It does not press for another round. If LSJ says otherwise, then it wouldn't be different from untapping her and rushing the same minion with another card. She's a beaut, isn't she? I mean, behind all that red stuff covering her face... OW

[ quoted text not captured ] Ability: If Smallpox successfully inflicts hand damage in consecutive rounds of a combat, the opponent gets a pox counter. Psyche Card Text: Press. Only usable at the end of a combat when both combatants are still ready. Enter combat with the opposing minion. This is a new combat. This is a new combat, so, in a word, no. ~m
