question

A blocked Arson action results in combat and the acting minion play superior Form of Mist as his strike. Is the acting player's handsize reduced after this combat ? FC

[ quoted text not captured ] No. After the combat, he replaces the Arson (card text). -- L. Scott Johnson (vte...@wizards.com) VTES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.

My guess would be that your hand size is reduced until the action has completely resolved, especially since FoM states "continue as if unblocked".

(you should have only had 6 cards going into the combat because of Arson) I would say Yes because the card text on Form of Mist says "the action continues as if unblocked". Since the action is still going on, your hand size is still reduced. a0 [ quoted text not captured ]
