Spell of Life Q (Aabbt Kindred + Nefertiti)
rain_cr...@hotmail.com
If Nefertiti is chosen as a vampire for the effects of Spell of Life,
would she allow my Aabbt Kindred to perform D actions?
This is why I think yes:
Aabbt Kindred refer to her by name, so if she is Nefertiti, a 10 life
unique mummy ally, then would that fulfill that requirement?
This is why I think no:
Aabbt Kindred cannot perform D actions unless Nefertiti is READY.. Can
Allies be ready? other than imbued who are incompacitated. Is an ally
either ready or burnt?
Thank you for any help!
I've been thinking about an Aabbt Kindred deck since KMW, with Waters
of Duat.
Now that we have Bima, Mesu Bedshet, and Spell of Life.. I think it
could be very fun.

Yes. Any minion called Nefertiti would do.

Any minion that's in play, not contested, not incapacitated, and not in
torpor is ready.
Minions in the ready region are the ones who take normal actions, like
bleeding, equipping etc.

I'd assume it follows the ruling on Chain of Command: You cannot
choose multiples of the same vampire to bring into play, since you
cannot voluntarily contest your own cards.

You can voluntarily bring in copies of a vampire (minion) you already
control. Incoming copies just burn.

No. You can voluntarily transfer pool onto vampires you already
control. The rules then force you to put them into play, if it has
sufficient counters on it, which causes it to burn.

Correct.

As witness1 points out, no you can't.
Example: a vampire you control has been burned. You influence another
copy out. Looking at your hand in a tough situation later, you think
"Hey, I'll play Possession on that vampire in my ash heap, they'll come
into play and burn as an incoming copy BUT I'll cycle a card out of my
hand and tap The Tower of London to get a pool!"
Can't do it.
Similarly, you can't recruit a second unique ally if you already have
one.
You can have incoming copies of influenced vampires, though, because the
transfers are voluntary but the bringing out isn't.

By that same logic, if I control a 3 and 7 cap, 7 with DOM, and i have
copies of both in my uncontrolled, i cannot target the 3 cap with GtU
at DOM as i am targeting a copy of a minion already in play?

That's using different logic.
Your action does not lead to a contested vampire coming in, so it's
perfectly fine. During your influence phase, assuming you leave the
blood on the vampire, it will come in involuntarily.

Just to be sure: playing Undue Influence at qui (Put 1 blood counter
on the chosen vampire. If the number of counters equals or exceeds his
or her capacity, move that vampire to your ready region.) on a vampire
which would come out and self-contest is illegal, as it would be a
voluntary coming-out as opposed to the common influence-phase-coming-
out.
