If Rex, the Necronomist (combat cards cost an additional blood)
has the Ankara Citadel (blood costs are halved), which could happen
via Clan Impersonation or Disputed Territory or some such, are costs:

1) halved then cost an additional blood (so he still pays 2 blood
for Wolf Claws and 1 for Immortal Grapple) or
2) cost an additional blood then halved (so he pays 0 for Immortal
Grapple and 1 for Wolf Claws)

On a similar note, what happens if Rex is up against Watenda? Rex plays Claws
of the Dead, so if Watenda wants to use his special, is the "cost" 1 (what
Claws normally is) or 2 (what Rex has to pay for it).

How about Watenda vs. someone with Ankara? Does the cost reducing effect of
Ankara actually help Watenda?

And if the opposing vampire uses Inner Essence (which reduces cost), this also
helps Watenda? Similar situation with some card (can't think of the name) that
causes the opponent to pay additional blood for strike cards?

Akara says that the vampire pays only half the cost.
So first, you find out what the cost is: add one for Rex.
Then Rex pays half the cost.

Rex's card text says that the cost is increased, so the cost is
increased. Watenda has to burn blood equal to the cost.

No, since Ankara doesn't change the cost - it merely allows the
vampire to pay half the cost to play the card.

Yes, since Inner Essense says it "reduces the cost".

Terror Frenzy. Terror Frenzy doesn't increase the cost.
