Title: Little Help! Rangers Roaming...
Post by: gizmoh on March 01, 2010, 03:56:32 AM
howdy doody! i've been tinkering away with a rangers/roaming deck and can't quite get it to click.  ](*,)
I've managed to easily play several cards that increase the site number and thus ensure minions are roaming preety much all the way through the adventure path, but the question remains of how to use that.does anyone know of any good cards to use to take advantage of this?
further, it's common to play enough + to site number cards that would result in my opponents minions having a site number of 12, 13, etc. is this possible or is a site number capped at 9?

cheers!  \:D/

Ithilian Blade from set 15.  their is no cap for site numbers, so yes, minions can be fumbling around at site 9 just as lost as they were at site 2 or 3.

cheers - yeah the real issue i suppose was ensuring that the minion was roaming in the maneuver phase - most card effects i was using, such as; Gondorian Ranger and Ancient Roads are only useful once the minion is skirmishing, not in the maneuver phase.
top stuff, i'll start hunting down these cards and give it a try. i have been using what are they, however i tend to find it runs outof uses by about site 4 for the exact reason i mentioned above; that is, most minions are not roaming in the maneuver phase by this time.
cheers - dont hesitate to list any other ideas you guys have, appreciated.  :up:

yeah good call! on the topic of which block to play - good question. im honestly not sure, how do the blocks work again? i vaguely remember FOTR, MOM and ROTEL was the first block.
Open decks utilise cards from any set, correct?

gondorian merchant - good call, cheers. With Second Level, if i transfer that to a minion and then use WHat are They? to discard said minion, what happens to second level - is it also discarded from play?

And what if you post the deck so we can review it better? I really want to see it.
