Question 1: If I make a Corrupt Construction and remove 5 retainers from my hand to give it 5 extra life, can the Vagabond Mystic tap to give it one life if it goes below six? I think not, since it's starting life is really 1, as listed on the card, right? Question 2: If a Corrupt Construction with 5 life (and 5 strength) strikes a vampire, and that vampire plays Theft of Vitae to steal 2, does the Corrupt Construction only do 3 damage? Corrupt Construction, Ally, 1 pool, Vicissitude, C , [Third] Ghoul with 1 life. 0 strength, 0 bleed. [vic] When the Construction enters play, you may remove from the game any number of ally, retainer, or vampire cards from your ash heap or hand. The Construction gains one life for each card removed in that way. The Construction gets +1 strength for each life counter it has. During your untap phase, the Construction burns 1 life. Vagabond Mystic, Ally, U , [SW:U] Unique mortal with 2 life. 0 strength, 0 bleed. Tap Vagabond Mystic to move 1 life counter from the blood bank to an ally you control if that ally has fewer life than his or her starting amount. The Vagabond Mystic cannot block vampires. Theft of Vitae, Combat, Thaumaturgy, C , [Jyhad:C, V:TES:C, Sabbat:C, CE:C/PTr5, BH:PTr5] [tha] Strike: ranged. Steal 1 blood. [THA] Strike: ranged. Steal 2 blood.

Right. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/msg/dc8fb06e032fa710 > Question 2: If a Corrupt Construction with 5 life (and 5 strength) strikes a > vampire, and that vampire plays Theft of Vitae to steal 2, does the Corrupt > Construction only do 3 damage? No (Assuming the strikes are simultaneous -- that the Theft wasn't at first strike and therefore resolved first). [ quoted text not captured ]
