[LSJ] Damage from a strike and Burst of Sunlight

Hi LSJ, You recently made a ruling that Leather Jacket's "damage from a strike" clause was limited to damage inflicted by the opposing minion. This means that Leather Jacket can't be used to prevent the Burst's damage to the minion that played the card. You said that the damage to the minion who played the Burst was considered "side-effect" damage. From there you agreed that Rev. Blackwood's +1 damage to Thaum strikes only added +1 to the damage that would affect the opposing minion and specifically didn't add +1 to the "side-effect" damage. I could be blind but I wasn't able to track down any ruling from your monthly summaries that stated this. Is the ruling present in your summaries? Is there, or can you make a general ruling that covers this whole damage from a strike vs. side-effect damage issue? -Robert Goudie V:EKN Chairman rrgo...@earthlink.net

[ quoted text not captured ] Hmm. I can't find it in there, either. I'll add a "damage from strike" definition to the rulings list. Thanks. -- L. Scott Johnson (vte...@wizards.com) Official VtES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast. (*) - Subject to review by Rules Team

I am ignorant of a listing of all ruling decisions. I hadn't heard about the leather jacket thing and can't see the logic in it, but be that as it may, can someone please tell me where the listing is?
