Re: Armory Hoard Bypass
You're misunderstanding my argument, I think. Special Items have no bearing when discussing Armory and Necklace of Girion, because they list their own rules for play. The rules clearly state that Major Items must be played at a site that list Major Items as playable. Necklace of Girion overturns thi...

Re: Armory Hoard Bypass
See also Balrog Rules Summary:
To play an item, the item must either state it is playable at the site, or the site must state that items of that type are playable at the site.

Re: Armory Hoard Bypass
Major Items are not Special Items. There absolutely *is* a correct site for playing major items. If a character is at an untapped site that indicates that a specific type of item card (gold ring, minor, major, or greater) is “playable,” he may tap during the site phase to bring an item of that type ...

Re: Armory Hoard Bypass
Apologies, I missed this before: Elven Cloak would be a case of card vs. card as opposed to card vs. rule. Also, Armory merely modifies the play of an item, not the legal bearer of an item. (Likewise minion Necklace of Girion allows play of Usriev of Treachery at non-hoard sites, but would not allow...

Re: Traitor and the Ring's Betrayal
Sacrifice of Form is playable on an attack against Wizard's Company. Wizard must be discarded at declaration. At resolution, there is no attack against Wizard's company because there is no Wizard's company, so card fizzles. Miruvor must be discarded on declaration, at resolution, there is no bearer'...

Re: Traitor and the Ring's Betrayal
Unfortunately, many cards don't work for precisely that reason. The rules on active conditions for discarding are, generally speaking, self-defeating when actually applied to card texts.

Re: Spying out the Land - infinitely effective
It's part of a large problem with ICE not specifying duration on many cards that need such. Most resource short-events fall into either "instant" or "until the end of the turn," but most are inferred rather than explicitly noted. I believe the intended duration here is "comp...

Re: Draft of CoE Digest #203 Q7 - Carambor + Spying out the lands - Open until January 22
Strong disagree. If a company moves twice in one turn, resources played during the organization phase, like Secret Passage, are reapplied to the company at the beginning of each of their movement/hazard phases, if the conditions of the card are met. Strictly speaking, this rule says that the card is...

Re: User banned
This is wandering off topic as it's now gone from the concrete issue to an abstract one. I feel no need to continue dragging out such a conversation in this particular thread.

Re: User banned
So far as censorship is concerned, be it remembered that *what* somebody says is an entirely different issue from *how* they say it. I voluntarily removed myself from forum activity for several years because of the behavior of the aforementioned person. There are any number of people with whom I hav...

Re: Comprehensive Rules
I'm not certain if the links on the old thread work. I'll PM you a copy, but I wish to emphasize that it is not up to date (it was supposed to be maintained, but that didn't end up happening), nor is it at this point official.

I put one together several years ago, but there have of course been changes. I believe the current Council is working on a new version.

Re: Siege vs eagle mount
There is room for doubt, here. The roll for Siege must happen at the end of the organization phase. Eagle-Mounts must also be played at the end of the organization phase. It would be valid to play Eagle-Mounts before performing the roll for Siege, since both activities are to occur at the end of the...

Re: Saruman's Machinery - playable vs may be played
Playability may exist by rule, by text on the card to be played, or by another card's ability. Saruman's Machinery (and Untimely Brood) create a numbered limit, after which they do not allow playability any more. I would say that Mistress Lobelia cannot search for tech after the one item has been pl...
