Yes, it was just an amusing thought, not a realistic or thematic one. :)

Ah, yes, that was directed to Joe. :) just had another amusing idea - what if the attack could be initiated by any character at the same site rather than one specifc to bearer's own company? You could choose one of your own characters and go for the kill points. But then you'd get the inverted Usrie...

"Untap a character" vs "Take any agent"

If there's more than one tapped character in the Wizard's company is the character chosen at declaration?

If you're worried about the hobbit involvement, wouldn't it be better to make it that the attacker couldn't be a hobbit? Also, I like Thorsten's input on the discard/stored aspect and the idea of it not having to be the covert diplomat who bears the items. They just have to tap to transfer. What I d...

I don't mind either way regarding the untapping issue, other than it should not be relieved by Hall of Fire. If it's easier to just to prohibit all untapping then I'd be fine with that.

Alone means without allies.

So, I think we're done.

As to the original question, yes I do believe the secondary effect is playable versus minion. Konrad has demonstrated this sufficiently. Since the card allows you to search through your play deck, it will always have a potential effect -- you have to shuffle your play deck after searching through it...

LE rules wrote:Unless stated otherwise, a card is playable only if its effect applies to an existing situation, hazard, attack, etc. (i.e., you may not play a card just to discard it). A card cannot be played for no effect. A card may be played if it has potential effect.

Well, look at it this way, if he was trying to play Smoke Rings for no effect and you put Bane down in response, you just did him a favour by fizzling the card. Otherwise, he'd be taking Smoke Rings back to hand.

What happens if Bane of The Ithil-Stone is played in response to Smoke Rings (and no resources/characters are in SB). Will be Smoke Rings returned to its player hand as played for no effect? Ah but that's a different situation. The player isn't trying to play Smoke Rings for no effect. That eventua...

Yes, that seems fine to me Konrad, as long as there's an agent in your PD. The point I'm trying to make is a player cannot play a card for no effect. Take the entry for Morgul Horse in the crf as an example: · The alternative effect of this card can be played and resolved before any Nazgûl is played...

Ok, a specific agent is not the target at declaration. Instead it is chosen at resolution. So therefore, secondary effect can be played vs minion since specific agent isn't being targeted. Right? But... You still can't play Inner Cunning and Nobody's Friend for no effect. If Inner Cunning said: &quo...

It's always handy to have the card text. ;) Permanent-event or Short-event As a permanent-event, playable on a face-down agent who was brought into play this turn. When the agent is revealed, and if his home site is a Shadow-hold or a Dark-hold, the site where he came into play (which is not represe...

By the way, does a lone Adunaphel mean without allies, e.g. Black Horse, Blackbole, etc? That might be a shame, no?

Being tapped doesn't inherently prevent he victim from attacking Adunaphel. If the enchanted victim is a single character company then they can freely engage Adunaphel (although prowess will at -1 for being tapped). If the enchanted character is part of a bigger company then Adunaphel will always ha...
