Flaming Brand and Witchking, Black Captian

[Yrael]

The text of the Witch King: Each Man Skirmishing the minion loses all strength bonuses from weapons.

Does this include strength gained from a weapon's text, as in the case of flaming brand (or ithilian blade as another example should he be roaming)

[Air Power]

I don't have a rulebook quotation on this, but I will say that yes, the gametext strength boost of a weapon is still from that weapon, so it would not apply in the situation described.

[Arcanite]

Cause he's the only enduring one in ovie Block, and i svery hard to beat, unless you're called Durin.

[Yrael]

I don't know why my cousin uses him. He only ever causes 1-2 wounds, and even my men can typically get to a 10-12 if they have to without weapons.

Flaming Brand isn't legal in Movie Block.  The best way to tick off a friend with a love for Witch-Kings might be with Don't Look at Them.  My buddy quit the game because of that card.

I play expanded though, where it's rlisted

Sorry, Arcanite mentioned Movie Block.  I play against Black Captain often.  My exclusively Gondor decks use Noble Leaders, Dervorin, and/or Fortifications to deal with the punk.  I really like Hrethel against Enduring minions, but you can't really splash him.
