Ok, this is a "just to make sure" post. Some reaction cards have the text template "tap this X to...". This clearly requires a tap for the effect to happen, so playing Wake + this card would not work. Example: Wake + superior Babble does not work. On the other hand, lots of reaction cards have text like "Tap this reacting X." or "tap this X and...". In this case, the tap is just a side effect and the card can be combined with Wake. Example: Wake + Car Bomb works. So only reaction cards that have text templates like "tap this X to..." or "tap the reacting X to..." require the tap (and don't work with Wake)? //Petri

'cos you know, the "as though untapped" thing. I kind of figured that an untapped minion could tap to do something. I could have even argued that a minion may "tap to" to do something but the babble text was: "tap this minion to" and not "this minion taps to".

Wake with Evening's Freshness Do not replace until your next untap phase. Only usable by a tapped vampire. This reacting vampire can use reaction cards and attempt to block *as though untapped* until the current action is concluded. are you saying that an untapped vampire may not be tapped? > On the other hand, lots of reaction cards have text like "Tap this reacting > X." or "tap this X and...".

No. He's saying that a tapped vampire cannot "tap to" do something. He is correct in that regard. -- [ quoted text not captured ]
