Can Haymaker be played by a blocking minion after the acting minion has chosen their strike?

Is Haymaker itself a strike card and therefore cancellable by Anticipation?

Haymaker
Warning: Spoiler!


"Play after range is determined."
This is not a strike card.
This card should only be played before strikes.

It's a card that would give you a strike, but it's not a strike card.
It's more in line with Zip gun.

So then you mean "yes" to my question?
> Can Haymaker be played by a blocking minion after the acting minion has chosen their strike?

That'd mean it's playable anytime after ranged is determined and before your strike is chosen. Is that right?

Yes, that is the window for playing Haymaker according to card text.
The wording 'initial strike' also seems to imply that you can not keep it as a surprise for additional strikes.

No, the strike phase is not the same as determining the range phase.

Phase 2 is range determination; phase 4 is strike.
See the rulebook for more info; here is the snippet:

Play Haymaker at the end of phase 2.

It does not say it must be played at the end of phase 2.

It says it must be played after phase 2.

It does not say it must be played during phase 3.

What prevents it from being played in phase 4?
