Crypt's Son Timing

I'll point out that in all those cases, the question for timing of playing cards is the issue - and Crypt's Son isn't playing a card, it's activating an effect already in play. But I don't think there is a practical difference - creating an effect is creating an effect, regardless of mechanism.

Indeed, there is no difference between a card or an effect that uses the same timing condition.

Not sure i get the card at all. If it used before the combat, is the blocking vamp tapped?

The block was successful, so the blocking minion taps* for successfully blocking.

Then the combat is cancelled, and the action continues as if unblocked.

* barring cards like Atonement etc.
