Church of the Order of St. Blaise and Powerbases

Hi there,

I will probably get a door slam in the face for this, but will ask anyway.

Name: Church of the Order of St. Blaise
[Gehenna:R]
Cardtype: Master
Master: unique location. Requires a ready Sabbat vampire.
Lock this card to add one counter to a location you control that uses counters.

It is my belief that the Church can be used to add counters to any Powerbase that uses blood counters.

Name: Powerbase: Barranquilla
[Gehenna:R, Third:PTz]
Cardtype: Master
Cost: 1 pool
Master: unique location.
Put X blood on this card when it is played, where X is the capacity of a ready Sabbat vampire you control. During your unlock phase, you may move 1 blood from this card to your pool. Any vampire may burn this location as a action. Titled vampires get +1 stealth on that action. Burn this card if it has no counters.

Based on the wording of Barranquilla, when you put the blood on the card, they become counters, making it eligible as a target for the Church's effect.

Is this correct?

Thanks for your input.

Your reasoning is a bit weird - blood counters are counters (see 1.2.2 of the rulebook), they don't "become" counters.

But yes, Powerbase Barranquilla is a location that uses counters.

Yep, its a good way to get value of otherwise fringe cards like powerbase chicago or washington. (Better in this context than barranquilla that can be burned as a d-action btw) Also worth noting that it works with powerbase madrid for votes in a sabbat vote deck.
