Situation:
Sister Evelyn is hunting. The Siamese with a Raven Spy blocks and taps. The
Siamese wants Bastet to smack around Evelyn, so Bastet taps for her special.
Evelyn plays Change of Target.
(This occurred in JOL, so the CoT was out of order due to players not being
there at the same time.)
Question: Are Siamese, Bastet, and Evelyn all untapped? (I believe so, since
the timing window for Bastet to tap for her special never actually occurred,
since CoT ended the action prior to the "about to enter combat" phase.)
TIA,
Pat

Oops, sorry for the reply to my own post, but I guess another question is
actually raised by this situation:
Can Change of Target be played in response to tapping Bastet? Or is it too
late to play CoT at that point?
If not too late, does Bastet untap?
Thx again,
Pat

To be more general : what is the exact meaning of "about to enter
combat" and "before combat". Is it the same time window ? Or
does one include the other ? Or does one is after the other ?
[ quoted text not captured ]
I believe that about to enter combat exists first then before combat
begins comes next.
So in your case :
Evelyn Hunts
Siamese Attempts to Block
Evelyn States Block Successful
Evelyn Plays Change Of Target (She Was Blocked)
Bastet's Window hasn't occurred
now new option
Evelyn Hunts
Siamese Attempts to Block
Evelyn States Block Successful
Evelyn Forgets to Play CoT (thus Siamese has blocked and combat about
to begin)
Bastet's Window has occurred and taps
Since the block has occurred and has been cancelled there is no block
for CoT to be played since the Bastet's ability is a combat queuing not
a new block.

Then use 1.6.1.6 and rewinding as appropriate.
At the block-is-successful point, the acting minion plays CoT.
The action ends.
Bastet cannot be used.

Correct. Bastet is completely unaffected -- she's not involved at all.
Siamese and Evelyn are untapped by CoT's text.

The latter.

Moot.
