Kaymakli Nightmares

Kaymakli Nightmares

Master.All Methuselahs move any crypt cards in their uncontrolled regions to their crypts. Any blood counters on them are moved to the Methuselah's pool, and any cards on them are burned. Each Methuselah shuffles his or her crypt and then moves as many cards from his or her crypt to his or her uncontrolled region as he or she shuffled in. Only one Kaymakli Nightmares may be played per game.


Does it mean that all players shuffle all their vampires im uncontrolled regions to crypt or they can choose which ones they want to shuffle?

All players shuffle all their vampires in uncontrolled regions to crypt

Poor use of the word "any" in Kaymakli nightmares text. Should say "all".

The reason to use "any" instead of "all" is that the fact of there being crypt cards in a Methuselah's uncontrolled region and there being blood counters or cards on a crypt card is not known nor a certainty.
"any" is being correctly used as per the English language and depending on the context, it may mean just one, or it could mean more than one i.e. some or all.

"any" and "all" are at times interchangeable and in the case of the card text of Kaymakli Nightmares it wouldn´t change the meaning.

Be that as it may, it does create confusion considering that cards like Great Symposium at times used the wording "any" in the sense of "any one". Even though it is permitted, one should strive to keep words and sentences with a unique meaning in cardgames.

Which is exactly why it shouldn't be used here. It introduces uncertainty, while ALL minions in the uncontrolled region are affected by the card.
