There is no reson it would, if it could rush without a !tremere around then it wouldn't be a slave.

Tupdog's card text provides an additional
action that he can take, when he can take a action - much like a cardless bleed action, a cardless diablerie action, the action to mess with Powerbase: Chicago, or Bum's Rush. When Tupdog is able to take a action, he can pick from any of those actions - including the extra one from his card text.Until he has a master vampire out, however, he can't take a
action at all. Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.

Definition of Slave trait.
Rulebook wrote: Slave: Some minions are identified as slaves to a specified clan. A slave cannot take a directed action if his controller doesn't control a ready member of the specified clan. Also, if a member of the specified clan controlled by the same Methuselah is blocked, the controller can tap the slave to cancel the combat and to untap the acting vampire and have the slave enter combat with the blocking minion instead.
When you are anvil, be patient; when a hammer, strike.

Correct. When a effect overrides a rule, it doesn't extend beyond the scope of that effect.jamesatzephyr wrote:

"Tupdog may enter combat with any minion as a
action" isn't the same as "Tupdog may enter combat with any minion as a action and can take actions ignoring its slave status".So basically,
1/ he can enter combat as a
action2/ he can't take
actions while there isn't a ready !Tremere.As always, the "can't" part take precedence over the "can" part.
Here's another example for this: Tupdog can enter combat with A + A has a Secure Haven (can't take
actions against him) = Tupdog can't enter combat with A.

This is also true for Walker Grimes: "Master cards that target Walker cost you an additional pool."Ankha wrote: Correct. When a effect overrides a rule, it doesn't extend beyond the scope of that effect.
Since only the player who plays a card pays the cost of it (unless explicit card text such as a Ravnos Cache), the controller of Walker doesn't pay when other players play a master card on him. "cost you" is the key part. Walker's effect doesn't allow players to pay cards played by other players.
