Last time, someone in our VteS group played Goodnight, Sweet Prince,
and we had a question about how it worked. I had thought it was a
one-shot card; you pay 2 pool, tap a Ravnos, and munch the top vamp of
your prey's crypt, gaining back your 2 pool if it's a Prince. He said
that GSP stays in play; every master phase, you may tap a Ravnos to burn
a crypt card and maybe gain pool. Tom? Who's right?

The only way the card would be any good is if it stayed on the table and you
could use it over and over. Consider it to be a sort of investment. You pay
2 pool and you hope to earn it back and then some by muching your opponents
crypt. It would be stupid and pointless if you could only use it once so I go
for the interpretation that it stays on the table. It works very slowly and
your prey will use his 4 transfers to get cards off his crypt and into his
uncontrolled region. The card is interesting and not too powerful.

Do some people actually put a card limit on the crypt. I would think that
just logic would put a limit on it. You don't want to put in too many
of the same vampire because if you do, you'll probably end up with
unusable duplicates, and unless you are playing against a seriously nasty
combat deck, vampires don't leave play that often. If there's one
vampire you really like I see nothing wrong with putting in extras, the
disadvantages seem to balance out any advantages.

All master cards that are put into play say to put them into play
(or on something), or are locations. Goodnight doesn't qualify on
either count, so is a one shot.
