[LSJ] Combat ends question (again!!)

Hi! This one is pretty simple. Combat ends implies that combat ends IMMEDIATELY: how immediate is that? Does, for instance, the opposing minion get to play a strike anyway? (it is interesting sometimes por the opposing minion to do so, for untap, equip, or other effests) If combat is ended, how can Watenda use his ability to cancel the strike?, and so on... Thx in advance...

As it is played, before it resolves. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) VTES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

If it's on another card, when that card resolves (normally, during the steps immediately after being played). > Does, for instance, the opposing minion get to play a strike anyway? (it > is interesting sometimes por the opposing minion to do so, for untap, > equip, or other effests) It goes like this: 1) Acting player chooses strike (which may be S:CE) 2) Other player chooses strike (which may be S:CE) 3) Other Choose Strike phase effects (e.g. claws) 4) Resolve strikes: a) S:CE (combat ends here) b) S:Dodge c) S:First Strike d) S:The rest > If combat is ended, how can Watenda use his ability to cancel the > strike?, and so on... Yes, by cancelling it when it is played (either during stage 1 of the above, or stage 2). -- James Coupe | PGP Key 0x5D623D5D "Steve: Yeah, well that's one of the advantages of being a sad, lonely fairy, I guess.
