Taste of Vitae

[NaNu Gurthu]

i'd like to know if this card can be used by an ally, also if the text says
"this vampire etc etc.." ...a large use of these cards with high damage
allyes (like akhenaten or similars) could be effective in a rush deck i
think.. thnks!

No. "This vampire" means that it cannot be used by an ally.

i have thinked so too, but the fact is i have asked that because in the
questions section on the whitewolf page, about the "Soul Stealing"
(necromancy) card,it is said that can be used also by an ally to replenish
is life (at basic effect for an ally capable of basic necro actions like
some mummies), but also in this card it is written "This vampire gains an
amount of blood etc etc.." !!!!
can you explain me this fact please? thnks! if soul stealing is really
playable by an ally, i think taste of vitae can be played too....or i think
wrong?thnks!

oh sorry, i have read now the text on my akhenaten card...."akhenaten may
play cards of basic necromancy LIKE A VAMPIRE with capacity of 3" .
sorry for the mistake, bye :((

If an ally could play Taste of Vitae as a vampire, then he would
get the effect as a vampire. There are no such allies.

There are a few allies that can play Soul Stealing "as a vampire",
however. They are treated as a vampire would be for that effect
when they play it "as a vampire".
