Re: Imaginary Problem: Playing short-events for no effect

Can Call of Home be played if opponent has 20 unused General Influence?
What about playing Lost in Border-lands if moving through a single border-land?

Re: Ioreth And Well-Preserved

I question that the minion resource gives a healing effect; unless this has been decided. Unless, moving a character from a wounded status to tapped or untapped in totality is healing. Yet, in the PDF Middle-Earth Universal Rules Document 4.2 under "Tapping/Untapping a Card: "Untapping eff...

Re: 782-play Thorin

Orc-Guard uses In Darkness Bind Them to be keyed to Harondor during Turn 10. Later that turn, Dragon’s Desolation and Daelomin were in hand, but the new site was minion Ettenmoors Lord Thorin played on Turn 1. He accessed the sideboard for the first four turns. The Riddle Caves were tapped that turn...

Rolled 23 strikes, 4 bc, 3 cc. Half of cards taken to hand are played. Exhausted during Turn 10. Wizard’s Staff only sign...

Will also search the buried library of Ost-in-Edhil and the abandon shores of Lond Daer
for Worlds' Winning Decks and put them too in the file. Will keep any mithril coins found.

Re: METW/METD-only Cardnum tournament

Idea for a challenge for seasoned players and to get new players into tournaments. Not seasoned myself, but making METW-->METD or --> MEDM decks to play with new players. Thus, I have these decks already made. Idea is to grant another group of points to game winners based on the cards' rarity. You c...

Re: Draft of CoE Digest #201 Q5 - In the Heart of his Realm - Open until September 24th

Great explanation on this card.
Sage skill returns when ITHOHR is no longer in play. Logic is the same with magic rings. Ring gives bearer the skill while controlled.

Re: Rethinking The Low-HL Company

Yes, I think I ran or slammed into such a deck at a tournament; kept creatures in my hand instead of direct deposit the creature card into other's MP pile. Now, I think that such a large company must avoid potential multi,high prowess attacks such as dragon ahunts unless you plan to kill, cancel, or...

Re: Draft of CoE Digest #200 Q9 - Sacrifice of form and similar cards - Open until August 27th

I agree. Mainly on the fact of gaining a benefit of the resource player discarding wounded characters freeing GI or to play a character on the next turn instead of discarding a character. Plus to not gain the benefit of having a wizard arrive safe at a haven with Dreams of Lore, Reforging, Anduril, ...
