I have a question about the use of Babble (which I'm pretty sure I know anyway). Can Babble (both normal and superior) be used to react to any action? (I'm pretty sure you can - is there anything that says you cannot?) Also, is it legal to untap (superior: "Tap to untap another ready minion. Not usable by a blocking minion.") an acting minion (that you do NOT control, i.e. during someone elses turn) as they are tapping to take that action (Again, I assume this is okay too). Lastly, the one I'm most confused on, is can a minion who failed to block use Babble at superior to untap another minion after the block has failed? He's no longer a blocking minion, but I've heard people argue for either side of this problem. Thanks, Alexander Michels

Any that is taken by another Methuselah's minion, yes. > Also, is it legal to untap (superior: "Tap to untap another ready minion. > Not usable by a blocking minion.") an acting minion (that you do NOT > control, i.e. during someone elses turn) as they are tapping to take that > action (Again, I assume this is okay too).

You can only use the inferior version if someone is attempting to block that action. Right? -mikeooi
