Haqim's Law: Retribution - efect during combat

I cannot find anything in the rules that would prevent one using Anu or HL:R after the point when the action has been deemed succesful. The action has not ended yet, that happens after resolution.

If you can use HL:R during the combat after an unsuccesful action, why can’t you use it after a succesful one?

To be clear: I hope you cannot use these during this time.

(Previous quick reply seems to have disappeared…)

If the action is a bleed action (even though it's been blocked), you can use BH:R as it is not "playing an action modifier card", the same way you could use the Barrens.


A minion performing a bleed action who is blocked and in combat is still an acting, bleeding, minion.

Based on the above ruling and definition Archon Investigation could be played to burn the BH mid-combat if the boosting leads to a bleed of 4 or more ??

How?

My answer :

In the would be successful window.

All of these are based on the fact that you ruled that it is OK to boost a bleed in a combat based on the fact that it is a generic effect happening during a timing which is technically a bleed action and therefore the acting minion is bleeding.

With the same logic, it could be used during the resolution of the bleed action where (if I am not mistaken) it is allowed to use generic effects like the Barrens.

And to answer that :

No, "would be" window is only used for replacement effects. If you want to increase it, you have to do it before.

You just ruled that it was handled like another generic effects. Otherwise, I could point that in combat you can use only combat cards (and I do).

And by the way, about the second part : you just ruled that you could do it "after".

Would be great if there was an update made to the rules that modifier effects (e.g. Pentex Loves You and HL:R) regardless if from a modifier card or not are subject to the same restriction of timing as modifier cards

One player claim how him can use efect Haqim's Law: Retribution during combat,so just for cycle,him can discard card during combat. if that posible?

Only if the acting minion is bleeding.
REVERSAL: no, not during combat. Only before action resolution.

If this card is now being ruled to provide an "action modifier type effect" why not start printing the cards in that way to immediately make these sorts of rulings unnecessary? You can immediately dovetail in a variant of 'each copy in play provides a different action' for cards like this. A simple layout change to eliminate the need for specific card rulings.

Haqim's Law: Retribution
Cardtype: Master
Clan: Banu Haqim
Put this card in play.
During a bleed action, a Banu Haqim you control can discard a combat card to get +1 bleed.
