1/ Wormwood is in play (10 counters). One copy of Arika is in play. A 2nd copy of Arika is brought into play and enters the contest. Does the 2nd Arika lose blood to Wormwood before entering the contest ? I don't think so, but would like to confirm. 2/ If an uncontrolled vampire of X capacity has X+1 counters at the end of influence phase and enters the contest, does the extra blood roll off immediately, or would it wait until the next untap phase (provided the contest is won) ? I guess the latter. 2-1/ follow-up : if the extra blood rolls off, would it make a withdraw attempt fail ? 3/ If an influenced Tariq enters a contest, does his special kick in before entering the contest ? I guess not 4/ If an influenced Victor Pelletier enters a contest, can you use his special (When Victor enters play, you may pay 1 pool... ) before he actually is contested ? I guess you can, same template as Anarch Convert (i.e. you can use the Convert's ability "When the convert enters play..." even though the Convert is about to enter a contest). 5/ If a vampire of capacity X has Grand Madre de Dio and a vampire of X-1 capacity is influenced and enters a contest, does the Grand Madre effect kick in (When your predator or prey puts a minion in play in any phase...) ? I guess not (well depends of whether "puts into play" means "really put it into play" or "putting into play" or something). thanks Stone

Gran Madre di Dio. Correct.

No. (Although a merged vampire can be contested, before anyone takes my answer the wrong way.) > 3.1.1 If Tariq can be merged while being contested, would Tarig > (merged) be at full blood when he comes into play then? Moot, but yes.
