howdy, y'all.
in a recent post, a person was informed that their minion can steal another
methuselah's vampire's retainer, regardless of that retainer's discipline
or clan affiliation. to almost quote, "the discipline (or clan) is only
needed to get the retainer into play, not to make use of it".
loosely following this train of thought, any of my minions can play storm
sewers as long as it's brought into play by my nosferatu. also, the card
text doesn't say that it can only be played by nosferatu (i don't have the
card in front of me so i'm shooting from the hip here). is this correct
play for this card?
cheers.

Yes. Although, technically, the nosferatu don't bring it into play - the
Methuselah does, but needs to control Nos to do it.
You need to control Nos in order to take control of the Storm Sewers, but
(assuming card text doesn't restrict use to Nos), any Minion could later
take an action in the Sewers (by tapping the Sewers when the action is
announced).

This is correct. Note, however, that there are only a few rare
action cards that allow this. There are no cardless actions to move
retainers around.

A master card with a clan symbol on it only requires that you
have a vampire of that card in play when you play it. Once in play, any
of your minions can make use of it (provided they meet any restrictions
on the card). Hunting grounds can be used by vampires of any clan once
in play, and Storm Sewers can be used by any minion. There *are* master
cards that restrict further (Backways is only usable by Gangrel
according to its text), but in general, you are correct, any minion can
make use of a master card once it's in play.
