bloodstorm of chorazin:
if my baali blocks, he's tapped. so it has to be _another_ baali
playing Bloodstorm, or the blocking baali playing a wake?
or was it supposed to be playable _before_ you tap for the block?
and i am assuming that if you play it, other baali can't play more of
them, due to the action ending (by blood's card text).
there might be some connection between the 'this baali' in the main
text refferring to the 'baali who blocks' in the bold text, but the
'this baali' could just refer to the baali playing the card, who
doesn't necessarily have to be the baali referred to by the bold text.
the way i initially thought it was supposed to work was:
baali A blocks younger vampire. Baali A plays bloodstorm, taps, the
younger vampire takes a damage, and there's no combat and the action
is over (with no chance for freak drive).
but then shawn pointed out the vagaries of the text, and now i'm all
twisted around.
anyway
psychomachia:
only usable when a younger vamp or ally successfully blocks.
so the blocker is tapped? and then the block fails, but the card
neglects to have a 'do not tap the blocking minion' clause.
my brain's a bit frazzled at the moment from two full days of
prerelease madness after a bit of a crazy friday night on the town,
but i think i might have valid questions....
