Jake Washington and Vagabond Mystic

Can you use vagabond mystic's special to save jake washington (or any other ally that is reduced to zero blood during one damage resolution step or other damaging effect).

Jake Washington (Hunter)


Unique master.
Put this card in play. While in play, this card represents a unique mortal ally with 1 life, 0 strength and 0 bleed and doesn't count as a master card. During your untap phase, you may burn Jake to move up to 4 blood from the blood bank to a ready vampire with no blood.

Vagabond Mystic

Unique mortal with 2 life. 0 strength, 0 bleed.
Tap Vagabond Mystic to move 1 life counter from the blood bank to an ally you control who has fewer life than his or her starting amount. The Vagabond Mystic cannot block vampires.

An ally or retainer that has zero life counters is burned.

Also see the following ruling: [LSJ 20001111]

Thus the answer is "no", you cannot save an ally that way.

Correct answer from Hakuron.
