I have a question about the reaction card Cat's Guidance. It reads:
"Untap this vampire. Only usable immediately after this vampire
blocks."
Which is the correct usage of this card:
a) My vampire just blocked an action. Anticipating another action
from my predator, I immediately play this card and untap him.
b) My vampire just blocked an action. Then, after my predator has
declared another action, I play this card to untap my vampire,
"immediately" meaning right after I blocked his last action.
c) My vampire blocks an action. Then a couple other vampires
block other actions. Then I use CG to untap the first vampire
that blocked, "immediately" meaning THIS vampire's last action
was a block.

a) is technically the correct answer. However, in friendly
games, quite often b) is acceptible. c) is never acceptible around
here.

The way I understand the card, and the way my group plays the
card, is in line with option 'a'. Immediately means just that...immediately.

Immediately meaning "before combat". The blocking vampire does the
combat untapped.

Never try to be amusing and order something like a
"pint of dishwater". Judging by the state of some
of our larger brewers' beers, you just might get it.

No. This was the answer, but it has been (gratefully) reversed.
Combat *is* the effect of blocking, not something that occurs later.
Play Cat's Guidance (and Freak Drive) *after* the combat is over.
