Q Bestial Vengeance

[floppyzedolfin]

There we go:

Minion A (acting) is in combat with minion B (reacting).

1 / Minion A has a Tasha Morgan, and has played a Bestial Vengeance,
choosing Tasha Morgan.
Range is long, A's strike is to strike with his .44 Magnum. B's strike
is Theft of Vitae, targetting Tasha Morgan.
Can A order his "during strike resolution" effects, in order to have
Bestial Vengeance inflict B damage (without handling the damage yet)
before Tasha Morgan burns due to B's Theft of Vitae?
Can A order thing the other way around : Theft resolves before Bestial
Vengeance ? (perhaps A played Bestial Vengeance expecting B to play
Weather Control, and A didn't want to hurt B that much)

2/ Minion B has a Mr. Winthrop, and has played a Bestial Vengeance,
choosing Mr. Winthrop.
Range is long, A's strike is a Theft of Vitae on Mr. Winthrop, B's
strike is to shoot with his .44 Magnum.
Can A have the Theft of Vitae resolve before B gets to trigger Bestial
Vengeance?
Can A have the Theft of Vitae not resolve before B gets to trigger
Bestial Vengeance? (say A is at full-cap in blood)

I think A can order his (and only his) "during strike resolution"
effects, and cannot skip one before B gets to trigger his, as it goes
for the "during untap phase" effects : see
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/msg/f8efe8a155a9cc3a
. So answers should be
1 / Yes. No.
2 / Yes. No.
But I just felt like it could be worth checking it :)

Thanks

Bestial Vengeance
Cardtype: Combat
Discipline: Animalism
Requires a Laibon.
[ani] Only usable before range is determined. Choose a retainer on
this Laibon. This combat, this Laibon is immune to frenzy cards and
the opposing minion takes 1 damage during strike resolution if the
retainer is ready. A vampire can play only one Bestial Vengeance each
combat.
[ANI] As above, but for 2 damage.

There's nothing to order. Strike resolution is simultaneous.

Apply strike resolution effects:

* .44 applies 2 damage to B
* Theft of Vitae moves 1 blood (life) from Tasha Morgan to B
* Bestial Vengeance applies 1 damage to B.

(All simultaneous)

Then (after any excess blood drains off) handle the damage applied:
B burns 3 blood to heal three damage.

Same: simultaneous.
