Q: Melange
Alex Broadhead
Does the bleed modifier associated with Melange at superior work like
the bleed modifier associated with superior Spying Mission? That is,
is using it/burning the Melange contingent on a successful bleed? I
used to think so, but I'm not sure why I did now.
Melange [Sabbat, SW]
Cardtype: Reaction
Discipline: Auspex
[aus] +1 intercept.
[AUS] As above, and if you successfully block the acting minion, put
this card on the acting minion; you still control this card. You may
burn this card to get +1 bleed when this vampire bleeds the controller
of the vampire with this card.
As an example of where it makes a difference, Zoe bleeds my prey,
whose Ozmo I have previously Melanged. My prey announces 'no block',
I burn the Melange for +1 bleed, and my prey then bounces the bleed to
his prey. I'm no longer bleeding the controller of the vampire with
the Melange, but I was when I burned the Melange - does the +1 bleed
still apply? Or could I not burn the Melange until the bleed was
actually successful against Ozmo's controller (which is to say that
after I burn it there is no more opportunity to bounce a la Spying
Mission)?
Thanks,
Alex

No. You burn it to get +bleed just like you would play Threats
(although, of course, you can burn Melange before or after playing
other bleed modifiers, since it is not itself an action modifier).

No. Like Foreshadowing of Destruction, the modifier is conditional.

No.
