To LSJ, about contested card on a burned minion: what happens?
Vinicius Coelho de Almeida
I couldn't find an answer for my question using google.groups. So, here it
is:
A minion that I control has a contested Pentex Subversion; the other
one Pentex Subversion is on one of my prey's minion (say, 'A'). In my
prey's turn, he burned my pentexed minion with another minion (say, 'B').
His minion 'A' was still untapped. What happens with the Pentex on 'A'?
There was no yielding, then section 4.1 (below) would not be applicable,
would it? So, is it contested yet? Is it activated? Out of play, because
there's no minion to put the Pentex on?
Thanks in advance,
Vinícius.
"Pentex(TM) Subversion
Master
Unique master.
Put this card on any ready minion. The minion with this card cannot
take actions and cannot block actions. This card may be burned by any
other minion as a (D) action."
"4.1. Contested Cards
Some of the cards in the game represent unique resources, such as
specific locations, equipment or people. These cards will be
identified as "unique" in their card text. In addition, all crypt
cards represent unique minions. If more than one unique card with the
same name is brought into play, that means control of the card is
being contested. For the duration of the contest, all of the contested
cards are turned face down and are out of play. If another unique card
with the same name is brought into play, it is immediately contested
and turned face down as well.
The cost to contest a card is one pool, which you pay during each of
your untap phases. Instead of paying the cost to contest the card, you
may choose to yield the card. A yielded card is burned. Any cards or
counters stacked on the yielded card are also burned.
If all other cards contesting your unique card are yielded, then the
card is untapped and turned face up during your next untap phase,
ending the contest.
Be careful about putting duplicates of the same unique cards in your
deck. You can't control more than one of the same unique card at a
time, and you cannot contest cards with yourself (if some effect would
force you to contest a card with yourself, then you simply burn the
incoming copy of the unique card). On the other hand, you may wish to
have a second copy handy in case the first is burned. "

It comes back to play during its controller's untap phase.
All other copies (there's 0 of them in play) have been yielded.

Correct.
