LSJ, you recall asking me to check on superior Psyche! during the EC? Copied from WW: Psyche!: # The superior will cancel any "continue action" effect produced during the preceding combat (e.g. Form of Mist) [RTR 19950509] # The superior is played after combat ends, even though the card is a combat card. [RTR 19980928] # Is played before superior Freak Drive or inferior Cats' Guidance can be played to untap one of the combatants. (The combatants will have to wait until after the next combat ends to play those cards.) [LSJ 19981216] # No new cost need be paid for the block (Archon, Aching Beauty, Donal, etc.) [TOM 19960303] # The superior can be played before or after replacing any "Do Not Replace Until After Combat" cards. [LSJ 19990322] # Superior cannot be played if there is already a combat queued (with, for example, Blissful Agony) [RTR 20020501] so, yes, Psyche! superior is still ruled to be played after combat, as is Coordinate Attacks by implicit ruling, see http://groups.google.se/group/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/browse_thread/thread/cc59a82daeadcd60/0377fc3bb69547f9?lnk=gst&q=coordinate+attacks+same+window+psyche&rnum=2&hl=en#0377fc3bb69547f9 This does kind of conflicts with the need for an opposing minion in combat as we have left combat behind us. As the argument for the ruling above is worded any and all combat cards played 'at the end of combat' (is there a special window for effects happening 'at the end of a round' that occurs before 'at the end of combat'?) are played after combat. If no affirmative to question in parenthesis then another five cards are played after combat, and Pulled Fang's damage can't be prevented by a combat card. Telepathic Tracking is worded slightly different, and as far as I know is played during combat.
