Champion
[Reaction] Only usable when a monster controlled by another Methuselah
is taking a (D) action against you or against an imbued controlled by
any player. The action fails and the acting monster enters combat with
this imbued instead.
I take it that I can order this at any stage before the action is
completed. ie, If being bled, I can decline to block, let the bleed
be pumped up to ungodly ammounts and then cause it to fail with an
Imbued who has the Champion power?
I gather it's much like the Ordering of Archon Investigation.
Is this correct? If I use Champion, and enter combat, because the
action has failed - can the opposing minion continue it with effects
such as Form of Mist, Mirror Image and the like?

Yes.

No. The action has failed. It wasn't blocked. Continuing a failed unblocked
action as if unblocked is simply continuing a failed action -- it fails.
Note that Mirror Image cannot be played at all, due to card text.

Excellent - that's what I thought.

Well in this case, I was talking about any (D) action - not just
bleeds. But that's cool. Best way to shut down big stupid stealth
bleed if ever I saw it! :D

Well in this case, I was talking about Mirror Image's "If this vampire was
blocked" text, not the "other than bleeding" text. The vampire was not blocked,
so the "if" condition is not met.
