Re: Gianna di Canneto

Name: Gianna di Canneto
[TU:C]
Cardtype: Ally
Clan: Giovanni
Cost: 1 pool
Unique wraith with 2 life. 1 strength, 1 bleed.
When another of your minions is in combat, Gianna can tap and burn herself to burn any equipment on the opposing minion, or tap during strike resolution to inflict 1 unpreventable damage on the opposing minion.

Can Gianna do her damage if the opposing minion uses a Strike: Combat Ends?

I'd say no, because Drawing out the Beast wouldn't neither.

No. "During strike resolution" means during normal strike resolution, like for Wolf Companion.

Drawing out the Beast isn't relevant as its damage is during the press step.

Can she burn for example a .44 Magnum on the opposing minion after that minion has already maneuvred with it, thereby causing their strike to do no damage?
-thank you for your input.

She can, and the bottom-line would indeed be that the opposing minion's strike would be nothing, resulting in no damage inflicted from the strike.

I just want to be sure about Gianna di Canneto rule.
1) she cannot lock to inflict damage if oposing minion play strike: CE
2) she cannot lock if any of minions in combat strike with first strike and burn,sent torpor,or sent to incapacited region oposing minion
3) she must use his abiliti after both minions declare strike (but not in case about point 1 and 2) but before prevent step.

if all 3 point above correct?

1) Correct, Combat End prevents the resolution of other effects (except Dodge) in the strike resolution windows (rule below)

2) Incorrect, it doesn't say it has to be during the strike resolution of the minion that also controls Gianna di Canneto i.e. Gianna di Canneto can be locked during the strike resolution of the minion striking with first strike and inflict the 1 damage. Ankha will need to confirm this one.
**Update ** was wrong as I based it on old card text.

3) Correct, the ability "...lock during strike resolution to inflict 1..." can only be done after the declaration of strikes as the window of the ability is during strike resolution which comes after. Note the ability to "..lock and burn herself to..." can be used before declaring strikes and resolves immediately.

Rulebook:

Combat Ends: This effect ends combat immediately. This type of strike is always the first to resolve, even before a strike done with first strike (see First Strike), and it ends combat before other strikes or other strike resolution effects are
