Abjure Cardtype: Power Virtue: Redemption [COMBAT] Tap this imbued before range is determined to end a combat between a monster and a mortal. If the mortal is a minion other than this imbued, you may move a conviction to this imbued from your hand or ash heap. Can this powers efect be used by an imbued not involved in combat? dvorax.

And another card with the same question: Foresee Cardtype: Power Virtue: Vision [COMBAT] [1 CONVICTION] Only usable before range is determined on the first round of combat resulting from a block. Look at the opposing minion's controller's hand. You may then choose to cancel combat. If you do, and this imbued was blocking, the action continues as if unblocked. Can this be used by an imbued not involved in combat?

i would say yes for Abjure (by card text "if the mortal is a minion other than this imbued..." it seems that the developers planed for this effect to be used by an imbued not involved in the combat). I am also not sure, but i believe that there should be explicit text to allow the use of this "combat" effect by a minion not involved in the combat, as normaly combat cards (effects, e.t.c.) can only be used by a minion involved in a combat. So, i think that they should have mentioned this in card text. I would say no for Foresee, as it is a combat effect and it has no explicit card text to allow use when not in combat. By card text ("look at the opposing minion's controller's hand") it seems that the developers planned for this card to be used by a minion involved in combat. Anyway, i can't be sure, so let's wait and see what LSJ says...
