Trochomancy

So, if Methuselah A is bleeding Methuselah B and uses Trochomancy up front for a +1 Bleed ...

1) Does Methuselah B lose the cards from their ash heap even if its blocked?

2) If Methselah B bounced it to Methuselah C, who loses the cards from their ash heap?

I found the answer to part 2, but I'd still love clarification on part 1. I am assuming the answer is yes.

yes, it only affects Methuselah B. you remove the cards as soon as Trochomancy is played, not later.

Which makes it so good versus Girls -type of deck as it doesn't matter whether Aksinya (or whomever) bounces the bleed or not, you still get to discard from their asheep. You just have to play Trochomancy before they bounce. which usually means playing it up front.

Also I'd say that in most tables people are willing to bouce your basic bleed to Girls in order for you to be able to boost the bleed with Trochomancy using the Girls' asheep.

The cards are chosen as part of Trochomancy's terms (inferior, superior). They are removed as part of Trochomancy's resolution (that is: if it is DI'd, they aren't removed). They are always removed from the target of the bleed when Trochomancy is played.

@ Robba: I'd appreciate it very much if you would qoute the cardtext you ask about. It makes it much more fun to find an answer. Thank you .
