A bleeds.
1/ Can B Mask the action (Mask of 1000 Faces) before the block, since AB
isn't an "applied" effect like the effect of Backways would be ?
2/ Can B Mask the action after the block and the pool loss induced by the
Aching Beauty? Is the pool loss considered an applied effect?
thanks,
Stone
Yes.

B cannot mask once the pool loss effect is applied.
Similarly, once a vampire attempts to block an Archon, the Archon's effect
is activated (the vampire pays 1 blood to attempt to block), so the action
cannot be masked away from that archon.

Ooops, that modifies slightly my Handsome Devil deck. If then B also got an
Aching beauty, will blocking minion's controller pay an additional pool?

No. B still cannot Mask the action. B's Aching Beauty is not A's Aching Beauty.
Ok, then, sniff. A cute deck to the bin.
On the same topic, but slightly different
Toreador A dancing with a toreador grand ball (unblockable non-bleeding
actions)
Toreador B with obf
A takes an action. Asks prey and predator if they block, boviously, as they
can't they decline blocking
Can B now play MO1000F to carry on the action? (obviously, B fullfits all
requirements of the Action)
Yes.
Similarly, if Aisling bled a Methuselah whose only ready minion was Blythe,
Nik could mask the action after Blythe's controller declines to block.
Why the new ruling from the rules team on Mask of 1000 Faces?
Uniformity, consistency, logic, intuitiveness, and agreement with the backstory.
You know, this could make a good sig.
do methusaleahs get another chance to block?
> do methusaleahs get another chance to block?
No. The decision not to block is final.
