During this Scenario:
When you play a blessing that has the Iomedae trait, you may put it on top of another character’s deck instead of discarding it. When you play any other blessing and it does not have the Corrupted trait, banish it and replace it with a random blessing that has the Corrupted trait from the box.
Does the replacement happen before the effect, and then have to choose an effect of the Corrupted blessing?
If the effect of the original blessing is the one that goes off, is it still treated as though the Corrupted blessing was played?
I ask because it says "when, instead of after", and changes the difficulty of this scenario drastically when they are used during Corrupted blessing turns.
Awesome Vic, thanks for the solution and adding to the FAQ quickly.
The change to "after" raises a question about what to do with non-corrupted blessings that match the top of the blessing discard pile. This was asked on BGG. Are you able to recharge the played blessing first and then replace it with a corrupted one, so that the corrupted blessing is recharged? Both the blessing match power and the scenario power happen after you play the blessing.
Seems to me that "unless instructed otherwise" this is a case of "you choose the order".

Remember, this FAQ added:
"When you reveal a card, it does not leave your hand. When you display a card, it leaves your hand immediately. When you play a card by performing any other action, set it aside while you process its effects. For example, a spell might tell you to discard it, then allow you to succeed at a check to recharge it instead; set it aside until you resolve the check that determines whether or not you recharge it. While set aside, a card does not count as being in your hand, your discard pile, your deck, or anywhere else."
So when you're playing that non-Corrupt non-Iomedae blessing that matches the top card of the blessings discard pile, you're setting it aside until "after you play it," and unless something changes it, you'll be discarding it.
So at that point, we have two things telling you what to do with the card after you play it.
The scenario card says "After you play any other blessing and it does not have the Corrupted trait, banish it and replace it with a random blessing that has the Corrupted trait from the box."
And the blessing itself says "After you play this card, if it matches the top card of the blessings discard pile, recharge this card instead of discarding it."
Since they both happen at the same time, and neither would make the other impossible, you pick the order.
If you do what the scenario says first, you banish it and replace it with the Corrupted blessing. You still have to do what it said on the card you banished, though, which means you recharge the corrupted blessing that replaced it.
If you do what the blessing says first, you recharge it, but you still have to do what the scenario said, so you banish and replace it.
Ether way, you end up having banished the non-Corrupted blessing and you have a Corrupted blessing at the bottom of your deck.
