I don't think you can summarily dismiss it this quickly. All four cards I called out take the same form: "Do x modified by y" where y is a function of the distance from start to finish. X can be different (and no one is debating that they aren't) but I fail to see why the process for count...

To lend support to Konrad's argument -- every ability to play RW Followers in MELE set (Witch-King, Khamul, They Ride Together) specifies that the follower is to be played in the organization phase. There would be no need to do this if RW follower play followed the rules for bringing a character in...

Caverns Unchoked Crack in the Wall Gnawed Ways Secret Entrance But you're asking the wrong question. The real question is whether being unable to apply a modifier invalidates an entire card, and the answer is clearly no. Those are not representative examples as they do not use regions in the resolu...

A bit late to this party, but: 1. If Pallando is at an Under-deeps site, there are no regions between him and the site, so the number of regions subtracted is zero. Likewise, if Pallando attempts to influence a character at an Under-deeps site through the use of this card, zero would also be subtra...

No disagreements. Just providing reference to a prior ruling to backup the position that you can play 1, 2, or all 3 in the same turn. ICE Rules Digest #23 from Ichabod: 2. If that is the case, you need minimum 8 GI free. But that’s not all. You can only play one character per site per turn... so yo...

I would suggest that we consider other conditional short-events when looking at this ruling as well. To be consistent, the definition of "later" must be "after the card resolves" in all cases. In essence, this ruling creates a standard whereby the validity of a short-event is che...

I agree with Mordakai here. Underdeep sites are not located in any region so counting is not possible. The text of Hour of Need explicitly anticipates this question by stating that you cannot use it if your influencing character is at an underdeep site. Regrettably this is not written in Prophet of...

"You cannot determine what the modifier is and, hence, cannot complete the instructions on the card." I can. Does not exist. Make errata, do not stretch a logic. Original texts of Gwaihir, Eagle-mounts do not prevent them from allowing for special movement to/from under-deeps. There's no ...

What if there is nothing to subtract? What makes a check impossible is absence of value to which the result of roll is compared, not a lack of modifier. In the rules digest, the explicit question was, "can this card be played given that an Underdeeps site has no region?" The answer confir...

Question 1 I don't believe you can influence using Prophet of Doom from the Underdeeps. Underdeeps sites do not have regions so there is no way to count the number of regions between the starting site (which has no region) and the site where the card could be played. A similar question came up for ...

It took me a disturbingly long time to realize that you only need to put one Sudden Call in your sideboard then bring it into your deck when you get down to 10 cards or so.

I don't know why you're arguing with a quote directly from the Rules Digest but this has been a theme recently. I quoted directly from Ichabod's ruling that illustrated that you cannot interrupt a chain of events once it starts resolving. You can resolve the chain then respond to start a new chain b...

Is this referring to Dream cards?

This does raise a question that I'm not clear on. Can you interrupt the resolution of a chain of events? You can't interrupt a card but consider the following: Hazard player (HP): Play Cave-drake Resource player (RP): Responds with Gates of Morning HP: Plays Twilight, targeting the Gates of Morning...

To bring this back to the original question, I do believe the hazard limit would be 9 based on my earlier logic. I thought it might be 10 but, thinking further, I do believe the correct hazard limit would be 9. As for the conversation about "continuous effects", there's not really anything...
