Fame II

Another Goody: How to get rid of Fame

Minion A is famous (some "gift" from another Methusalah)

Player A who controls Minion A plays a second Fame on Minion A, thus
contesting it.

Who pays pool for contesting, and if Player A is supposed to control
both copies of Fame, is it possible to yield BOTH copies during his
untap phase?

Master cards are always controlled by the methuselah that played them, unless
the card says otherwise (i.e. Curse of Nitocris says "give this card to such
and such methuselah). Minion cards are always controlled by the controller
of the vampire on whom they are played. Thus, a Charnas the Imp is not
controlled by the methuselah who played him (except in odd situations
involving change-of-control).

I think this falls under the rule of Master cards being controlled by
the Meth who played them. The Meth who hit Player A with the original
Fame would be the one to pay for (or choose to yield) contestation for
that copy of Fame. Player A would contest the other copy as normal.
(kindly await official confirmation)

Right. So Player A would pay to contest his copy of the Fame, while the
original player would pay to contest his copy.
