Where is the ruling stating a FW player may not include characters or agents with 6 mind or greater in their deck? I do not see this stated in the URD, MEWH insert, or anywhere else.

The most obvious alternative to the CoE ruling which would be consistent (and better matching the descriptions) with CRF and CoL Tournament policy is: The main deck is constructed of only avatar characters. The draft pool is constructed with up to 10 non-avatar characters. A non-draft pool is const...

There's no such thing as "Deep Wilderness" in any of the rules, updates or erratum. From a lore perspective, I get it, but I've never heard of or played with others who interpreted hazards "requiring two wilderness in site path", 3x Wilderness, 2x Shadowland, etc. ever requiring ...

When Alatar uses his special ability he must face a strike. Alatar overrides all other effects pertaining to the assigning of strikes. Alatar must teleport and declare he is facing a strike before any other strikes are assigned. (Fallen) Alatar's card specifically states when his teleport ability m...

I would disagree here - by tapping the Bow you forced the attacker to give up the choice of assignment for one of the strikes. The opponent had to assign one to Alatar - effectively the Bow cut the effects of the 'attacker chooses defending characters' ability in half. It seems like you're assuming...

Hombarus - I appreciate your point of view and challenging the established rules. There are many times I have also disagreed with certain rulings and felt as if the CRF and erratum updates have steered MECCG toward a competitive meta-game type of play that favors specific avatars and a narrow subset...

A cards/effects that cancel an attack also do not state the they may be declared only before strikes are assigned. A cards/effects that change a number a strikes also do not state the they may be declared only before strikes are assigned. Many Foes He Fought does not state explicitly that it may be...

There are several cards that explicitly state they must be played/enacted before strikes are assigned from every expansion prior to MEWH. -More sense than you -Gold chains in the wind -All the bells ringing -Helm of her secrecy -Noble hound -Motionless among the slain -Sojourn in shadows Bow of Alat...

Interesting, thanks for looking that up!

BOW OF ALATAR ‐ Permanent‐event (R) [SP: 2; CP: 1] Unique. Alatar specific. Place this card on Alatar if he is in play. If on Alatar, you may tap Bow of Alatar to allow him to face a strike from an attack against his company regardless of the attackʹs normal capabilities and his status. If such a s...

The Dragons, Manifestations of Dragons wrote: Only your opponent can receive marshalling points from defeating a manifestation of a Dragon that you played. Key part is in bold. It could be argued that the text doesn't specify whether the attack created by the PE SotM is an attack of the manifestati...

If My Precious attacks and fails but is not defeated, the defender may tap a character in the target company to play Gollum (My Precious is discarded) Theo - Was it our last match where I wanted to do exactly this in my Balrog game vs. you but with Minion Stinker? That may have swung the points qui...

Last few that I compared

Some were just slightly different:

Here's some comparisons with Japanese versions that I recently picked up. Some cards were extremely noticeable, to the point where I almost didn't even recognize the card. Others, looked about the same. I have a handful of Dutch packs as well and pulled those copies I had for comparison as well. Ove...
