Rules Tweak Suggestion: Rewind TIme et al.

@Ankha: Yes, but I am using a "Wake" to allow me to play a "Cancel". So why should that be any different if there is an action or no action.

The 2001 ruling allows Wakes to be played to afterwards play a "Cancel" card. So why should I be able to play Rewind Time @ [TEM] (a reaction) when there is no action and not played Forced Awakening?

If the 2001 ruling allows a "Wake" (such as Forced Awakening) to be played to enable a "Cancel" (such as Rewind Time), why is it illegal Ankha? Forced Awakening has no requirement for there to actually be an action (other than penalising you if you fail to block the action, which would require its own ruling regarding the effect of using Forced Awakening to then cancel a non-action or if you cancel the action itself.)

(WWEF does require there to be an action, since it says you can only play reactions and block for the current action and therefore cannot be used if there is no action).

Forced Awakening
Type: Reaction
Only usable by a tapped vampire.
This reacting vampire can attempt to block and play reaction cards as though untapped. If he or she does not successfully block this action, he or she burns an additional blood.

Rewind Time
Type: Reaction
Requires: Temporis/Presence
Cost: 2 blood

 Reduce a bleed against you by 1.

[tem] Cancel an action card as it is played (the acting minion is not tapped).

[TEM] Usable by a ready, untapped vampire even though there is no action. Cancel a non-out-of-turn master card as it is played during any other Methuselah's master phase (no cost is paid). The Methuselah who played that card gains another master phase action.

The definition of Reaction Cards restrict them to being played only during other player's actions.

Explicit card text on Rewind Time at allows it to be played when there is no action. This is why it is the only reaction card that can be played in response to a master card.

1.6.3.6

Reaction cards: A ready untapped minion can play a reaction card in response to an action taken by another Methuselah's minion (an action taken by one of a Methuselah's minions cannot be reacted to by any of her own minions).

Correct.

Power of All is the other minion card playable in a master phase.
