Temptation + Corruption

[ira...@gmail.com]

Hello LSJ,

This might have been answered before, but I couldn't find it.

I have a Temptation with 1 counter on a 1-capacity vampire, say,
Franciscus, controlled by my prey. Then, I attempt to Corrupt
Franciscus, and he attempts to block with +1 intercept. At that
point, I can burn the Temptation counter to take control of Franciscus
and make the block fail. If I did that, would the action then fizzle,
because Franciscus is no longer controlled by my prey? I think the
answer is, "Yes, the action would fizzle," but I wanted to double
check.

Thank you,
Ira

I meant to include card text.

Name: Corruption
[AH:C2, FN:PS4]
Cardtype: Action
Clan: Follower of Set
+1 stealth action.
(D) Put a corruption counter on a minion controlled by your prey. If
the number of your corruption counters on the minion equals or exceeds
the blood capacity of that vampire or the cost of that ally, you may
burn all of your corruption counters on that minion to gain control of
him or her.

Name: Temptation
[AH:R2, FN:PS, KMW:PB, LotN:PS3]
Cardtype: Action
Cost: 1 blood
Discipline: Serpentis
[ser] (D) Put this card on a ready vampire; you still control this
card. During your master phase, you may put a counter on this card.
During your minion phase, if the number of counters on this card
equals or exceeds the amount of blood on this vampire, you may burn
the counters to untap this vampire and take control of him or her
until the end of the turn.
[SER] As above, and add a counter when you play this card.

Not at that point. It would fizzle at resolution. Unless it is successfully
blocked before then.
