[LSJ][Ruling] Enkil Cog

Greetings Everyone, I have a question regarding the Enkil Cog since I have seen two ways of playing it. I believe one of them is false ; here it goes : Enkil Cog Type: Action Modifier Requires: capacity 10 Requires a vampire of capacity 10 or more. Unique. Only usable when this vampire successfully bleeds your prey (play after resolution). Put this card on this vampire. During any Methuselah's minion phase, this vampire may tap this card to attempt an action. This vampire has +1 bleed. May the vampire with Enkil Cog play an action by tapping the Enkil Cog if he (the vampire) is already tapped ? I think that the vampire must be "legally" allowed to perform an action (meaning : being untapped) if he wants to act during another minion phase by tapping the Enkil Cog, but I saw players doing otherwise (meaning : act with a vampire already tapped by tapping the Enkil Cog) Which one is right ? Best, -- SeB / Enkahel

If the action can be taken by a tapped vampire (e.g., Force of Will), yes. Otherwise, no. > I think that the vampire must be "legally" allowed to perform an > action (meaning : being untapped) if he wants to act during another > minion phase by tapping the Enkil Cog Correct. The vampire must meet the requirements of the action. If it requires Dominate, he must have Dominate. If it requires an untapped vampire, he must be untapped.

I honestly think this is 3/4 of the reason why this card sells for such mind-boggling amounts on Ebay. Folks just don't know how it works. I mean it's good, but US$35 good? Naaaah. jase

[ quoted text not captured ] Is any card worth that much? Maybe I just value my $$ too much.? --> J grail_pbem "at" hotmail.com http://www.geocities.com/grail_j
