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...

<<Looking like the elf waiter at the Council of Elrond :roll: rolling his eyes thinking, "Why don't you just put a gemstone on the darn thing to make it like a lesser magic ring?">>

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, ...

Re: Draft of CoE Digest #200 Q12 - Half-orcs and covert companies when playing FW - Open until August 27th

I will agree to the Council on this to make it simple for the game. My argument is that a lone Half-orc has no "Man" friend to cause doubt to the viewer to give a quick comparison. That is when the hobbits were in Bree and seeing these half-orcs, there were in doubt that the person was any...

Re: Draft of CoE Digest #200 Q8 - Flatter a Foe + Foolish Words - Open until August 27th

O' Valar let me not say foolish things now. Good news; both cards come from the same set and adjacent in the alphabetical order; so maybe the creators hoped our debate would be avoided. It is true that all the game's influence attempts affect a table card? (item, faction, character) already on the t...

Re: Draft of CoE Digest #200 Q2 - Siege - Open until August 27th

I agree with the ruling posted here. Always felt Siege was made to add danger to the free/border holds forcing an attack no matter the choice to enter. About River; IMHO, River gives the player an option to pause the beginning of the site phase to first tap a Ranger. Then I think Siege is activated....

Re: Draft of CoE Digest #200 Q1 - Declaring that you move to a site already in play - Open until August 27th

This is an issue I like to see posted when it would play heavily on the outcome of a game. Like to see more game notes on this forum. 1. The ruling would impact how many companies are allowed per turn. If no more than two companies are allowed, then this is simple. If no specific site card has to be...

Re: 781-play-Thrain

First 11 turns in the Red Book. Only 2 players (ex Smeagol, Thorongil) yet to exhaust. Lord Thrain is one of the two. Only one company for first six turns. Avatar played on Turn 7. Thrain is alone at Wondrous Maps in Horse Plains; other dwarves went to Ered Lithui for giant ally. Mornaugrim now in h...

Re: 771-play-Elrond

The Halfelven is doing a bit subpar. Avatar played on Turn 4. First deck exhausted during Turn 10. 10 MPs in the pile. Only 3 sites used for table cards. 27 strikes rolled with 10 body checks with no deaths. Miruvor saved an elf on Turn 1. Wounds caused first four turns to be mellow. Elrond sent elv...
