[LSJ] Torvus Bloodbeard

[Mochuda]

hi

it's my turn
i have the edge and control a ready tapped Torvus Bloodbeard
i have already use his special ability to untap him once

i plan to use his special ability during my prey's minion phase
but i'm afraid of him being ambushed so i want to do this really early

so my question is "do i have a special time window before anyone's minion
phase to use this special ability ?"

so what is the correct answer

a/ whatever happens i can always use this ability at the very beginning of a
minion phase and nobody will never ambush me HAHAHAHAHA !
b/ if my prey's first action is to ambush Torvus i'm completely fucked it's
too late
c/ if my prey's first action is not(ambush Torvus) i can use the special
ability to save him and laugh at my prey's poor choice

of course this applies to any other action that requires a tapped minion as
a target

Capacity: 9
Discipline: pot ANI FOR OBF PRO

the minion phases starts right after the master phase. So once your prey has
finished with his master and before he can declare any action, you can untap
torvus. So no ambush, Karsh or other rush the tapped guy stuff since Torvus
is untapped at the beginning of your preys minion phase.

voila =)

No. The ability can only be used during a minion phase, not before a
minion phase.

This is correct. Everyone gets to do the "between action" stuff before
moving on to the next (first) action.

Also note:

d/ if your prey's first action is to ambush Torvus, you can burn the Edge
to untap him, making him an illegal target for Ambush and thus causing
Ambush to fizzle at resolution.

Correct.
