This means that when you decide to resolve this effect, you consider the minions in play at that moment.

During your unlock phase, move 1 counter from your pool to this card. During each other Methuselah's unlock phase, for each counter on this card, that Methuselah burns 1 pool or burns 1 blood from a vampire they control. Vampires can burn this card as a action. > > Name: Constant Revolution > [TR:R, V5A:PG2, V5C:PTz1] > Cardtype: Action > +1 stealth action. Requires an Anarch. Unique. > Put this card in play with 1 counter. During your unlock phase, add 1 counter to this card. During each other Methuselah's unlock phase, that Methuselah burns X pool and/or cards at random from their hand, where X is the number of counters on this card. Vampires can burn this card as a action that costs 1 pool. > I put Ankha's previous reversal here www.vekn.net/forum/rules-questions/79080-nightmares-upon-nightmares?start=6#113567 behind spoiler to allow people to digest it if they wish.
