Fishing for Rotschreck

With the new clarification on "Fishing" (tapping the Barrens to search for a Sudden Reversal, etc), how does this interact with Rotschreck? Two specific examples: 1) I block an action. I strike Breath of the Dragon, and the card I replace it with is Rotschreck. Can I play Rotschreck? 2) I block an action. I strike Breath of the Dragon. I tap the Barrens and my new card is Rotschreck. Can I play Rotschreck? Since Rotschreck's timing is "as damage is attempted" as opposed to "as card is played", I'm not sure what the window looks like here.

The new timing window only really affects "as played" cards, like Direct Intervention. Rotschreck isn't "as played". --Colin McGuigan

Rotschreck is not a "cancel a card as it is played" effect. > Two specific examples: > 1) I block an action. I strike Breath of the Dragon, and the card > I replace it with is Rotschreck.

Darkling trickery vs R�tschreck. Acting methuselah's minion goes first. Which will in 99% of the situations not be a problem, except for madnessnetwork-R�tschreck. you know what, this is to confusing. never mind.....
