Strix and Mirror Walk

Acting vampire plays Mirror Walk, reacting vampire plays inferior Strix and blocks successfully. Does the blocking vampire untap or not?


Mirror Walk
Cardtype: Action Modifier
Discipline: Thaumaturgy
Do not replace until your discard phase.
[tha] +1 stealth.
[THA] As [tha] above, and if this action is blocked, the action ends (with no combat).

Strix
Cardtype: Reaction
Cost: 1 blood
Discipline: Striga
Burn Option
[str] +1 intercept, even if intercept is not yet needed. If this vampire successfully blocks this action, he or she untaps at the end of the action. [str] is not a Discipline.
[STR] Only usable when a bleed against you is successful. The bleed burns no pool. Instead, this vampire taps and enters combat with the acting minion.

Eh, read wrong

I realised I brainfarted as I clicked submit. Already edidted my note.

I'd think it untaps. MW ends the action. There is an 'end of action' window.

Yeah, that was my thoughts as well. Just wanted to make sure due to superior Mirror Walk's interaction with Freak Drive and some other cards/effects.

The rulings I find ( [RTR 19991206] Change of Target / Obedience vs Aching Beauty, [LSJ 20090826] Siren's Lure vs Change of Target, [LSJ 20071015] Mirror Walk vs Sowing Dissension) show that when an effect ends the action, the rest is lost.

So the vampire who played inferior Strix won't untap in case of Obedience / Change of Target / Mirror Walk.

Ok. I was thinking that Strix has somewhat different wording since it refers to "the end of the action" (which I would say still happens, just like "end of combat" always does) rather than successful blocks or action resolution.
