Re: Here, there or yonder ... exploits?

"Here, There, or Yonder says "Tap a character during his site phase a tapped or untapped [-me_rl-]". If it would say "Tap a character at a tapped or untapped [-me_rl-]", then someone would say that it "explicitly" requires site phase because it does not say explic...

Re: Here, there or yonder ... exploits?

Thanks for all this clarification. One issue I have with MECCG is I like to spend a lot of spare time thinking about unusual strategies etc - but don't want to waste this recreational thinking if it is based on missunderstanding. I think 'Here, there or yonder' may be an underused card but one that ...

Re: Clear skies - affects minion characters as well?

"There are a few cards which depend on Gates/Doors to be played but then remain in play (and in effect) if the corresponding card leaves play. This same question comes up for Morgul Night as well. The cards that lose their effect will state something like "discard when Doors of Night leave...

Re: Clear skies - affects minion characters as well?

Yes, this is the clarification I thought - thanks for confirming.

One thing occurs to me is that you could use Clear Skies in an 'environmental resource swamping' tactic, that basically limits the usefullness of Twilight to the hazard player. I will need to think on this.

Re: Clear skies - affects minion characters as well?

Will not be discarded if Gates of Morning will leave play. "Fizzle" means that condition of some action existed in play at its declaration and did not exist at its resolution. I guess I am saying will not be discarded and still be effective . So if GoM leaves play (e.g. the opponent plays...

Clear skies - affects minion characters as well?

Clear skies states: " Environment. Playable only if Gates of Morning is in play. The prowess of each character is modified by +2." OK, Clear Skies is a card I have long felt was pretty weak, as it affects both your opponents companies as well as yours. However, should it affect minion comp...

Re: Here, there or yonder ... exploits?

OK, to summarise all this: the consensus seems to be the 'Here, there or yonder' does allow a unique ally (e.g. Quickbeam) to be played at a ruins&layers he/she/it would be able to normally move to - even though the ally card says playable at a specific site (e.g. Wellinghall), as when something...

Re: Here, there or yonder ... exploits?

Ok, lets see if I understand this. The text of the card states: "An ally may be played ...." While Quickbeam card says: "Playable only at Wellinghall" So, we know Quickbeam can move anywhere. For me the word 'playable' is a prerequisite for 'played'. Something cannot be played un...

Re: Here, there or yonder ... exploits?

"Here, There, or Yonder does not make an ally playable at a site, it allows to play an ally at a site." Thanks for this. OK, if I understand what you are saying, this means 'Here, there or yonder' is a completely useless card? It cannot be used to bring in many allies as they are linked t...

Here, there or yonder ... exploits?

From the wording of the text on 'Here, there or yonder' I am guessing an ally can be brought in at a ruins&layers even if it is not near the normal playable site as long as the ally can move in that region. So, Quickbeam - normally only playable at Wellinghall - can be played at, for example, th...

Re: Rivendell Lego Huge set is coming

At £400+ this is a really expensive set of Lego. I could only justify buying it on the grounds I could sale it later and get my money back. However, this can only apply if the set is never opened. So it is a situation of no buy - I would want to actually open and build the model, which would reduce ...

Re: Barrow Blade - played during site phase at a ruins & lairs

OK, just read this in the rules: "A company may not play any resource during the site phase until they have faced all automatic-attacks, unless that resource directly affects an automatic-attack. Removing an automatic-attack does not directly affect it, although cancelling does." So my gue...

Barrow Blade - played during site phase at a ruins & lairs

Here is something that came up in a game yesterday: I moved to a ruins&lairs to play 'barrow blade'. Text reads: "Tap the bearer of a dagger of westernesse during the site phase at a ruins & lairs and play this withthe dagger". This is a permanent event, not an item. So it is the s...

Good point. Starting to think now a fake ring deck could be nice.

I guess you could disgard leaf brooch instead of a gold ring before it is tested. Still no good for a dwarven ring though as it is a special item.
