[LSJ] Obedience

[Uriel]

This card is creating so many problems (there's at least one post
about it here each week). The new players avoid using it, because it's
both complicated and misued, thus creating heated debates.

Anyway,
1) Can a minion that successfuly blocked play Obedience?
2) If yes, is he tapped?

And in general,
3) If a minion blocks is he "instantly" tapped (and thus unable to
play further reaction cards before combat begins), or blocking and
tapping take place in a different step?

Thanks for the help

OBEDIENCE [Jyhad, V:TES, Sabbat, SW]
Cardtype: Reaction

Discipline: Dominate

Only usable when this reacting vampire is about to enter combat with an
acting younger vampire.
[dom] This vampire is not tapped and combat does not occur; untap the acting
vampire. The acting vampire is blocked and cannot attempt the same action
this turn.
[DOM] As above, but do not untap the acting vampire.

By card text ; 1) Yes. 2)No. 3) Tap just before combat begins.

Correct.
Note that 2) assumes he was untapped before the block.
If he blocked via wakey, he remains tapped.
