LSJ Winged Second and prevention

[Odrich Wendergass]

In this month's Gargoyle Newsletter (Thanks, Jesse!), the readers made
some comments about Winged Second.

Winged Second
Type: Reaction
Requires: Flight
[FLIGHT] Only usable when another minion you control enters combat with
a minion without flight. Tap this minion. In that combat, this minion
may make a hand or melee weapon strike (with or without a strike card)
on the opposing minion during normal strike resolution (as if at close
range). Dodge will avoid this strike, and damage prevention effects can
treat this as a strike from an opposing minion. This minion may be the
target of effects that inflict damage or steal blood as a retainer
could be.

Theoretical situation:
Stanislava bleeds Ublo-Satha's controller.
Ublo-Satha wakes and blocks; she subsequently enters combat.
Saxum (with Depravity) plays Winged Second and enters combat as well.
Ublo plays Torn Signpost, Raking Talons then IG. Handstrike (3 agg).
Saxum makes a handstrike. (2 normal).

If Stanislava prevents the damage with Rolling with the Punches, does
she need to play two of the card? WS suggests that there will be two
sources of "opposing minion's strikes", hence two strikes from two
minions are present.

Rolling with the Punches
Type: Combat
Requires: Fortitude
[for] Prevent 1 damage.
[FOR] This vampire burns 1 blood to prevent all damage from the
opposing minion's strikes this round of combat.

LSJ? :)

Note: Saxum doesn't actually enter combat.

Urgh. My bad.

Thanks, though, LSJ.
