If I play a Forced Awakening and then don't even attempt to block
<BR>(for example I play a telepathic counter or something like that),
<BR>do I have to pay the blood? I think so, but the card isn't as clear
as it
<BR>could be (so what else is new).
<P>Thanks,
<BR>Gary S.</HTML>

It is not "If he or she attempts to block and fails..." or "If he or
she fails in his or her attempt to block..."
It is "If he or she fails to block..."
If you do not block, then you fail to block.
If you do not untap, then you fail to untap.
If you do not oust your prey, then you fail to oust your prey.

Yes, you do have to pay a blood. Did you use Forced Awakening? Yes.
Did you successfully block the action you reacted to? No. Therefore,
pay the blood.
