mata hari ability

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad (More info?)

How does mata hari's ability work? Does her ability allow her to only
meet the requirements of the card (to play the card) or to consider
herself of the required attribute for card text as the card is played
only or as it is played and thereafter?

For example: If it only allows her to meet the requirements of the card
to play the card but not consider herself of that attribute for text
....

you could play and use ventrue headquarters
you could not play and be considered a ventrue during ventrue justicar
you could not play and use the art of pain

If it allows her to meet the requirement of the card and have the
required attribute for card text as played (but not thereafter) ...

you could play and use ventrue headquarters
you could play and be considered a ventrue during ventrue justicar
you could not play and use the art of pain

If it allows her to meet the requirement of the card and have the
required attribute for card text as it is played and thereafter ...

you could play and use ventrue headquarters
you could play and be considered a ventrue during ventrue justicar
you could play and use the art of pain

Is this at all clear?

I assume its ruled just like playing cards as if one was a vampire. I
think its your second option

She could use it. It is only "this vampire" for the in-play effect.

I thought it was this toreador-anti gets +2 strength in combat

Per the website:

The Art of Pain [Sabbat:R, SW:R]
Cardtype: Master
Clan: Toreador antitribu
Cost: 2 pool
Unique master.
Put this card on a ready Toreador antitribu. The vampire with this card
gets +2 strength during combat.

All abilities that allow any minion to play a card that requires something
which the minion lacks as "as if this minion has/is that required something
(but only for the purposes of playing the card)".

This one is correct. (Snip other two)

> you could play and use ventrue headquarters
> you could play and be considered a ventrue during ventrue justicar


Note that after being named Ventrue Justicar, the title would
immeditely fall inert until such time as she changes clan and
sect to become a Camarilla Ventrue.

> you could not play and use the art of pain


She could use it. It is only "this vampire" for the in-play effect.

So you would say that she can play the card, as if she were of the
required clan, but the card cannot be played on herself because the
card text (and not the requirement) states that it must be placed on a
!Tor and she is ravnos???

Wha?? Art of Pain says "Put this card on a ready Toreador Antitribu".
She isn't one. I assumed her ability just allowed her to get around
requirements for putting the card into play from your hand, e.g. the
requirement on Ventrue Headquarters, not for being a vampire of type X
when playing a card that says "put this card on a X".

While Art of Pain just states "this vampire gets +2 strength during
combat", not "this Toreador Antitribu", I can't see how the card could
end up on Mata Hari.

If I'm wrong and Art of Pain (and a bunch of other similar cards) can
be played on her, then she's even stronger than I initially thought.

Exactly. She gets around the requirements for putting the card into play.
In order to put the Art of Pain into play, it has to believe that she is
Toreador Antitribu. So you can put it on her.

No. I say that her controller plays the card as if she is a Toreador
antitribu (since the card requires a Toreador antitribu), and so the
play of the card considers her a Toreador antitribu, so it can be
played on her.

Once it is on her, she gets the benefit, since the benefit is not
keyed to "This Toreador antitribu" (something for which she no
longer qualifies), but rather "This vampire" (and she is a vampire).

Only to gain a blood (which would then roll off, unless you've done some sort
of Tomb trick). The in-play stuff says "This Giovanni".
