Can a Major Boon be used to suck up pool loss taken from a Major Boon? Basically, is pool loss taken from a Major Boon still considered as loss from a bleed? Example: Meth A bleeds Meth B. Meth C plays Major Boon on B, and takes the bleed. Can Meth D then play another Major Boon on C to take the bleed? Another: Meth C already has a Major Boon on B. D bleeds A, and C then plays another Major Boon. Can C burn the previous Boon and force B to take the bleed for C? John Baker

Yes, but the Methuselah losing the pool is not the Methuselah being bled. > Example: > Meth A bleeds Meth B.

Yes (*), since the loss is still "due to a bleed", as required by card text on Major Boon. (This answer may be "no" if the RT decides that the loss is actually soley from the Boon, not due to the bleed). If the "yes" answer remains official: This would result in player D paying the pool loss for the bleed, which is still directed at B. B will owe a Boon to C; C will owe a Boon to D. > Another: > Meth C already has a Major Boon on B. D bleeds A, and C then plays > another Major Boon. Can C burn the previous Boon and force B to take > the bleed for C? No, because the bleed is not "against C", it is against A. Card text on Major Boon says that you can burn the Boon to collect only on a bleed against you. -- L. Scott Johnson (vte...@regency.wizards.com) Official VtES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.
