If I use Dead for One Thousand Years on my opponent's Perfect Sense of Balance (or any other card), I understand that it and all copies are blanked. As it reads, it also seems to me that since it responds after the ability is "played" it will blank everything after the colon in the ability, so the effect will effectively fizzle and do nothing. Is this correct? Or will the effect still go through, but all the other copies cannot be used?
Thanks,
Jonathan
