Venenation, Change of Target and Psychomachia

I need confirmation about Venenation, since the Change of Target text is changed.
Is the combination Venenation (put the corrupt counter) and then Change of target valid?

Also, is the combination of Venenation and Psychomachia ( on both and ) works the same as combination above?

What are other cards that work well with Venenation in this manner?

Thanks.


Venenation
Cardtype: Action Modifier
Cost: 1 blood
Discipline: Serpentis
Only usable when this acting minion is blocked, before combat begins.
Place a corruption counter on the blocking minion. If the number of your corruption counters on the minion equals or exceeds the blood capacity of that vampire or the cost of that ally, you may burn all of your corruption counters on that minion to gain control of him or her (combat is canceled). Otherwise, combat occurs as normal.
As above, but the cost of this card is reduced by 1 blood.

Change of Target
Cardtype: Action Modifier
Only usable if this minion is blocked, before block resolution.
Unlock this acting minion, and the action ends (unsuccessfully). This minion cannot perform the same action again this turn.

Psychomachia
Cardtype: Action Modifier
Cost: 1 blood
Discipline: Daimoinon/Presence
Only usable when an ally or younger vampire successfully blocks before locking the blocker.
Cancel the current action and unlock this acting vampire. The blocking minion is not locked.
The block fails, and the action continues. The blocking minion cannot attempt to block this action again.
As above, and the blocking minion takes 1 damage (damage not preventable).

Not to be a fly in the ointment here, but it was a viable strategy originally and given the card text, it still seems viable.

Change of Target: Only usable if this minion is blocked, before block resolution.
Psychomachia: Only usable when an ally or younger vampire successfully blocks before locking the blocker.
Venenation: Only usable when this acting minion is blocked, before combat begins.

Neither CoT or Psy are mutually exclusive to Venenation by card text. They all require the minion gets blocked and that the action has not moved beyond the Block step. I don't see where Venenation cares whether the action gets canceled or not.

So, to be clear, if my minion performs some action that gets blocked and that minion plays Venenation, THEN CoT or Psy, it seems a valid play from card text.

You have to play venenation first.

Venenation cares if the action is cancelled simple because it is an action modifier.
If the action is canceled, there is no action left to modify.
