[LSJ]Stupid question about Second Tradition

[Ector]

If player A declared bleed, player B (his prey) refused to block, then
player A plays Conditioning to increase bleed, can player B play
Second Tradition: Domain to untap his Prince and deflect bleed to
another player or not? Second Tradition states that the minion must
attempt to block.

Thanks in advance,
Ector

He can't play 2nd after declining to block, no.

As far as I am aware, you need to attempt to block with 2nd Tradition. If
you fail to block, you can still Deflect, however. So play the 2nd, try and
block, and when they stealth past you, play the Deflection.

Correct. Second Tradition requires the minion to attempt to block.
If the minion cannot (because of a previous decision not to block,
Memories of Mortality, Seduction, or whatever), then the minion
cannot play Second Tradition (or anything else that requires a
block attempt).
