Re: Draft of CoE Digest #202 Q4 - Await the Advent of Allies

First, emoji is not a response right? Second, reviewing the MEDM player's guide; card statements made were to save general influence, wizardless deck, and/or to play one faction. Likely at the end of the game since there would be no next turn for the player that would use-up general influence. My th...

Re: Offsite Deck Build Helper

Updated Version now available. Not expected to updated unless dreamcard rarities are given or much more decks to add. What is new? Lookup table adds card type and card alignment. Moved all UL set cards to the bottom so not to be in lookup functions. Fixed some rarities; LE manifestations given TW ra...

Re: 2023 Hero "Fifa World Cup" tournament

Good to see a full boat. I was going to register tomorrow if there was room. Alas, I will let my novel deck sleep a bit more. When it awakes, the Sun and Moon will be shaken and the old ways of MECCG will crumble. Bold? yes.

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...

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.
