could a methuselah play both strix and a touch of pain on the same action?
does the order matter (i wanted to play the touch of pain first)... i thought the bleed was 'resolved' (it was successful, by card), or is this not correct?
You can play both, and you can't choose the order. Strix must go first.
Strix causes the action to burn no pool, but leaves it as a successful bleed. Confirmed in
[FZD 20120102]
.
If you think altering it into "The bleed burns no pool {but remains successful}." would be clearer, let me know. That's a quick change that doesn't change how the card works, and that I can do on the fly.
(Emphasis mine.)
So Strix goes first, causing a combat during resolution. (All combats occur during the resolution of some action.
[LSJ 20070629]
)
Effects that happen after resolution (like Freak Drive or Touch of Pain) go after the last combat in an action.
[a followup LSJ 20070629]
They [the combats] all occur in the resolution phase, though. There are no effects that force
combat in the "who can block" phase or what have you.

After the last combat.
strix (@superior striga).
Only usable when a bleed against you is successful. The bleed burns no pool. Instead, this vampire taps and enters combat with the acting minion.
This is not current card text. Current card text is:
[STR] Only usable when a bleed against you would be successful. The bleed burns no pool. Instead, this vampire taps and enters combat with the acting minion.
strix + touch of pain.
