i put a mark of damnation on a vampire. does the card stay on the vampire
after i'm ousted? normally i'd say yes. but the card can be destroyed with a
d-action (against the controller - me). so if it stays in play how can the
card be destroyed afterwards, i.e. who could block the destruction?

thanks

Mark of Damnation: "(D) Put this card on a vampire controlled by your
prey. ... The affected vampire may burn this card as an action."

When you're ousted, you burn all cards you control at that time.

No: The action to bring the card into play is a (D)-action, so only
your prey can block it, but the action to burn the card is not
directed (card text).

> (against the controller - me).

You are not the controller:

If you put a minion card like Army of Rats in play (but not on a
vampire), you are the controller. And you are the controller of a
master card you play.

But when you play a minion-card (equipment, retainer, Atonement,
MoD...) on a vampire, the controller of the minion card is the
controller of the vampire the card is played on. So your prey is the
controller of MoD.

the action to burn the card is not directed, so prey and predator can
block it.

Actually this brings up a question of mine. For Pentex Subversion,
going on what you just said the D action to destroy it is made against
the person who put it there? so they get a chance to block?

The way some people played it before is that it was against the
controller of the vampire. Thanks

Pentex Subversion, being a master card, is controlled by the Methuselah
who played it (since it has no card text to override that default).

If a minion controlled by someone else takes an action to burn a
Pentex Subversion you control, you may block. Rulebook [6.2.2.1]:

No. Cards you control are burned when you are ousted.

How about stealing? If you steal a discipline card with Ethan Locke or Daintain
Black Magician, it is still controlled by the Methusaleh that played it?

Thus I'm assuming it requires explicit card text (Fragment, Rack, or things
like Disputed Territory and Succubus Club) to actually transfer control?

Thanks!

Stealing implicitly changes control of the card to the new
(stealing) Methuselah.

Implicit text works as well.
