The following scenario:
Anson, controlled by methuselah Anthony, equips with a .44 magnum.
Methuselah Bram gains control of Anson.
Can Bram's Saulot now play shadow of taint, moving the .44?
(I would guess not, but if so, onto who? I assume, a vampire
controlled by Anthony, who could equip with the .44)
Similarily, but Anson gets this .44 by virtue of a Pier 13?
Similarily, but Anson recruits a retainer?
Similarily, a derange that methuselah Cameron played, moved onto a
vampire controlled by Bram, which Bram then moved onto Anthony's Anson
before gaining control of it?
Similarily, a derange that Bram played, moved onto a vampire (not
Anson) controlled by Anthony, which Anthony then moved onto his Anson
before Bram gained control of it?
Thanks,
Bram
Yes. The .44 was played by Anthony. It is on a vampire in Bram's ready region.

It could be moved to any ready minion (unless that minion is incapable of
holding it, like Beast).

Ah. That's too much bookkeeping, so you don't have to remember whether a given
card in play was "played in the normal fashion." It just has to have been put
into play (bookkeeping of a similar span, but much easier to remember, since
it's obvious).

Similar.

Cameron played it. So any non-Cameron Methuselah may move it from a vampire he
(non-Cameron) controls.

See Derange above. Substitute Bram for Cameron.
Ok, clear. Thanks.
How about, say, in the above example, instead of a .44, Anson has a
Legendary Vampire.
Saulot would like to move it to Dimple, who's also controlled by Bram.
Possible?
Thanks,
Bram
Not unless Dimple has quite a few Discipline cards (or other capacity-increaing
effects). Legendary Vampire cannot be played on vampire of 2 capacity.
I guess I should also mention that Shadow of Taint cannot move Derange to a
Malkavian nor to a Malkavian antitribu.
How about moving the legendary vampire from Anson, who has been in
play for several turns, to Bram's Saulot, who only moved into the
ready region last turn?
Apologies,
Bram
Yes, Legendary Vampire could be played on Saulot.
