Q: The Uncoiling

Does the effect of The Uncoiling is triggered right when you play it (since you play events during your discard phase), or you need to wait until next turn to start burning events? Thanks guys

Name: The Uncoiling Cardtype: Event Event. Do not replace as long as this card is in play. During your discard phase, burn one other event at random. Any other Methuselah may use a discard phase action and burn X pool to burn this card, where X is the number of other events in play. Just like Blood Doll, the Uncoiling is usable the turn it is played. Name: Blood Doll Cardtype: Master Master. Put this card on a vampire you control. During his or her master phase, this vampire's controller may move 1 blood from this vampire to his or her pool or from his or her pool to this vampire.

Cool, thanks Pascal

Since you play it during your discard phase, you *have* to burn another event. (or am I mistaken on this matter?)

If there's at least one other event in play, you burn one of them.

(Also notice that you don't get the choice of getting the choice with Boll. Getting the choice with Blood Doll is as mandatory as burning another event is with the Uncoiling).

Does it mean that you can't forget to use (or not use) your blood doll ? And the edge ?

You can "forget" to use it ("forget" not being a keyword in vtes, I'd rather say: "you can decide not to use it"). > Timo wrote: > And the edge ? > No, gaining pool for having the Edge during the untap phase is optional (== "you can decide not to gain the pool").
