There is a default limit of how many characters may be brought into play during the organization phase as allowed by the rules. The intent of the statement on Unexpected Party is to communicate that this general limit does not apply to Dwarf characters while Unexpected Party is in play. This is gram...

A New Ringlord.

Evil Things Lingering.

The Balrog (Ally).

RW mode cards.

Padding Feet.

All of these have actions that must be taken when the conditions are met, but the use of "during" allows for the choice of exactly when during the specified window the action will be taken.

Since both specify they happen during a phase, I would treat them as actions declared by a passive condition that must be declared after resolving any actions that must be taken at the beginning of the phase and before declaring any actions that must be taken at the end of that phase. I would also s...

"Drake" was only introduced as a creature type in ME:TD. Cave-Drake serves the purpose of having a non-unique creature that is enhanced by dragon-based hazard events. I don't think ICE ever actually changed the name of any card, so once they had chosen it, they were stuck with it. Similarl...

This seems like the best place to put forth ideas for alternate play, so here goes: An idea struck me this morning -- what if company size were limited not by the number of characters, but by the number of MPs such characters provide? This would provide a less clunky framework for accommodating Bilb...

My question, though, is whether First of the Order can be played during the Free Council at all. Does it count as something that will affect the corruption check, even though there is no end of turn duration during the Free Council?

You're right; I was misreading a couple of sentences.

Hidden Haven would permit it, since at that point Ettenmoors is considered a Wizardhaven. Hidden Haven would have to be played first, however. Playing Resources at a Site —In order to play a non-Fallen-wizard resource that would normally tap a site, either the site and the resource to be played mus...

Hidden Haven would permit it, since at that point Ettenmoors is considered a Wizardhaven. Hidden Haven would have to be played first, however. Edit: There is room for doubt in the common interpretation; Wizardhavens may possibly only be both hero and minion for the purposes of playing cards that wou...

While many real-life issues have sprung up preventing me from participating, I'm fascinated by this idea. The non-existence of An Unexpected Outpost alone would be enough to really shake things up.

That's interesting; that means that even if Pallando is at the same site, the number of regions would be one. Ugh. This card definitely has now made it to my "Could really have been worded better" list. Under-deeps either makes the card not work or would be an instance of zero. I cannot no...

Is there an instance of the number of regions between two sites being zero?

My bad luck rolling dice was not platform-specific. I can roll as hideously on this web-based version as I ever did on GCCG.

Nothing. Nor does there really need to be. Laying aside that this is an optional rule, the massive hurdle to becoming a Fallen Wizard is that the corruption check must be equal to the corruption total or miss by one. If the corruption check succeeds, you don't become a FW. If the corruption check fa...

Uvatha is a good example. He currently asks if a hazard is a creature. If his text were "a hazard that is *only* a creature", then Creature/Event hazards could not be retrieved. Likewise, the FW rule checks for whether a hazard "can only attack/effect minion companies." If a haza...
