LSJ - Harass + 2nd Tradition

[jason...@iinet.net.au]

Prince A is tapped with 6 blood on him.
Minion A attempts to enter combat with Harass.
Prince A untaps and attempts to block the action via 2nd Tradition.

Is the block successful, or does the Harass "fizzle" the moment the
prince untaps and ceases to become an eligible target?

Harass
(D) Enter combat with a vampire who has less than 4 blood or with any
tapped minion. This acting minion gets an optional press, only usable
to continue, in that combat.

Second Tradition
Requires ready Prince or Justicar.
+2 intercept. Also usable by a tapped Prince or Justicar, even if
intercept is not yet needed, to burn a blood to untap and attempt to
block with +2 intercept.

The former.

An action won't fizzle for lack of valid targets until it attempts to resolve
successfully (unblocked).
