Malkavian Dementia has been ruled as an exception; the justification given is that it wears off "at the beginning of your next untap phase," which has been ruled as 'before anything untaps.' this ruling is under contention by the net.camarilla. > 4) When they say that Bum's Rush does not tap the vampire it was > directed at, they mean that it will be tapped if combat ensues > with that vampire. right?

Mariel - Lady Thunder) tap vampires, but the mere act of entering combat does not. Exempli gratia: Justine - Elder of Dallas, who does not tap to block vampires of capacity 3 or less. If she did not tap to block, but tapped to enter combat, her ability would be virtually useless, would it not? in short, Bum's Rush does not tap its victim. heckler -- is this blood on my hands all for you? candlebox

1) In the jyhad faq it says that torpored vampires can be targeted by Minion tap and Gird Minion, yet a WOTC rep told me that vampires in torpor can not be targeted unless the card specifies 'vampires in torpor'. Are these the only 2 exceptions?? 2) If you Sudden Reverse a Giant;s Blood can someone else still play it and get its effects?? 3) In the rules it says untapping always happens before effects happen during yyour untap phase. Are you saying that Malkavian Dementia is different?? You give the vampire back tapped if it was at the start of your turn? 4) When they say that Bum's Rush does not tap the vampire it was directed at, they mean that it will be tapped if combat ensues with that vampire. right? Because I use my Muddled fror the sole purpose of tapping vampires by going into combat with them. Unless of course it is blocked then the blocking vampire becomes tapped and combat ensues. BTW I've been playing Jyhad since its inception and loving it! We play every Sunday RELIGIOUSLY. Please dont change the artwork or remove cards that 2% of the people who see it find offensive. Just make it easier to understand! These weekly arguments are driving me BATTY! (sorry)

You lse control of the Malk before your untap phase begins, so you don't untap it since you don't control it. > > 4) When they say that Bum's Rush does not tap the vampire it was > directed at, they mean that it will be tapped if combat ensues > with that vampire. right?

No. Two things tap a minion: acting and blocking. That's it. -- ----- L. Scott Johnson (lsc...@crl.com) Graphics Specialist and Jyhad Rulemonger

It's not an exception - you can't untap any other card you don't control, so why allow you to untap a Malkavian you recently controlled, but no longer control? [ quoted text not captured ]

No, even when SRd, GB is considered played and the next one has no effect. > 3) In the rules it says untapping always happens before effects > happen during yyour untap phase. Are you saying that Malkavian > Dementia is different?? You give the vampire back tapped if it > was at the start of your turn? Yes, officially MD is an exception. The MDd vamp return tapped (if you tapped it). > 4) When they say that Bum's Rush does not tap the vampire it was > directed at, they mean that it will be tapped if combat ensues > with that vampire. right?

No, being involved in combat does _not_ tap you. Taking an action or successfully blocking an action taps a minion. If you BR an untapped minion, that minion is untapped after the combat is over. [if one of the target Meth's minions blocked your BR, that minion would be tapped] > BTW I've been playing Jyhad since its inception and loving it! We > play every Sunday RELIGIOUSLY.

(sorry) Good for you. Unfortunately, WotC is turning its back on the established players by changing the card backs. Nil carborundum illigitimi, James R.

Better to say that combat does not in and of itself tap a minion, and the tapped/untapped status of a minion is not changed by combat. There are other card and special effects that tap a minion, and it's a little safer to just say that combat doesn't affect the minion's tapping status. | If you've got a hot lead on a new | *--Joe--* | PC game, call the announce line at | js...@vt.edu | ** csi...@discus.ise.vt.edu ** | +-------------------------------------+---------------------------------- "Carnivores, oy!" -- Timon, TLK

No. Combat does not tap a vampire. BTW, how do you manage to do that? Unless you always play a Dodge, it seems that either the opposing vampire is torporized, or your MVH will be killed ... -- "Live Life with Heart." Alan Kwan kw...@cs.cornell.edu

Master cards may interact normally with vampires in torpor, unless of course the card specifies a ready vampire. Also, vampires in torpor may not enter combat, so a Haven Uncovered would be useless while its target was in torpor. However, cards cannot interact with uncontrolled vampires unless they specifically say so. Tom Wylie rec.games.trading-cards.* Network Representative for aa...@cats.ucsc.edu Wizards of the Coast, Inc.
