Power of All has text: "Tap this anarch and one other untapped ready anarch you control to cancel a library card as it is played." If I have one tapped and one untapped anarch, what happens if I try to Wake the tapped anarch and play Power of All to cancel something? A). I cannot play Power of All since I cannot tap 2 anarchs. B). I can play Power of All, but it wouldn't work, since I cannot tap 2 Anarchs. C). I can play Power of All, and it would work.

[ quoted text not captured ] A). "tap to" requires you are untapped. See also: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/msg/09cfcaba9e257a23

[ quoted text not captured ] Another question on the same topic. My predator plays Legal Manipulation. Can my anarch play Guard Dogs/Rat's Warning/Predator's Communion to untap and cancel Legal Manipulation with Power of All? Or these reactions cannot be played in that window since the acting vampire isn't bleeding yet?

[ quoted text not captured ] Here's the rules text: 1.6.1.1. Some effects can cancel a card "as it is played." These effects (and effects that grant the ability to play them, like Forced Awakening) are the only effects allowed during the "as played" time period of another card. I assume that Guard Dogs, Rat's Warning and Predator's Communion are the effects that grant the ability to play other cards, like Power of All. Or they aren't? I was wondering whether these card can be played in that window - is the acting minion already bleeding after playing Legal Manipulations or not?

Or they aren't? Aren't (see the cited thread). They have no text regarding the minion's ability to play other cards. > I was wondering whether these card can be played in that window - is > the acting minion already bleeding after playing Legal Manipulations > or not? Yes. Xe is acting, the action is a bleed action, etc. even before DI is played (and if DI is then played, xe is not acting, etc.)
