Q: Spirit Marionette

External Since: Feb 07, 2008 Posts: 1

I play Spirit Marionette on an untapped vampire, who tries to block
and succeeeds. In the resulting combat I play superior Form of Mist an
continue the action, what happens? Do I still take control of the
vampire eventhough it's not longer untapped? If so, I return control
after the next action, right? And I could choose to Force of Will
bleed with it if I wanted to?

No. The tapped vampire is not a legal target. The action (if it remains
unblocked) will fizzle at resolution.

Moot.
