Can you only play these cards during the flash specified phase?

I also just noticed that Gandalf creates a potential endless loop since you can get him back into your hand during regroup. Add a burden, discard minions, discard Gandalf, exert to get him back, rinse and repeat. Yes, it requires burdens and exertions to do so, but with, say, [Gondor] Wraiths, that's not necessarily so bad a thing.

I know it severely nerfs the card, but perhaps limit the Fellowship/Regroup ability to JUST Fellowship. You could probably raise his strength to 8 to compensate AND give a little incentive to keeping him around as a normal companion.
Best regards,
Dáin

Wow, Ambusher seems really strong. Also, unrelated issue, but if you have been playing a lot of MtG lately, how came I don't have you on MSN so we can play on MWS? You DO play on MWS< right?
What's MWS?

You can play these either with flash in their specified phase, or as a normal card in the appropriate phase. Which is why the knife gives a strength bonus which would be useless if it could only flash in and out of existence.

Then I must say that Goblin Ambusher is way overpowered.
