To resolve any card that says "Do not replace until after combat", that
card is not replaced until the current action is resolved or a combat
resulting from that action is resolved. In the case of a reaction card
(a la Wake), the current action is the action being reacted to.

Yes, you can declare an _attempt_ to block. However, since Wake does not
allow you to actually redraw a card, you would need to have an intercept
card already in hand in order to successful block the action.
On a slight side note, it is possible to wake and do nothing or wake and
have another minion block, if only to cycle cards.

Note that although this is popularly accepted and perhaps "official",
it is in contradiction to the rules (at least in Jyhad): the Jyhad
rules mentioned that you cannot attempt to block unless you play
sufficient intercept to begin with.
So, you can't just burn a Wake without playing another reaction card,
or risking your minion getting into combat.

I believe that the idea is
if I am trying to burn through my hand to come up with that
stealth card that I know is coming and will allow me to bleed
my prey out, I will play a wakey whenever possible just to
get it out of my hand. I have played wakey's in reaction to
my Grandprey's actions cause I could and wanted to get then out of my hand.
It worked cause I drew the int that I needed to stop my predator
from calling that damnebly KRC that would've killed me and
probably allowed him to oust my prey at the time immediately
following the vote. ( like one blood left in his pool after that vote)
So is this legal or not?
I can see no reason for it to not be?

Wake With Evening's Freshness does not require the vampire to block or play
reaction cards; it simply allows the vampire to do so in spite of the fact
that the vampire is tapped. It is certainly possible to play WWEF even if
you have no intention of doing anything afterwards (as long as someone else
is acting).

It is legal, but you may want to make a house rule against that,
unless you /really/ want to exclude anyone without 10 Wakes or so
from playing in your group.

No, you still can cycle the Wakes. You needn't attempt to block to play a
Wake.

Agree with this.

: or risking your minion getting into combat.
Disagree with this. Text of the card is: (like we don't all know it by heart...)
Wake with Evening's Freshness Reaction
Do not replace until after combat.
Usable only by a tapped vampire. This vampire can play reaction cards and
attempt to block as though untapped until the current action is concluded.
From this, I do not get that the vampire _must_ attempt to block, or
_must_ play a reaction card; only that it is now possible where before it
was not. Have I 4 tapped vampires and 4 wakes in my hand, I can burn all
these wakes on a single action and choose to do nothing. The use of the
wake allows me options where before I had none - not force actions where
before I could do nothing.
Since an untapped vampire may decline to block, I do not see any reason
why a WWEF'd vampire should not be allowed the same choice.
(Not that I necessarily _agree_ with this wording, but it is what the
card says, IMHO. As Curt said - it makes it awfully hard to compete if
one doesn't have a mittful of Wakes...)

How did you draw intercept if you cannot redraw a wake with evening's
freshness?

I'm not clear on what happened. Can you re-explain? Thanks.

Sure. Wake just says that said tapped vampire `can' play reactions and
block as if it were untapped. It doesn't require you to do so any more than
being untapped forces your hand in such a stiuation. The point is that the
effect of the Wake (that you act for a time as if you were untapped) is an
effect, appart from blocking or playing reactions.
Wake can be played at any time that you have a tapped minion and
someone is performing an action.
