"Minion" should not be capitalized in the text.

The first sentence is very difficult to phrase. I would be thinking something like: "to make all minions and companions unassigned" or to "remove all companions and minions from assignments". And a unique event currently doesn't mean anything (though you could make it mean something!) but otherwise this is a very cool and interesting card. :up:

The wording is almost identical to Return to its Master so I dont see what needs changing...?

However what I think is a twilight reduction with an additional requirement, like in Return to its Master, like if a companion loses a skirmish, as currently this allows you to do all the skirmishes you want until you play this. This additional requirement makes it more balanced.

I meant perhaps it should be worded like Get Back from 4U152... Assignment: Prevent an [ISENGARD] tracker from being assigned to a skirmish by any player.

No Jord is right, it's supposed to look like return to it's master.

Jord what would you suggest as an additional requirement?
