Why isn’t the Cave Troll from MEBA a Troll, and how come it doesn’t make its company overt?

Presumably the answer to this question is that MEBA was published at the very late stage of ICE owning the license, and there wasn’t time for them to fully respond to the evolving meta. But while we can only speculate as to the reasons for that oversight, this committee has decided to add the following cards to the list of allies that make a company overt:

Cave Troll

Evil Things Lingering

Great Troll

Nasty Slimy Thing



Note that this ruling overturns CoE Weekly Rulings Clarifications 16, Q12

I use to play cave-troll in my fallen Alatar deck and i think it's something like a cheat...
Always thought it's really strange those cards doesn't make a company overt.

I think they should be.... this will be more in line with Tolkien's lore

Why Gollum and Stinker are not Hobbits, while My Precious is Hobbit?
Maybe Gollum and Stinker should not be Hobbits?

[Khamul the Easterling]

I support the committee's proposal!
