Alejandro Aguirre - on the qui vive

Can you play an on the qui vive on a tapped Alejandro to use his special?

Alejandro Aguirre
Sabbat: If Alejandro is ready, he may tap before range is determined in any combat that does not involve him to inflict 1 unpreventable damage on each combatant.

on the qui vive
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. If this minion is an ally, he or she does not untap as normal during his or her next untap phase. A minion may play only one On the Qui Vive between his or her untap phases.

Tx! Thought so, too bad. Any suggestions on how you could untap him in another players turn .... only thing I can come up with is eluding the arms of morpheus after a failed block (from prey/pred) ...

Babble.
Reaction
Give another ready minion +1 intercept.
Tap this vampire to untap another ready minion. Not usable by a blocking minion.


Too bad Alejandro can't team up with Toy...

That is a good suggestion, tx! Will be a rather defferent deck design with dementation though - )

Alejandro would be pretty funny with Konrad fleisher and dawn operation (although this is irrelevant for the question I asked)
Once each round, Konrad may treat 1 aggravated damage as normal. He gets an optional press each combat.

Given Alejandro's inferior Animalism, you might find Guard Dogs useful.
Also, just to make sure that you know, you can't play reactions in combat, so you need to play them before going into combat.

Dawn Operation is trick to use well, as people often stop blocking you. It can make your hand manipulation interesting - do you get stuck with your combat-y cards when you want bleed, and vice versa? It's relatively rare to see someone use it really well, though a few to spice up a deck can be fun.

If you like the idea of sending people to torpor in an unavoidable way, you might want to consider Rotschreck. Something like Burst of Sunlight + Rotschreck can be quite vicious in an Auspex/Thaumaturgy blocking/wall deck.

e.g. something like this: www.secretlibrary.info/index.php?deck=view&id=12457

Precognition can be fun there too. Use the damage prevention to prevent the damage to yourself!
