Lextalionis

[Scott Halvorson]

I need some clarification on this card. Must this vote be called on a
turn immediately after an opponent ousts his prey, or can it be called
*any* time after an opponent has ousted his prey? For example, if my
prey ousts his prey, and ten turns later I draw a Lextalionis card, can
I then play it to tap my prey's minions (assuming nobody else has been
ousted since my grandprey), or has the window of opportunity passed nine
turns ago?

It is not played after an opponent ousts his prey. It is played after an
opponent (actually *any* Methuselah, though I cannot think why one would
call it on oneself) receives a victory point. It is possible to oust
one's prey without receiving a victory point, or receive a victory point
without ousting one's prey...so the distinction could matter.

Only if the "ten turns" later have been all *other* Methuselah's turns.
If you have had a turn (other than the current one) since the victory
point was received, then you cannot play the card.

If it is ten turns later, and you have skipped all your turns due to
multiple 1st traditions, you can still play the card.

"Choose a Methuselah who has received a victory point since your
last turn...."
