Is "After combat ends" and "at the end of combat" the same time window?

No.

If not which one resolves first? If yes does the player get to order the effects?

"At the end of combat" first (still in combat), then "after combat" (no longer in combat).



Question on the above rulings,
Psyche!´s original wording was "at the end of a combat" and was considered to be played "after combat"/outside of combat (references in the linked rulings below),
is this to be taken as a ruling that "at the end of combat" no longer means "after combat"?

The question isn’t about Psyche! but about the ruling Ankha gave for the meaning and timing of the phrasing “at the end of combat”.

LSJ ruled that “at the end of combat” (that was used in the original text of Psyche!) meant and had its timing “after combat”/outside of combat which the below isn’t aligned with.

"At the end of combat" and "when combat ends" were the previous wordings used by the following cards:

"when combat ends":
  • Darkness Within
  • Expiate
  • Imposing Phantasm
  • Molotov Cocktail

"at the end of combat":
  • Blood Brother Ambush
  • Conscripted Statue
  • Coordinate Attacks
  • Escaped Mental Patient
  • Horrid Reality
  • Illusions of the Kindred
  • Lorenzo Detuono
  • Psyche!
  • Taunt the Caged Beast
  • Trap
  • Violet Tremain
  • Yawp Court

This timing is a bit of a grey zone. For some cards, it's not in combat (Psyche! or Coordinate attacks), for some others it's still in combat but not after: for instance, a vampire created by Illusions of the Kindred who is burned in combat could either be burned (in combat) or removed from the game by IotK's cardtext (the player's choice). Or an Escaped Mental Patient could be saved for a fraction of second by Heaven's Gate (a combat card) before being burned again "at the end of combat".
For others, it doesn't seem to matter (gaining blood from Taunt the Cage Beast).
Finally, for some, there's probably a loophole (could Yawp Court's damage be prevented?)

So technically, "at the end of combat" and "when combat ends" are handled before "after combat" (or at worse, at the same time).
Some cards have already been changed to make the distinction between cards played in combat (Psyche! is now "if combat is about to end", which is the last stop before the combat ends for real). Others have been left with the older wording.

To make things clear, here are the correct timings:

Now "after combat ends":
  • Blood Brother Ambush: errata
  • Conscripted Statue: had been already errated by LSJ
  • Darkness Within: already in print
  • Escaped Mental Patient: errata, + reversal on the Heaven's Gate vs EMP ruling
  • Expiate: errata
  • Horrid Reality: errata
  • Illusions of the Kindred: errata
  • Imposing Phantasm: errata
  • Lorenzo Detuono: errata
  • Molotov Cocktail: errata
  • Taunt the Caged Beast: errata
  • Trap: errata
  • Violet Tremain: errata
  • Yawp Court: errata

Now "if combat is about to end":
  • Coordinate Attacks: errata
  • Psyche!: already in print

Found another ruling from LSJ where he explicitly states the timing window of Psyche! (old wording: at the end of a combat) and Jalal Sayad (old wording: after completing combat) are the same.

Psyche! has been ruled to be played after combat, as stated many times
already, yes.
After combat has the same timing as after combat, yes.



Ankha can you please confirm that your ruling in this thread changes the timing of "at the end of combat" and "after combat" to be two different once and overrules previous rulings.

"At the end of combat" can mean different things, for instance it can happen during combat ( EMP vs Heaven's Gate ):

So my ruling is only about Lorenzo Detuono. I'm working on the different cases, but this is still in progress.
