Q: Orun + Baltimore Purge

[Petri Wessman]

A question that came up in last night's casual game: does Orun's added
+2 capacity work vs Baltimore Purge's "who is not older than this
vampire" clause when it triggers? And if yes, does it count the number
of Orun on the minion at the time BP was played, or at the time it
triggers (during BP player's untap)?

We ruled that it did work, and that the effective capacity depended on
the number of Orun on the minion at the time BP triggers.. but weren't
totally sure.

Orun: Master: trifle.
Put this card on a Laibon. For non-Orun cards played by Methuselahs
other than this Laibon's controller, this Laibon is considered to have
2 additional capacity. A Laibon gets an additional vote for every
three Orun he or she has. If this Laibon successfully bleeds for more
than 2 or successfully performs a (D) action against a non-mortal
minion, he or she burns one Orun. Burn this card if this Laibon has
more Orun and Aye than his or her capacity.

Baltimore Purge: Action
Requires a ready vampire.
If this vampire is Ravnos, this action is at +1 stealth. Put this card
on the acting vampire. During your untap phase, burn this card, and
each other Methuselah chooses a ready vampire he or she controls who
is not older than this vampire. If you control a ready Lasombra, you
choose the vampires instead. This vampire and the chosen vampires go
to torpor.

If BP is playe by another Methuselah, yes.

Triggers.

Correct.
