Movie Block Definition and X-List

[Faelach]

You are right, Kralik.  That's why I never knew why it would be banned.  It seems like a perfectly viable card to me. 

Just look at what the Horn of Boromir was meant to do in the books.  It's one of those cards that I love because the text actually fits with the title AND the story itself.

Maybe cus' you could make Tom Bombadil a 17 strength comp? That seems kinda weird to me...

True. Which is a pity, really, because there aren't any other allies even remotely close to Tom Bom in strength. However, I believe it was banned before his time. In any case, by Movie block there are LOTS of ways to directly hurt companions outside of the skirmish phase. A constantly exerting Boromir is asking for trouble.

[Gil-Estel]

Not with wound prevention, twilight denial, and another strong ally: Treebeard. Allthough especially the combination of Aragorn pool remover, and Galadriel going Dutch it was harsh. Please, someone, make me a movie Horn deck and play it once as a surprise deck against me I am curious.

[Kralik]

Forgot Beardy. Now that makes sense.

But note that No Stranger to the Shadows, Aragorn HttWC and Galadriel are X-ed as well. Horn of Boromir without those isn't quite as powerful. Still, it finds its place in the almighty Fellowship block.

Is there any ruling on Consorting With Wizards + Bilbo, BotB?  I've been thinking of making a solo Bilbo deck...

[Witchkingx5]

Nope, you can use the combo, but you're die against overwhelming or corruption cus' of Bilbo's stupid ability. And his regroup action isn't as good as many people think.

[Marcoliboar]

yep Witchkingx5 is right, that combo is quite useless..


but you can maybe try with The Shire Countryside (3R113), Nine-fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom (10C112) , •A Light in His Mind (10U108) and such.

and its good in wraith deck but not for choke, but for wound prevention

Just as an idea, but it seems like some (maybe a lot) of the banned cards were banned because of an infinate loop they could create. 

Why not, instead of banning a card, just state that something can not happen more than once per card unless the card specifies the number of times it can happen.  With this, you would un-ban a some cards, and break the infinate loops.

And things like the flaming brand, Nazgul have enough if you play King or Movie block that I let others use it.  I could see it being really strong in a FotR or TTT block, but not overpowering to the point to ban it. 

[Witchkingx5]

I'm not sure about the Flaming Brand. I have two real life Rohan Decks, and I must say, if they would be able to add some Flaming Brands, whis would be really overpowered.

Or imagine that: Islidur, BoH with Narsil and 5 opther artifacts and Flaming Brand would have the same base strength as the Witch-king (besides that when they would face each other, Isildur would get a nice bonus!), then combine with some Elves and TLAoEaM and you have a 17 strength Ring-Bearer.

I mean, even without the Brand, this is pretty scary, but with such Brands in all Decks, Nazzies wouldn't stand any chances at all... and they're my favorite culture... snief...

I disagree. I made a pretty effective Tale/Archery deck using Bilbo. It dies to mass condition removal, sure, but the twilight removal element is one of the key components to keeping opponent's minions under control.
