LSJ: Mictlantecuhtli and Talbots
Raille
[KoT:V]
Cardtype: Vampire
Clan: Gangrel
Group: 5
Capacity: 10
Discipline: pre pro ANI FOR POT THA
Independent: Mictlantecuhtli is immune to damage from weapons. When he
commits diablerie, each of your other ready vampires gains 1 blood
from the blood bank. +1 strength.
Name: Talbot's Chainsaw
[Jyhad:R, VTES:R, CE:R, KoT:R]
Cardtype: Equipment
Cost: 3 pool
Unique weapon.
Strike: 3 damage.
**If bearer is ready during your untap phase, a ready minion you
control takes 3 unpreventable damage.**
Bearer cannot hunt. Bearer may enter combat with a minion controlled
by another Methuselah as a +1 stealth (D) action. Bearer gets a press,
only usable to continue combat on the first round, and may prevent up
to 1 damage each combat.
Everyone has been playing that Mich is immune to damage from Talbots
chainsaw, as I was, but I noticed after a closer look that Talbots
chain saw does not actually inflict any damage during the untap phase,
the damage is more or less for an appropriate term, enviromental.
So the question is:
Is Mictlantecuhtli inmmune to Talbots chain saw's untap damage
effects?

Yes. Talbot's Chainsaw is a weapon.
Damage from Talbot's Chainsaw is damage from a weapon.

So if you have Mic and one other minion, can you "target" Mic in the
untap phase and nobody gets the damage?
Blooded Sand
Yes. This also works if you only have Mic. It does not say other
minion. This trick has been around since the Ferryman was printed
James Coupe
Mic gets the damage, which is then ignored (due to the immunity).
The classic play, from years gone by, is to try to use Ambrosius the
Ferryman for much the same effect.
