Does the sensory depravation remain in game or loses it's effect until
the vampire who played it comes back to the ready region?
AFAIK It loses its effects permanently, because the criterion
for ending the card's effect (the playing minion no longer
remaining in play) is meat with the banishment. So even if
the vampire reenters play, the Sensory won't kick back in.

the sensory dep stays in play. however, it's effect is ended when the
vampire who played it is banished, and does NOT resume when the
vampire returns to play.

Cardtype: Action
Cost: 3 blood

[chi] (D) Burn any retainer or put this card on any ally. The minion
with this card does not untap as normal during the untap phase as long
as the acting vampire remains in play.
[CHI]As above, but put this card on any vampire in play.

In my opinion the thing that should happen is the effect to resume
when the acting vampire enters play again, after being banished. As it
says "as long as".
But of course this is just my opinion...
Same thing if the vampire is burned and returns in play via
Possession.
George
Correct.

I think that in this particular case the key is the
"as long as" + "remain" phrase. Because once you left,
you no longer remain, even if you later come back. If
the card would read "while this vampire is in play",
things would probably be different.

agreed, BUT... from the time he comes back he is "remaining (again) in
play".
Anyway, we can keep arguing, but the truth is that this is one of
these cases, that you can (imo) rule in favor of any of the two cases.
It seems that LSJ chose which case to favor, end of story...
George
No.
"Remain" looks for continuity.
Definition: "Remain: vi. to continue unchanged"
When he comes back, he is in play.
But he has not remained in play (since he ceased being in play for a time).

Card text chose which case, actually.
This isn't a ruling, it's just a clarification. End of story.
The effect only lasts for as long as the vampire remains in play
(card text).
See also "Hands on a Hardbody" -- a group of people (contestants)
begin with their hands on the truck. Each player is in position
to win as long as that player's hand remains on the truck.
ok, got it.
