If an opponent's blocks with King Mannaseh against your TGT band of 3 characters. He plays confusion and goes and pitches your SoG. Then he rips a plot on you. Do you still have special initiative to negate confusion with blessings?

If he uses Plot to discard all 3 of your heroes in battle, you do not get initiative to negate Confusion because Plot is an instant CBN ability. Playing Blessings would be trying to interrupt a CBN ability which cannot happen. Plot activates and resolves and at that point you no longer have heroes in battle to play anything on.

Better question: how did Manasseh get into battle against TGT?

That would create a lot of problems though. People could  play PCH+Wrath after an opponent played Aocp or something. Essentially any battle winner off an interrupt play next would circumnavigate a CBN battle winner. I think of it like this if something cannot be negated it essentially nullifies all other negates (no negate can actually serve its purpose against hp) that you would have normally played otherwise, thus, in this scenario, blessing is not a negate. So then, if you can only play negates when you are losing the battle, and blessings is not a negate, you cannot play blessings when you are losing the battle. That help?

Think of it in this extreme example. You see someone plant C4 on a bridge. You do nothing. You then watch them press a button and the bridge blow up. You cannot go back and stop them from planting the C4 at this. point.
