file British Museum and Locquipment Cost

02 Aug 2025 23:16 #115111 by the1andonlime
If I have British Museum in play and Dominique (ADV) has Palatial Estate, can I burn Palatial Estate for 1 or 2 pool with her ability?

British Museum says "equipment cards" are reduced not "equipment", and since a locquipment is still an equipment card (otherwise Marie Faucigny's ability would not work on it - it does), would the rulings on ongoing reduction effects apply?

Relevant ruling: groups.google.com/g/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/c/XpZ6F53jK-c/m/EQWCLO72MbsJhttps://groups.google.com/g/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/c/XpZ6F53jK-c/m/EQWCLO72MbsJ

Card Texts:
British Museum


Palatial Estate

... Palatial Estate (and locquipment in general) is equipment in hand or library or
ash heap, is both equipment and location when played (and paid), and is just
location while in play. ...


Per cardtext when compared to say, Therbold Realty nothing in the British Museum reduces location costs while they are in play. So Dominique ADV per cardtext sees during their unlock Palatial estate as location that has cost of two.

Advanced, Sabbat: During your unlock phase, you may burn a location you control to gain X pool, where X is the cost of that location.

Cardtype: Master
Master: unique location.
Locations cost you 1 less blood or pool.
Artist: Becky Jollensten

Oh and Dominique non advanced with vandal counters has this ruling to confirm that blood costs are costs, just to shoot down any possible thought that only pol costs return pool pool. Cost is cost until more accurately defined and for Dominique it's part of the card's design intent.

...Dominique, on the other hand, says nothing about the Methuselah's
cost, just the cost. Palatial Estate would require 2 vandal counters
to burn. ...

Sabbat: As a (D) action, Dominique may put a vandal counter on a location. If a location has a number of vandal counters equal to its cost (or 1 vandal counter if it has no cost), burn it.

The point here is not about equipment or locations but "equipment card", which are distinct from "equipment" or "location"

Even the card text of most locquipments say "this equipment card counts as a location while in play and not an equipment's, meaning while it is not an "equipment" while in play, it is still an "equipment card"
BM does not reduce the cost of "equipment" but of "equipment card"
