Marthe Dizier combat ends vs psyche

[Guest]

Marthe Dizier 10 pro AUS CEL OBF PRE

Toreador Antitribu 3 Sabbat, Black Hand: When a combat involving
Marthe ends, she can burn a blood to move a card she played during that
combat you your hand. +1 bleed. G


So, if Marthe combat ends in a given combat, is she able to fetch that
card back in the face of an opponenets psyche?

Cheers,

Yes.

Psyche! requires combat to be ended to be played, so there is a window
where you can retrieve a card. Compare to Telepathic Tracking, which is
played when 'combat is about to end'.

Ooops...well, why wouldn't she? Combat's over, cards played in said
combat. Perhaps she's out of blood?

I hope this is correct, because I've been using this tech to protect a
Marthe Dizer bleed deck from a pretty powerful Elen Fence, the Tracker and
!Gangrel friends rush deck for months. All you need is Marthe on the table
and one Staredown in hand


combat begins
pre-range
determine range
<I assume no immortal grapples are played at this step>
declare strikes - Marthe plays an S:CE card.

As soon as the S:CE card is played <ie: Combat Ends>
* draw back up to your handsize
* burn 1 blood and take the S:CE card back into your hand,
* discard down to your handsize

<did I mention this is a great way to cycle useless cards out of your hand,
too?>

opponent plays Psyche! to restart combat.


Unless combat ends and begins again on the same card, Marthe must have a
window in which she can use her special. I'm pretty sure this is correct,
but I'd like a second opinion on this.

I thought LSJ would've answered this already, but seeing as he hasn't,
I'll throw in my two cents -- Marthe Dizier's ability and Psyche! have
the same window of oppurtunity (you can use MD to retrieve a Psyche!
played in combat for a press, and immediately play it to start a new
combat), but Psyche! negates Marthe Dizier's ability because when it's
played, there's immediately a new combat. So if Marthe's controller is
the acting minion, she can use her ability first, but once the
controller of the opposing minion plays the Psyche!, it's too late to
make use of Marthe's ability.

Actually, the question is whether or not Marthe can retrieve a combat
card when the opponent plays Psyche! at superior, which I still believe
she can.

That's pretty much how we played it, but it did generate a bit of
discussion about how it should work.

I wonder if there is a way to have fun with that?

Clan Impersonate, Path of Blood, Thin blood, staredown, fetch, psyche?

Easy

Any "before strike" dmg/burn blood cards I guess are feasible. Well,
weather control maybe not.

Give her OBT and use Darkness Within. Use a path and you are
essentially doing it for free (you do get the darkness blood between
combats, right?). Plus you get a man. which may enable you to simply
press with a psyche every now an then to get more blood. I suppose you
could play a heap of discipline cards and a few shock troops...or
something.

Here's one that sort of works with current disciplines:

Mask of Judas, Staredown, psyche. You would probably need something
stupid like the eye of Hazimel though, so you didn't have to pay for
the MoJ.

Thanks.

No need until now, since the initial responses were correct and there
was no call for an official seal of approval.

Correct.

No. "new combat" does nothing to thwart her ability.
See also replacing "things which are not replaced until after combat" not
being thwarted by Psyche!.

What about superior Catatonic Fear? I'm seeing conflicted rulings and
am too lazy to find out which one is right, but the point of damage is
either cancelled by Psyche!, or lingers until all combats are over.
Either way, it's an after combat effect that's interrupted or delayed.
Why is it different?

In an alternate vein:

Frederick the Weak (with CEL, and 3 blood) rushes Lazverinus.

Frederick punches for one, Lazverinus punches for 3.

No prevent, no press.

At the end of the combat, Frederick wants to play Psyche!. Lazverinus
wants to play Disarm. Frederick, being acting, gets to go first, of course.

#1: Is the window for playing Psyche! after that of playing Disarm,
rendering the question moot, or...
#2: Does the Psyche! prevent playing the Disarm, or...
#3: Can they both play their cards, resulting in a new combat where
Frederick immediately goes to torpor?

yes. but no blood will have been moved to it if you didn't get to
'regular' strike resolution, which you don't if someone s:ce's.

I'd wager... it's #1.

CF is a "end combat and do something else all as part of this single
effect" thing. Marthe's ability is not. See also Undead Persistence's
ticket to torpor.

#1. Superior Psyche! is played after combat.

Ok. Cagliostro, the Grand Copht is hunting. Frederick the Weak (with
CEL, etc) blocks. An uneventful combat occurs.

For whatever reason, Cagliostro's controller declines to place a
corruption counter on Frederick, and passes on playing any effects.
Frederick plays superior Psyche!.

Can Cagliostro's controller then place the corruption counter on
Frederick, in the face of the Psyche!?

Sure. They have the same timing window. See also Marthe vs. Psyche!

So can an acting minion with 0 blood Psyche! after a combat against
Amelia, the Blood Red Tears? If so, when does the damage get applied?

Yes. Immediately (causing the Psyche!-combat to abort once the would-be
combatant is no longer ready). See also Undead Persistence vs. Psyche!.

Undead Persistence vs Psyche! allows (last I checked) the
going-to-torpor vampire the ability to play another Undead Persistence;
this insinuates that the new combat is entered.

Is this correct?

If so, does this apply to Amelia, as well? Could the damage be
prevented with a Skin of Rock?

(Tertiary question: Could a vampire suffering from UP/Psyche! play other
before range cards aside from UP, or must UP be the first card played to
keep that vampire from going to torpor in the new combat?)

If there was any damage, perhaps. But Amelia doesn't do damage.

Only UP or similar (otherwise combat would end).

Damn stupid normal strike resolution. It would have been a cool thing
