Forwarding from the IRC group...
Blade Clot
Cardtype: Action Modifier/Combat
Requires an anarch.
Only usable when this anarch diablerizes a vampire with capacity 5 or
more. Put this card in play with 3 clot counters. When an anarch you
control inflicts hand or melee weapon damage, you may move a clot
counter from this card to the opposing minion. A minion with a clot
counter goes to torpor or is burned during his or her untap phase. If
an older vampire rescues the vampire, burn the clot counter.
Since the wording is 'when an anarch you control inflicts' without the
word 'successfully', is the counter moved even if the damage from the
strike is prevented (i.e. unsuccessfully inflicted?)
If it is indeed just 'when your minion inflicts', does the counter get
moved as part of strike resolution (and thus gets avoided by a dodge
or S:CE from the foe)?

No.

?
It is avoided by dodge or S:CE, since each of those will prevent the anarch from
inflicting damage.
