Indûr Dawndeath

[Ûvatha]

Hello,

When Indûr Dawndeath is played as a permanent event and then tapped in a company's MH fase, can he force the discard of an item that is beared by a wounded character in another company, since his card states: On any character, and not on any character in a given company ?

Thanks in advance.

If "any" has any meaning, then yes.
I'd say yes.

what about this:

hazards may target company (or entity associated with this company) only during this company movement hazard phase.

i don´t know the correct ruling, but there is a text somewhere that states that a given hazard can´t target specifically a character whose movement/hazard phase has already been resolved, or is yet upon to be resolved.
In the same case, you could tap Adunaphel in a movement/hazard phase to tap a character from a different company whose m/h phase has not been resolved, which doesn´t make sense.

Indur's card text says

If played as a permanent‐event, it will remain in play until tapped during the opponent’s movement/hazard phase (tapping counts against the hazard limit). When tapped, Indûr Dawndeath becomes a short-event and makes any wounded character discard an item (but not a ring).

Given the text's formulation, I'd say he has a general effect on all characters in play, he seems to have no target then.

Unique. Nazgul (7th). May be played as a hazard creature (with one strike) or as a permanent-event. As a creature, may also be played keyed to Brown Lands, Dagorlad, Gorgoroth, and Western Mirkwood; and may also be played at sites in these regions. If played as a permanent-event, it will remain in play until tapped during the opponent's movement/hazard phase (tapping counts against the hazard limit). When tapped, Adunaphel becomes a short-event and causes any one character to tap.

Unique. Nazgul (4th). May be played as a hazard creature (with one strike) or as a permanent-event. As a creature, may also be played keyed to Harondor, Imlad Morgul, Gorgoroth, and Khand; and may also be played at sites in these regions. If played as a permanent-event, it will remain in play until tapped during the opponent's movement/hazard phase (tapping counts against the hazard limit). When tapped, Indur Dwandeath becomes a short-event and makes any wounded character discard an item (but not a ring).

hazards may target company (or entity associated with this company) only during this company movement hazard phase.

well, if indur has to be interpreted the same as adunaphel, this ruling must be applied to both of them i think...

this is being discussed in this other topic:

so this will all resume to what? that either indur or adunaphel affect a character only during the movement/hazard phase of the company he belongs to.

hehe, good question...  :roll:

How about rule: card's text has priority over general rules?

Example:

General rule:

In order to cancel an attack or to directly affect an attack, the character doing so must be in the company facing the attack.

Card's text:

Playable on Hoarmûrath the Ringwraith (as your Ringwraith). Cancel an attack against any one of your companies.  ...with his far-stretched right hand...great evil in the North.-LotR

Underile mine.

Majagua, i don't really know what to think but i guess that your supposition is correct...

Sometimes general rules makes certain restrictions and a card makes some extentions to these restrictions.
Examples are a Malady Without Healing that targets character at the same site (normally you cannot target opponent's characters with your own resources), or Exhalation of Decay that targets a card in DP (normally a target must be in play).

Possible interpretations are:
- word "any" used in some Nazgul card's is serial mistake and as such should be ignored,
- word "any" used in some Nazgul card's should be respected likewise in case Hoarműrath Unleashed.

Otherwise ignoring it in case of Nazguls and respecting in case of Hoarműrath Unleashed would be inconsistensy.

There is also Adunaphel The Rinwraith...

CRF:
Hazards may only be played on a company whose movement/hazard phase is being resolved, or on the site they are moving to. Long-events and permanent-events may effect more than one company even though they are only played "on" one company.

CRF:
If a Nazgûl is tapped to become a short-event as printed on its card, it turns into a short-event upon declaration. At this point, the Nazgûl is a short-event just as if had been played as such from your hand.

So it's like a short event being played from your hand.  So it must be played on a company who's M/H Phase it is.
