20. Replacing the "Wake with Evening's Freshness": WwEF is one of the few cards that is neither a Combat card nor an Action card, yet says "Do not Replace until after Combat." Situation: I have a tapped Brujah and an untapped Tremere. Opponent comes to bleed me at +0 stealth. Brujah Wakes. Opponent plays +1 stealth, getting through Brujah. Tremere plays +1 Intercept, blocks bleed, combat begins. Question: Is the WwEF replaced before or after the combat? (The combat does not involve the Brujah who played the Wake.) If Brujah wants to play the Auspex action modifier to enter combat with opponent (forgot name of card) after this combat, do I need a second Wake card (or is it illegal because I can't Wake twice in the same action with one minion)? And when is the first Wake card replaced? (If I don't need a second Wake, then this means the first Wake allowed me to play a reaction to enter combat.) Another similar question: If one minion attempts "Arson", gets blocked, combats, then another minion plays "Hidden Lurker", is the "Arson" replaced before or after the second combat? Do I replace it before playing the Hidden Lurker? 21. Contesting the Barrens: I have the Barrens out. In opponent's master phase, opponent plays Barrens and contest with me. I yell, "Wait! Before you do that, I tap Barrens to discard a card." Question: how is the timing resolved here? Can I "react" LIFO to a Master card played by another player, or can my opponent demand that all such "fast effects" be played before revealing his Master card? "Live Life with Heart."

You do not need a second Wake since the Brujah has 'Wake'd. : Another similar question: [ quoted text not captured ]

I hope you meant to say that it would be an action modifier, not a reaction. It's only usable after an acting minion you control finishes combat, which means it *has* to be played on your turn.

Yeah, yeah. Meant to say Action Modifier. Sheesh. Can't get _anything_ past you guys, can I? :-) -Shane

WwEF applies until the current action is concluded. The do not replace is there as a way to tell you when the current action is concluded, so no, you would not replace it until after combat. >If Brujah wants to play the Auspex action modifier to enter >combat with opponent (forgot name of card) after >this combat, do I need a second Wake card (or is it >illegal because I can't Wake twice in the same >action with one minion)? And when is the first Wake >card replaced? (If I don't need a second Wake, >then this means the first Wake allowed me to play >a reaction to enter combat.) It's Fast Reaction. And since WwEF applies until the action is concluded, you don't need another one (since the action isn't over until you finish all your reactions). >If one minion attempts "Arson", gets blocked, combats, >then another minion plays "Hidden Lurker", is the >"Arson" replaced before or after the second >combat?

Things always go acting meth, blocking meth (if appropriate) and then clockwise from the acting when people want to do things at the same time. However, you can't undo anything (except with Sudden Reversal), so I would say that FIFO, and you're stuck. [ quoted text not captured ]

Semi-official errata from Tom: Hidden Lurker is supposed to be a reaction and not an action.

Curtis but that makes no sense.if hidden lurker was a reaction card, it would be a fast reaction- you can't play reaction cards on your own turn. if it was a reaction card, you could only use it after blocking someone. i don't have my cards with me, so i can't see it, but what is hidden lurker now? i always thought it was a modifier. if it's an action, what's wrong with that? either way, you tap the next vamp. harpua

Jyhad doesn't have any kind of timing rules, really, and it's not possible to respond to actions unless a card specifically allows you to (Sudden Reversal). If a race condition comes up, assume the active player had to decide first whether to do anything, with priority going clockwise from there. The usual "Are you done yet?" protocols apply as well, so if the active player is just zipping through the phases, someone can make her back up, though I would be less lenient about backups in Jyhad than in Magic...

Hidden Lurker should really be an action modifier, yes, not an action (or a reaction). As far as I know there hasn't been errata to this effect issued, though. [ quoted text not captured ]

Peace Brent, I'm going to agree and disagree with you at the same time. I agree that lack of reaction could cause problems, but that's part of the game. If you wait too long to use a unique card, you might lose it. What about when you bring out a vampire and, before your next turn (you haven't gotten to use it), someone brings out the same vampire and contests you. You just don't get to use that vampire. Something similar happened to me this weekend. I was playing my Malkavian deck and had a Madness Network in play. Bill played Unnatural Disaster on the Madness Network. I couldn't do anything with my untapped Malkavians (I had been saving them to use until just before my turn). For all intents and purposes all my minions lost a turn (sat around and picked their noses). That's part of the game and I like it. Nil carborundum illigitimi, James R.
