Bear-Baiting

Requires a ready anarch. Only usable when an older non-Anarch vampire successfully blocks.
Compare the costs of the top cards in your crypt and the blocker's crypt and shuffle both. If yours is younger, this anarch takes 1 unpreventable damage (and combat occurs as normal). Otherwise, cancel the combat and place this card on the acting anarch. This anarch gets +2 bleed when bleeding the blocking vampire's controller.

Rulings

Change of Target can be played after Bear-Baiting (younger, older, or the same age).
If the combat is canceled, the action is still blocked, Mask of a Thousand Faces cannot be used to continue it, but an effect can be used to continue the action as if unblocked (eg. Crypt's Sons, Momentary Delay).
