Reformation + Weigh the Heart + Temptation
ira...@gmail.com
My prey controls Arika with 1 blood, and I have a Temptation with 1
counter on Arika. I play Reformation at ser to put a corruption
counter on Arika and also play Weigh the Heart at superior as the
action is announced. Before the action is resolved, I burn the
counter on Temptation to take control of Arika.
Several questions:
a) Does the action change from being directed to undirected once I use
the Temptation? I think yes.
b1) If yes to (a), then does my predator have a chance to block if I
used the Temptation while my prey was still considering blocking? I
think yes.
b2) If I use the Temptation after my predator passed on Eagle Sight
blocks but before the action resolved, I think he wouldn't get a new
chance to block, right?
c) If the action resolves unblocked, will it be considered a
successful action (for freak drive)? I think yes.
d) If the action resolves unblocked, will Arika gain a corruption
counter from Reformation? I think yes.
e) If the action resolves unblocked, will one of my prey's minions
gain a corruption counter from Weigh the Heart? I think no, since he's
no longer the target methuselah.
f) If the action resolves unblocked, will one of *my* minions gain a
corruption counter from Weigh the Heart? I'm really not sure, but I'll
guess yes, since Weigh the Heart was legally played as the action was
announced, the action was successful, and I'm now the target
Methuselah.
Thanks,
Ira

Correct.

Of course.

Of course. It doesn't say "controlled by another Methuselah".

Correct.

Good guess.
