I have Smudge in play. Smudge has one of my temptations on him. He has 0 blood and thus hunts. Someone plays foul blood at qui and he gains zero. Temptation has zero counters. 1) May i burn 0 counters of Smudge to untap and hunt again? 2) If yes, may I do this more than once with the same temptation, Smudge still having 0 blood? Or would I need multiple Temptations?

[ quoted text not captured ] Hah! I can answer that! No you cant! I know, because I wanted to put one temptation on Rabbat, get her to zero blood and then hunt+untap+hunt+untap etc. until I had a gazilion pool.

No. You must have at least one counter to use a temptation. > 2) If yes, may I do this more than once with the same temptation, > Smudge still having 0 blood? Or would I need multiple Temptations? "During your minion phase" means once per minion phase (per temptation). -witness1

So if Smudge has zero, you need have only zero counters to use Temptation. >> 2) If yes, may I do this more than once with the same temptation, >> Smudge still having 0 blood?

[ quoted text not captured ] Meh. Kush, I know, I just wanted to use Smudge. Cos he's Smudge, you know? ;) So OK yes no FB but Rabbat only once per T. Curses. Foiled.

[ quoted text not captured ] But Kush, why are you not giving Smudge the love he so richly deserves, nay, needs? He is but a poor, lost, waif, destined to travel the dark underbelly of the world with his one big hand, hoping beyond hope to somehow enlarge the other hand. All the other Caitiff laugh at him, Kush. Caitiff! Mocking you! The horror and shame is almost too much.
