Ark of the Covenant

s/a Regardless of battle outcome one Evil Character an opponent uses to block a rescue attempt is discarded at the end of battle. Limit holder to two such discards per game.

Question: If the RA is successful without using the AotC has it been used?

Yes. Since having it active may alter your opponent's choices to block, activation counts as a use.

That's not exactly true. It is only used if a blocking Evil Character was Discarded. If you RA with Peter with Ark active and they block with Jazzaniah and no enhancements are played, Jazzaniah dies and Ark is used once. If, however, you RA with Lot and they block with Jazzaniah and you play Freedom! to remove Jazzaniah, the Ark is not used since no Evil Character was Discarded.

I was not aware of that. You learn something new every day.  ;D

-----------------------------------------------

Separate question then:

If Ark is active and I capture the only EC with Baggage, does Ark cause the EC-treated-as-a-Lost-Soul to be discarded?

No, because at the end of battle it is no longer an Evil Character but a LS/Captured Character/however we're defining captured cards these days.
