hi it's my turn i have the edge and control a ready tapped Torvus Bloodbeard i have already use his special ability to untap him once i plan to use his special ability during my prey's minion phase but i'm afraid of him being ambushed so i want to do this really early so my question is "do i have a special time window before anyone's minion phase to use this special ability ?" so what is the correct answer a/ whatever happens i can always use this ability at the very beginning of a minion phase and nobody will never ambush me HAHAHAHAHA ! b/ if my prey's first action is to ambush Torvus i'm completely fucked it's too late c/ if my prey's first action is not(ambush Torvus) i can use the special ability to save him and laugh at my prey's poor choice of course this applies to any other action that requires a tapped minion as a target Torvus Bloodbeard [Anarchs:U2] Clan: Gangrel Group: 3 Capacity: 9 Discipline: pot ANI FOR OBF PRO Independent: During any Methuselah's minion phase, you may burn the Edge to untap Torvus. +1 strength.

So once your prey has finished with his master and before he can declare any action, you can untap torvus. So no ambush, Karsh or other rush the tapped guy stuff since Torvus is untapped at the beginning of your preys minion phase. voila =)

No. The ability can only be used during a minion phase, not before a minion phase. > so what is the correct answer > > a/ whatever happens i can always use this ability at the very beginning of a > minion phase and nobody will never ambush me HAHAHAHAHA ! This is correct. Everyone gets to do the "between action" stuff before moving on to the next (first) action. > b/ if my prey's first action is to ambush Torvus i'm completely fucked it's > too late > c/ if my prey's first action is not(ambush Torvus) i can use the special > ability to save him and laugh at my prey's poor choice Also note: d/ if your prey's first action is to ambush Torvus, you can burn the Edge to untap him, making him an illegal target for Ambush and thus causing Ambush to fizzle at resolution. > of course this applies to any other action that requires a tapped minion as > a target Correct. > Torvus Bloodbeard [Anarchs:U2] > Independent: During any Methuselah's minion phase, you may burn the Edge to > untap Torvus. +1 strength. > > Ambush [Sabbat:C, SW:C/PB5/PL, FN:PA3, Anarchs:PAG2] > (D) Enter combat with a ready tapped minion controlled by another > Methuselah.
