Hey folks,
I was wondering whether that freakin 3MP-site Undergalleries could be worth full MP for a fallen-wizard when using a wizards trove. On the one hand I always thought no, because its no misc. MP card that you carry around with you. On the other hand I was reading through the under-galleries today and found the sentence "Consider this card stored". So it is a storable miscellanous MP card... help?
Undergalleries for fallenwizards?

Alternatively, you may store one miscellaneous marshalling point card at one of your Wizardhavens. Any reference to the site where the card can normally be stored are transferred instead to the Wizardhaven. Place Wizard's Trove with the stored card which is worth full marshalling points.

*** No and no. The card must be normally storable. The "full marshalling points" that the misc. MP card is worth is referring to more than the normal 1 MP that FW normally receive for non-stage cards. This does not mean that it is worth more than what it would be worth to a non-FW player.
Granted that the ruling on Wizard's Trove is bizarre considering that the card flat out allows you to store one miscellaneous marshalling point card at one of your havens (with no reference to it normally being storable), you still have to actually store the card for Wizard's Trove to kick in. Under-Galleries merely goes in your MP pile and is considered to be stored, even if you didn't store it. Which brings up the interesting point:Stolen Knowledge. When Under-galleries would be placed in your discard pile, place it in your marshalling points pile instead for 3 marshalling points-this card is considered stored.
Does this mean that the FW player receives no marshalling points for Under-Galleries, since it was not stored at a Wizardhaven?MEWH wrote:You do not receive marshalling points for cards stored at non-Wizardhaven sites.
The game is flawed, but this does not mean it cannot be loved.

It is one of many cases where wording makes a difference. And I would say that it is correctly worded.MEWH wrote:You do not receive marshalling points for cards stored at non-Wizardhaven sites.
The Under-Galleries is not stored at any site, thus it is not stored at non-Wizardhaven site. So MPs are granted.
If the rule would be worded:
"You do not receive marshalling points for cards not stored at Wizardhaven sites." then The Under-Galleries would not give MP.
P.S. It is like:

but you may not start a character with a mind greater than 5.
However, you may not start Orc and Troll characters unless you start with an
appropriate stage resource card (e.g., Bad Company).
"but you may not start a character with a mind greater than 5" does not preclude Wizard (no mind is no greater than 5 mind), "with up to a 6 mind" precludes Wizard (as he has not mind).Thrall of the Voice wrote:Instead of a normal character, during your organization phase you may bring into play one character (including a minion agent) with up to a 6 mind. Place this card with the character. -1 to his mind to a minimum of 1. Such a character may also be in your starting company. ...for those who it conquered the spell endured when they were far away...-LotRIII
We will not speak of such things even in the morning of the Shire.

That makes sense to me.
