Fallen Wizards and playing Orcs

Bandobras Took · Post by **Bandobras Took** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 11:05 pm

In the character draft, must an appropriate stage card be played before any orcs/trolls can be played, or can orcs be played so long as by the end of the draft you have appropriate cards for them?

You need the stage card first.

Note that you can play Orcs and Trolls by playing "Thrall of the Voice" before

Thrall of the Voice:

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.

This card overrides the normal playablity restrictions of characters. So you can play an agent without "Open to the Summons" in your starting company and also an Orc or Troll without "Bad Company".

The keyword here is "normal"...every character that possibly could (by any means) be played can be played. The only restriction to be met is that character needs to have a maximum mind of 6.

Several Fallen-Radagast/Pallando decks make use of this card by playing a Troll-Chief (6 mind) at the Etten-moors (w/ Hidden Haven) along with Thrall of the Voice and a Blazon of the Eye to get all 3 faction playable there for 10 MP out of a haven for 5 min...that's quite hard to beat...

It's 9 MP, since the CRF states that FW's get 1 MP for the 3 factions played on a leader thing.

Or were you referring to the Guarded Haven they play as well?

Don't forget long Greivous Sieges.

6 Faction
2 Char
1 Hidden Haven
2 Sieges

12 MPs hard to beat

Not too hard . . . Jambo's got a Fallen Gandalf deck that could probably get rid of the Troll Chief by turn two.

If you influence those factions with a leader they go under the control of the leader and do not tap the site.

is it possible to do so on a tapped site??

Sauron_the_Great · Post by **Sauron_the_Great** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 7:20 pm

there is a difference between "does not tap the site" and "playable at a tapped site"...

so I think you need the untapped site...

Sauron · Post by **Sauron** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 8:18 pm

This is not possible on a tapped site afaik

Lord Leuber · Post by **Lord Leuber** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 8:33 pm

CRF: Unless otherwise stated, you need an untapped site to play a faction, item or ally.

Nothing is stated on any of the cards involved, so the site needs to be untapped.
