Matter of opinion. OoT Masters are still crippled (IMHO) by not being able
to be played on one's own turn.

No difference. Major Boon does not redirect the bleed. The same Methuselah
being bled before MB is played is still being Bled after MB is played. MB
simply allows another Methuselah to *pay* for that bleed, in exchange for
a return of that favor later.
If you can play Deflection after MB, the MB'er will still pay for the
bleed (now taken by a new Methuselah, who now owes the MB'er a favor).
(You may not be able to play the deflection after a MB, depending on how
the RT rules on what "modifiers to the bleed" are).

If you play Deflection, then the Methuselah has not successfully bled you
(although he/she may successfully bleed another Methuselah). Major Boon
should not be played until you have acknowledged that the bleed succeeded
without being blocked or redirected.

1) If I understand the new V:TES rules correctly, if you play a OoT you do
_not_
use your master phase but just one of the actions of it. Which means that you
can still use blood dolls for instance ot that if you have Anson in play or
Rumors of Gehenna you still can play one master during your master phase.
Well, if this is the case, I think it makes OoT cards too powerful;
2) Situation: someone bleeds me succesfully and when I am going to Deflect the
bleed, someone else plays Major Boon and takes the bleed. The point is: who
goes first, the Major Boon or the Deflection? It makes quite a bit of
difference... :)

Perhaps you misunderstood me. If you attempt to bleed me and I don't block
because I'm going to deflect, then some other joker decides to Major Boon
the bleed, I should be able to make him pick up his MB until after I've
played my Deflection. The MB jumped the gun... the bleed was not fully
resolved. He's more than welcome to play his MB on the deflected player,
though.
