Miriam Benyona versus Lord of Serenity
Raynor
By searching Google Newsgroups I have come upon the ruling of rescuing
Mitchell the Headhunter with Sense Vitality cost one blood, so I think
that Lord of Serenity costs Miriam Benyona one less is for sure.
But does it cost her two less, because he rescues two vampires?
Miriam Benyona
Independent: Rescuing a vampire from torpor costs Miriam 1 less blood.
During your untap phase, you may move 1 blood from Miriam to any ready
vampire. Scarce.
Lord of Serenity
+1 stealth action.
[for] Rescue up to two vampires from torpor. Any ready vampire may
attempt to block this action.
[obe] Put this card on the acting vampire. During your untap phase,
this vampire gains 1 blood. Any vampire may burn this card as a (D)
action.
[OBE] As [obe] above, but this vampire gains 2 blood.

Lord of Serenity costs zero, so the question of whether the final cost
is -1 or -2 is mostly moot, as she would end up paying zero anyhow.
But for the cases when the action's cost is increased by two (or
more), it matters, so:
Miriam reduces the cost of a rescue action by one, regardless of the
number of vampires rescued.

Errm, all the Lord of Serenity cards I have are printed with a cost of
3 blood. The text quoted above is missing the cost.

So the 3-blood-costing Lord of Serenity at outferior fortitude would cost
2 blood, I presume.

The OP posted card text as zero cost, hence the reply, I guess.

Oh, wait, you mentioned that already. Maybe I should actually read
beyond the first period next time.

Well, then. The answer is applicable in many more cases. :-)
Thanks for the addendum.

True fact.
