Title: Goblin Swarms
Post by: mille1212 on July 01, 2011, 02:23:03 PM

How many orcs can be stacked on one goblin swarms?

If more than one can be stacked and I have two orcs skirmishing against one campanion, can both of those orcs be stacked if they win the skirmish even though technically it's only one skirmish?

Thanks

No limit, and in the case you mentioned, both orcs can be stacked.

Does an orc played on swarms count as if it is in the game? What I mean is can you stack more than one unique orc on the same swarms? Can you stack the same unique orc but on two different swarms? Can you have an unique orc stacked on a swarms at the same time as you have play one from your hand?

Cards stacked in this manner are not in play--you cannot spot them, and you cannot use their abilities, so it stands to reason that you could have multiple copies of the same unique minion stacked.  Naturally, you could only play one copy at a time, just like playing them from hand.

Stacked cards are not in play, and can only be affected by cards that specifically affect stacked cards.

So if you have one [Moria] Orc in play and 3 stacked on Goblin Swarms, playing Denizens Enraged would not grant any strength bonus.

If, hypothetically, there were a card that said "Spot X [Moria] Orcs stacked on Goblin Swarms to do Y," then you could spot them as such.
