Minion question only a newb would ask.
« on: January 04, 2009, 09:14:51 AM »
Hey I was thinking if a unique minion is killed are you able to play it again. A stupid question I know but hey it needs answering because a friend of mine played gollum right after I finished killing him didn't bring it up then for the sake of the greater good. Just wondering(and praying that it was) if that move was illegal.


Thanks

Yes, unique minions are not treated the same as unique companions. You can play them again once discarded. Otherwise, how could Gollum decks survive? ;)

Oh how I remember my early days. We used to play that if a minion was killed, not discarded, it couldnt be replayed. And I played Moria! LOL!

Sorry to blow your hope...unique minions can't be in play at the same time, but when it's gone, a new one can occur....

Getting rid of Gollum is like playing a game of Whac-A-Mole. Several (and more direct) ways of causing trouble, but one fun way is with a knight deck. Fourth Level / CotS squishes Gollum, Sapling of the White Tree prevents wounds (and Promise Keeping), and Banner of Westernesse / Hero of Osgiliath ramps up healing. A random Clever Hobbits can result in epic lulz.

Don't forget Gondor Bow! I love Fourth Level / Gondor Bow comboing. Yummy. :twisted: And it's Standard-legal, too!
