Taking the skin : minion

Reyda wrote:

Is there any options to use the additional bleed action provided by the combat version of Taking the skin : minion during another methuselah's turn ?

Not without anything explicitly allowing it.

Innocuous example, The Ankou with abombwe burns a vampire who just hunted, then plays taking the skin and untaps. Can he bleed now ?

Not unless the Madness Network is in play.

I know it sounds twisted, but the card text clearly says I can bleed *this* turn. Even if does not mention other methuselah, semantically it sounds ok to act the turn Taking the skin is played. Sounds like a nice discovery, but i'll let you crush my dream with funky explanations

It reads you may bleed this turn indeed. However, Powerbase: Montreal reads "Any vampire may steal this location for his or her controller as a action." , which doesn't allow out-of-turn actions.

Also a (maybe stupid?) question: if I diablerize and then play "taking the skin" I can bleed twice with the minion, each time with +1/+1 right? (provided I have a freak drive or similiar to untap in between)

There's no such thing as a "stupid" question
The answer is yes.

I know that this is the wrong forum part and topic for this but I can't help posting a deck that I have had some fun playing, using this very interesting card. Enjoy:

ok I need malk networks for this New Deck )

So, you intend to give protean, then abonwe to the Ankou, and then hope someone hunt ?

... I need to play against this deck.
