ]
