Spies Feared wrote:Scout or Ranger only. Playable on a Shadow-hold [S] if one of your scouts is there or on a Ruins & Lairs [R] if one of your rangers is there. An automatic-attack is created at the site against minion companies: Orcs-5 strikes with 8 prowess (detainment). Additionally, automatic-attacks at the site are duplicated (including the new one) against all companies. Discard when site is discarded or returned to your location deck.
What is the purpose of this card? Any ideas?

I believe it was meant to work to create an auto attack against your opponents companies....
but as it is quiet often in METW the game has some ruleholes or missconceptions....*G*

I think its quite obvious that the CRF-rule forgot this card.

From a rules-naive point of vue, the card is unmistakable. And thats why I would be angry on any opponent denying me to play it that way if I ever use it in a deck.

I believe the card needs an errata....
Something like an additional sentence that states:
This card affects all versions of the site.

Fallen Wizards can use this card to play War-wolfs at a shadow-hold where they would otherwise be unable to.

Play it on a Dragon's Lair to cancel both auto attacks with Dragon's Hunger and force the discard of creatures?

Ach... and double chance of getting rid of Rank Upon Rank at Tharbad or Redoubled Forces at Moria. :).

P.S. Not mentioning Balrog of Moria and his 5MP...

EDIT:
Corrected language errors. "their" -> "his", "Not mentioning about" -> "Not mentioning".

Hey, that is a nice trick, if your opponent lets you kill the Balrog in the first place. :)
