	I Mind Control Buy my opponents Sentinel Spider Buy then during his turn, he attacks me with another Sentinel Spider Buy. I block his attacking Sentinel Spider Buy with the one I used Mind Control Buy on but then I cast Disperse Buy targeting my Mind Control Buy. Do both Sentinel Spider Buys die and I get the Mind Control Buy back? AND ALSO, Can I target at tapped permanent with a "tap target permanent, it doesn't untap...." spell?

	Here is what I think happens. First, you need to cast your disperse before damage is dealt after you declare your spider as a blocker. The spell resolves and your opponent gains back control of his spider. It is removed from combat, but his attacking spider is still considered blocked. So you don't get hurt, but your opponent now has two spiders. Quotes taken from http://wizards.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/500/~/magic%3A-the-gathering%3A-phases-and-steps-in-a-turn Quote:506.4. A permanent is removed from combat if it leaves the battlefield, if its controller changes, if an effect specifically removes it from combat, if it's a planeswalker that's being attacked and stops being a planeswalker, or if it's an attacking or blocking creature that regenerates (see rule 701.11) or stops being a creature. A creature that's removed from combat stops being an attacking, blocking, blocked, and/or unblocked creature. A planeswalker that's removed from combat stops being attacked. Quote:510.2. Second, all combat damage that's been assigned is dealt simultaneously. This turn-based action doesn't use the stack. No player has the chance to cast spells or activate abilities between the time combat damage is assigned and the time it's dealt. This is a change from previous rules. And finally, yes you can target a tapped creature with a spell that says to tap target creature, it doesn't untap. Unless the card specifically says you can't target a tapped creature.
