file Contagion & Corruption Counters vs. Strike:Dodge

Hi all,

assume the following situation: Player A has a Minion with a Contagion, Player B has a Mylan Horseed with a corruption counter from Player A. The counter was put there with a card not having the text to use the corruption counter to take control of Mylan.

Now the minion with Contagion is in combat with Mylan and uses the strike Contagion allows them to place a corruption counter on Mylan. Mylan dodges. May Player A burn the already placed corruption counter to take control of Mylan? My guess is no, but I'm not 100% sure about this.

Dodge protects the dodger from all effects of the opponents strike, including, in this case, the ability to burn corruption counters to take control of a minion.

The "steal" effect is part from the Contagion strike. If you don't strike with the Contagion strike you cannot steal the opposing minion. It is not absolutely obvious from card text, though.
