I got lucky there then!

I will try to hold back from potentially taking too many questions, but it seems things are pretty quiet today

Is it unique?

We may need to light the beacons.

And, no, it's not unique!

Really? Cause that's the only non-unique

orc with a twilight cost that is not four or less when not roaming. At least as far as I can tell.

Don't focus on the 'exert a

minion' part of Massing in the East. The spotting aspect of the card is specifically referring to Dwarves, Elves, Men, and Wizards. Pretty sure that's what Shapeshifter's getting at.

Congratulations! It is indeed.

I don't think the last couple of questions were required though. You ruled out almost every site 9 when you asked if there were flames present anywhere on the card

menace64 · « **Reply #74 on:** August 06, 2018, 01:40:44 PM »

I had a smattering of site 2's and 6's for some reason - I'll try and be more efficient next time

Choosing a site was devious btw.

(Before I announce that I'm thinking of a card, I want to ask a question to those about: would you prefer a grace period between when an answer is given and the next question asked? I don't know if we've got any lurkers about interested in skirmishing with us - if slowing down a bit allows more of us to participate, I'm sure something could be done!)

That being said, I'm thinking of a card.

I didn't mind the pace, myself. Enjoying spectating.

... That said, does it have the strength icon (i.e., the sword & shield emblem on the left side of the card)?
