Daemonic Possession

Name: Daemonic Possession
[FN:C2, POD:DTC]
Cardtype: Action
Cost: 2 blood
Discipline: Necromancy
[nec] Choose a minion controlled by another Methuselah who has been burned since your last turn. Move the chosen minion from their owner's ash heap to your ready region with 1 blood or life, and lock them.
[NEC] As above, but do not lock the chosen minion.

As far as I know, minions in ash heaps are never controlled. What means that the minion has to be controlled?

Thanks.

This is correctly understood.

The card text is not the best… the wording is because of the “since your last turn.” referring to a past state where “a minion controlled by another Methuselah” is applicable. Read it as per below, hopefully it makes more sense.

“ Choose a minion that was controlled by another Methuselah who has been burned since your last turn. Move the chosen minion from their owner's ash heap to your ready region with 1 blood or life, and lock them.

Thanks a lot, inm8

I was looking to use daemonic possession with vampires burned by Gisela Harden, The Winnower, but I see that combo doesn't work. Neither it does with Yong-Sun, Harmonist.

Yes, in theory this card doesn't even work, cause no such minion as stipulated by its condition can exist. Unfortunately BCP had a policy at some point that they only errata cards that come into print. Since this is necromancy card which won't see reprint (necromancy will be rolled into Oblivion in V5), I have no idea what happens to this.

It should just say "minion card from another methuselah's ash heap".

Correct.

So are we to understand that this card DOES work even though it has had no errata, or that it is always unplayable?
