Yep. Reaction powers can be used when you can play reactions. When you
cannot, you cannot use your reaction powers.
So whereas on the qui vive allows the use of these powers, blind spot
denies said use.

I agree that they use the same timing window, but Blind Spot says
specifically "reaction cards", and powers are not reaction cards.

OtQV allows you to play reactions, including powers? I'm not sure
either way here, but I wouldn't be surprised. However, card text on
Blind Spot is clear; reaction cards.

It's similarly clear on OtQV.
Only usable by a tapped minion. This reacting minion can play
reaction cards and attempt to block as though untapped until the
current action is concluded.
However, when a reaction card can be played, a reaction power can be
used: <http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/msg/
be701b4b6dbb0a21>
It says that the Reaction symbol indicates when the power can be
used. Meaning that the reaction symbol says that the power can
be used whenever a reaction card may be. [LSJ 20060911]
Since Blind Spot bans reaction cards from that minion, it seems logical
to assume that it also bans reaction-based powers.

Yep, and as per James' comment: Allowing or disallowing the playing of
reaction cards, also enables/disables the possibility of using
reaction-style powers. You can use these powers whenever you can play
a reaction card.

Correct.
Is not this kind of inconsistent compared to strike/strike card? Would
it not be better with consistency?
How do you reconcile the conflict in general where one card denies a
particular thing but another allows it's use? Does the deny always override
the allow?

How do you see it as inconsistent?
Here there's no conflict.
One effect allows reaction cards "as if untapped".
But that doesn't allow reaction cards' requirements to be overlooked, for example.
If the minion couldn't play the reaction card if he were untapped, then, when
tapped, On the Qui Vive's effect is not sufficient to allow the use, since it
only allows the use "as if untapped".
Wait... what happened to the original question (disregarding the On
the Que Vie stuff)?
If you play blind spot on an UNtapped imbued with champion, can he use
Champion? (since its a reaction power and is not Playing a reaction
card).
I'm guessing I missed the answer somewhere...
