Carmine bugged?

TonyVasiento

It's because it says "May" it would be different if it said it "Must" or "can only" be played on your first turn (stellar crown fan rotom is a good example).

You can play carmine at any point in a game as if it was a regular supporter, but it can also be played on the first turn.

Hope this helps!!

Thanks @Jadite! I didn't consider the no Supporters on the first turn rule.
