Ok the 2 condition are:
Border Patrol (Rohan)
Shadowplay (Shire)
Border Patrol reads:
When you play this condition, spot a mount  man to add 3 tokens here.
Response: If a minion is played at a plains site, discard this condition or remove a token from here to exert that minion.
Shadowplay reads:
To play, spot 2  companions. Each Time a minion is played, you may exert a Hobbit companion to exert that minion 9limit once per turn).
My question is this:
Say I’m at a plains site (Rohan Uplands for insistence) and the opponent plays Mumak Commander, Giant Among the Swertings:
1. Can I remove a token to exert him once then exert a shire companion to exert him again?
2. If so, if I have 3 shadowplays out can I do it 3 times or does one exertion of my Hobbit exert him 3 times?
3. If I can indeed remove the token from Border Patrol and exert a Hobbit with Shadowplay can I then play Unheeded to wound him which would kill him?
Thanks in advance,

wait, so shadowplay can be used "once per phase" for each condition you have?
if that is the case, can you discard 4x howda at one archery phase? |

Yes to both. When a minion is played, all your copies of Shadowplay trigger and you go through each one separately. First Shadowplay asks if you want to exert a Hobbit companion, so you handle that, and then the next Shadowplay asks you the same, and you handle that, and so on.
I’m probably having a brain fart, but wording it so you only have to exert one Hobbit for all copies of Shadowplay (while keeping the limit) seems awfully tricky. Maybe something like:
"Each time a minion is played, you may exert a Hobbit companion to exert that minion for each Shadowplay you can spot. Each Shadowplay you can spot loses its game text until the start of your turn." |

Actually, more like:
"Each time a minion is played, you may exert a Hobbit companion to exert that minion for each card named Shadowplay you can spot."
Cleaner, huh? Interesting, how a lot of questions about LotR comes down to the MtG rules about triggered abilities, perhaps they should have copied that rule? |

F_M, LotR and MTG are as different as night and day. Sorry to inform you.

| Since Border Patrol is a response, however, you can use it as many times as you want, assuming you have enough tokens. |
| All cards do what they say. |

Good point, missed that.

No they are not. LotR, like all other card games, borrow a whole bunch of rules form it. I learned to play it well enough pretty fast because I already knew the rules for MtG, just had to bear with the fact of not having responses except in cards that read response, which are quite few. They should have borrowed triggers. They HAPPEN anyway, might as well word them accordingly in the rules, to avoid such confusions. |

Yes. Hence, the Shadowplay/Unheeded deck. But Border Patrol is cool also.
