When you bounce aragorn as the first card played in the character draft, can you then play Strider as the next card?
*** Yes. -------- Can you play a card from your hand in response to the exhaustion of your own deck? IE: Can you play longbottom leaf in response to exhausting your deck, so that you can put 2 cards more onto the deck before you exhaust?
*** No. Exhausting your deck and all related actions are done one after the other, and cannot be interrupted. -------- Can you play minor items at havens, even though it is not listed as minor items playable? I'm not referring to special items. Also, do special items tap the site, and if so, does that mean other special items cannot be played there after?
*** You can play minor items at a haven if you first play a resource at the haven that would potentially tap the site. Special items tap sites, including havens, when played, unless otherwise specified on the card. Any resource that requires you to tap the site, even a haven, requires that the site is untapped when you play it. -------- If I've read the rules correctly, haven cards (tapped or not) go back to the site-pile when the company leaves the haven. I suppose they don't remain tapped in the pile...?
*** No card remains tapped once it is removed from play. -------- The reason Brian ruled that the Orc/Troll doesn't make the company overt is that he also ruled that the ally does not get a race, so the quote above will not take affect, as the ally is considered to be of no race.
Or is this overturning that ruling as well?
*** I'm overturning that ruling as well. -------- If you play something like Leaf Brooch at Lorien, it taps the site. How then can the site be untapped? Does bringing a new character out at the site untap it? I sure wouldn't think so. But maybe there is something I am missing here. I thought the only way to untap a haven is to leave it and come back to it.
*** When you split companies at a haven, you may bring in a new, untapped copy of the haven for the new company. You are required, however, to have one of the companies move away from a site if the company splits during the organization phase. -------- How True Fana works when used against an attack of minion company ? And about Sacrifice Of Form .... I think this one is easier to work with.
*** CRF 15, Turn Sequence Rulings, Site Phase, Company vs. Company Combat: True Fána and Sacrifice of Form cannot be used in company versus company combat. -------- I play "Pallando the soul-keeper" as permanent event. At some part of the game my oppenent plays an agent with less than 5 mind and I respond by Withdrawn to Mordor and discarding Pallando. Am I right in supposing that the Agent is eliminated?
*** Agents played as hazards are hazards. Agents played as characters are minions. You cannot use Pallando the Soul-keeper to eliminate a hazard agent. -------- can a carrion birds be played following dunlending raiders?
*** Keying a hazard to a region by name is not equivalent to keying the hazard to the region by type, so no.
