Hi there, so seeing the ruling that you cannot play Power of All during combat because of the basic rules prohibiting it, are there any other phases/ library cards it cannot cancel? We had a discussion if it can cancel master cards. I couldn't find a paragraph like in the combat section for the other phases, so my understanding would be that it can cancel everything except combat cards. Correct? Thanks, Bernd

forgot the card text: Power of All Type: Reaction Requires: anarch Cost: 2 blood Requires a ready anarch. Tap this anarch and one other untapped ready anarch you control to cancel a library card as it is played. Usable even if there is no action. Not usable during your own turn.

Almost. Since you can only play reactions in someone else his turn you can't cancel a reaction card played by someone else. But you can cancel action and action modifiers as long as you have a minion that is able to play the reaction card. And I think that you cannot cancel master cards as well as those are not minion cards. Same goes for events.

You can only play reaction cards when another methusaleh is acting, which isn't exactly the same. And you can cancel reaction cards, just as long as they're not played during your turn (or when you're acting). > And I think that you cannot cancel master cards as well as those are > not minion cards. Same goes for events. Power of All cancels library cards though, which includes master and event cards as well.
