blind rage doesn't trigger ready to strike

ready to strike is a melee card that doesn't trigger damage by blind rage at the start of round. bug

 

Rage triggers on Attack cards, and Ready is a Boost (orange, not red).

 

it says melee slashing on the card. nowhere on the card does it say trait, which is implied i guess.

 

Attack cards are Red, Traits are Orange

 

It's more akin to a block that plays itself. Which is why I bring Impeccability against the Haunted Armors in the new release. The damage type is slashing, but it isn't an attack. It is a reaction to their action, which is unblockable, because it isn't an attack.
Players play attacks. You can't attack an opponent with the Barbed Platemail you're wearing, but it they attack they may feel the effect.
