i would say that the quoted thread doesn't answer the OP

Once the block is successfull, there is no place for another block attempt

This is exactly the point of confusion for many. A minion attempting to block and a minion who successfully blocks are actually the same thing, per the rulebook glossary definition of "blocking minion." This is what the later pages of the other thread are explaining.

So Guardian Vigil can be played after a successful block, even though the card says "this minion attempts to block." Because, again, per the rulebook glossary, an attempt to block and a successful block are the same. Even though the rest of the rulebook and the actual game mechanics would have one think otherwise (the rulebook does not equate a successful block with an attempt to block anywhere else other than the glossary).

You can't play it once the block is successful, you must play it before.
However, the following scenario is possible:

Acting Meth: A bleeds
You: B attempts to block.
Acting Meth: Blocked*
You: B plays Guardian Vigil
Acting Meth: Still blocked**
You: ok, combat then

*: when he says "blocked", he should say "no more stealth" or "no more effects".
**: he could play stealth at this point.
