Council of Elrond

Permanent Event

Place any Spawn your company defeats with this card. Such Spawn give 2 Kill MPs if they were played by you and full Kill MPs if they were played by your opponent. May not be duplicated as a Virtual Card.

isn't it too easy to get 2 MPs (or even full) for killing The Balrog of Moria?

No.

This card can't be played by Heroes.

FWs won't get MPs from this card because only Stage Resources can modify MPs.

And a minion player might be able to get 2 MPs from the Balrog, provided that their Hero Opponent doesn't take out the Balrog first and that their Minion Opponent isn't the Balrog. Moria's actually a rather dangerous site to go to; it has double wilderness and creatures keyed there are non-detainment.

Basically, this card is meant for a the Balrog (and potentially a RW Under-deeps company if such can move to sites where Spawn attack ). The Balrog could get an extra 2 MPs for toughing out some Balrog-specific Under-deeps sites; might that not provide for a different sort of active Balrog?

ok, you convinced me
