Spying Mission, Edge question

I'm sure I already know the answer to this, but it's worth asking just to be sure. If I bleed someone and then play Spying Mission at superior, do I still get the Edge? My gut instinct is "no" since there was no pool loss, but the card text on Spying Mission implies that the bleed was successful. Noal -- "Excuse me.

You gut is correct. Card text on Spying Mission implies that the bleed action was successful (read: unblocked), and that you would have been bleeding for 1 or more ("instead of removing pool" implies that you would have been removing pool) - that is, the bleed would have been a "successful bleed" of one or more. But, instead of removing pool (and being a successful bleed), you play this card and bleed for zero (a successful action, but not good enough to get the Edge). You only get the Edge for bleeding for one or more pool. -- L. Scott Johnson (vte...@wizards.com) VTES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.
