Haymaker + Lucky Blow/Undead Strength/etc.

Card text: Haymaker Combat (Common) Play after range is determined. Only usable at close range. Not usable if this minion played a Haymaker last round. This minion's initial strike this round will be a hand strike for strength +1 damage, and the opposing minion's initial strike this round gets first strike. If either minion inflicts more damage than the other this round, that minion gets an optional press this round. Question: Can the hand strike be a Lucky Blow, Undead Strength, Pounce, etc.? I think the answer is yes, since the Haymaker is not itself a strike card, but I couldn't find confirmation. Thx, Pat

No. It says that the strike *will be* a hand strike at strength+1 damage. That's what the strike is. If it were to allow Lucky Blow, it would have to say something like "This minion must make a hand strike, and it is at +1 damage". So, Torn Signpost: Yes. Lucky Blow: No. IANLSJ, but I remember getting official word from him on this somewhere... (obviously not the newsgroup, since "haymaker author:lsj" isn't bringing anything up) Jozxyqk can't sleep
