Has it been totally established that there is no cards anywhere that will allow you to exchange one version of a character with a completely different version of the same character?
If that is true, and you manage to send to the dead pile Say 'Aragorn Stryder' and then use
Falls of Rauros to take him out of play entirely, then I suppose you can play a brand new copy of Aragorn in whatever flavor you like, is this true?
Aragorn Stryder is a great card for a cost of 1 to sometimes sneek in to a starting fellowship, but your deck might have a different version of another Aragorn in mind for a bit later and want to try and bring him around, just thinking of ways that could be done.
Yea I know, have the version of Aragorn you would like later on and just not play it right away until you are ready for it. Makes sense I suppose, but early in the game having a strong guy like Stryder around can be nice, and if you can work him in for a cost of 1 or sometimes 0 for an extra free man so much the better.
