I'm pretty sure I asked this before, but I've forgotten what the answer
was. This time, I'm actually making a deck with the card, so I promise
not to forget. ;-)
Bonecraft has what looks like reminder text saying that its side effect
(the minion hit by it has -1/-2 hand damage) doesn't affect the Strike
Resolution step this round. Is it meant to be for the entire round,
or only for the current pair of strikes that the effect isn't working
yet? Thanks,
Josh
really bad at remembering the answers to my own questions

Bonecraft [SAB] - combat (vis) (1)
* The "(This does not affect the Strike Resolution step
this round.)" reminder text on Bonecraft is properly
read as "(This does not affect the current pair of
Strike Resolution steps.)". That is, any additional
strikes after the strike that was annnounced with the
Bonecraft strike will be affected. [LSJ 970224]

Okay, how about if Bonecraft is performed with First Strike?
Would the opponent's first hand strike be affected by a FS
Bonecraft?

I would have said that the opponent's hand strike (assuming that it was
not also dealt with First Strike) would have been affected since it will
occur in a later pair of steps.

Yes. The "pair" are assumed to be resolving simultaneously.
If they are not (one is done at First Strike, for example),
then they resolve in turn, as usual.
Bottom Line: it's just reminder text.
