Is there a window, after I play Black Sunrise but before the block attempt is resolved, for me to play a bleed reduction card?

After you declare your block attempt (with sufficient intercept), and the acting Methuselah says "OK, I'm blocked", then there you go. (And the acting minion goes first). If it comes back to you to add intercept (or reduce stealth or what not), then you could play Telepathic Counter or other bleed reduction.

[ quoted text not captured ] If I'm right, once you play a bleed reduction card, the blocking window is closed, same as if you bounced the bleed along. So you can't declare a block after that unless the bleed is bounced back to you. Or does that only affect the bleed bouncing cards?

No. Bleed amounts can be, and often are, modified before block decisions. > So you can't > declare a block after that unless the bleed is bounced back to you. > > Or does that only affect the bleed bouncing cards? Only to bouncing, since bouncing implies not blocking (what with changing the target and all).
