Enticement cost

Enticement Serpentis Only usable if you control the Edge ser: (D) Burn the Edge to cause your prey to burn 2 pool. Your minions cannot attempt bleed actions for the remainder of the turn. SER: As above, but your prey burns 3 pool. Nice card. A free "bleed" for 3. And even though you can't *bleed* afterwards, you can still use Jazz Wentworth or Regaining the Upper Hand to do it again... But my question is this: If Enticement is blocked, do you still burn the Edge? I am guessing no. But I wanted to make sure.

But I wanted to make sure. "<Do X> to <Do Y>" is the phrasing of a cost, and this is a cost that would only take place if the action resolved anyway. -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D "You reinstall Dial-Up Networking.

I'd avoid calling it a cost (to avoid confusion with the cost of a card - which is always the number in the blood drop icon on the left and nothing more), but correct. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
