Title: Wrath of Harad
Post by: SGollum on February 22, 2017, 02:23:20 PM

Do you have to pay the wound a companion cost on Wrath of Harad if you play an event that doesn't say to spot or exert a ranger but you spot or exert one after playing the card?

I think the text of event has to explicitly spot or exert a ranger.  For example, a "spot an elf" event that happens to spot ranger Arwen shouldn't trigger it . . . as far as I know

Yes. The card is very clear: the gametext should include spot or exert a ranger. Exambles are: An Able Guide; Pathfinder; A Rangers Versatility

Wrath of Harad does not apply to Swordsman of the Northern Kingdom. That event makes a ranger strength +2, bit does not spot or exert one as part of the cost.
As said above, the are very few cards that it will trigger. ARV and pathfinder are the only even vaguely seen ones.

In all fairness for the card, it was made when ARV was everywhere and in a set with RBR and gondor subtheme. So it had a reason.

A problem with this card, is that in TTT most Ranger theme cards need to spot or exert "a Ring-bound Man", so it can trigger only with Pathfinder and Perilous Ventures from that block. What a mistake!

And there are hardly any Towers-block sites where ARV could even work. The only forests are Derndingle and Fangorn Forest, at site 2.
