It seems common prcatice to discard a Wizards Trove after the succesful paly of the White Tree in order to fulfill the requirement of Echoes of the Song. Looking again at the card I would say, that the White Tree is only 1 MP then, because there is no Stage Card in play that states the opposite. Am I right and we misplayed this one all the time or do I miss something?

in my oppinion, you are right. All cards are worth 1MP unless a given stage resource (or Fallen-wizard's ability) modifies its value. Since Trove isn't in play anymore, the tree is worth 1 mp again

I agree with Marcos.
The game is flawed, but this does not mean it cannot be loved.

Okay, do you also agree that it was misplayed in the past or was it only my very personal impression?

And from this moment Minas Tirith counts as Haven for the purposes of playing hazards and healing.
We will not speak of such things even in the morning of the Shire.

RIGHT! That is supercool, if somebody builds a deck to exploit this I buy him a beer!

It could have been misplayed by someone, but my own personal oppinion that wasn't such a commonly scene situation, at least, i've never seen that happening

Hmm... maybe playing a Minas Tirith squat deck (factions, palantir, choice of luthien, rotk, fealty sworn...) w/ a roadblock tapping site hazard strategy (DoN+long winter and/or foul fumes) would do: once Minas Tirith becomes a [-me_ha-] for the purpose of interpreting hazards it would become immune to Long Winter and Foul Fumes, and your opponent couldn't harass you anymore w/ assassins. ;)

It becomes a Haven for purpose of playing, but not interpreting of hazards, so can be tapped by Long Winter, Foul Fumes, but Lure of Senses and Lure of Creation does not trigger there.
