Thin and Streched and The ring is mine!

[Not a Zombie]

My opponent has an orc out and I end my turn with thin and stretched adding a burden. Can he the play the ring is mine! or is the minion discarded first?

If the Free Peoples player chooses to reconcile his or her hand, all minions are discarded and *then* the turn ends.

I'm just about positive that your opponent shouldn't be able to play The Ring is Mine!.

So I asked my son about this - his credentials are that he finished 7th at the Worlds in 2004 when a lot of people still played.

Thin and streched is an end of turn action.  If the free peoples player decides to move on then no burden is placed at that time because the turn has not ended.  When the player decides to reconcile "the Shadow player discards all minions in play ( and cards borne by them ), and your turn ends". [Comprehensive rules 4.0]  At that point end of turn actions would trigger.  The burden is added for Thin and Streched but since there are no minions The Ring is Mine! can't work.

Neat scenario though!

He, like myself, really like this game.  By far the vast majority of LOTR TCG players are just really good people and so the big conventions were fun to attend.  I was there more for the social aspect he was also there for the high end competition.  If you really want to hit a hot button with my son get him started on how mad he is with Decipher for ruining this game.

Hahaha! Why do I feel like I say this every post: I will not play a single game with any card past set 10!

Thanks TJ for keeping us on track.

You cannot play the Ring Is Mine. There, I added something useful.

Well, guess I was wrong then.
