Blood Runs Chill in Master Proudfoot

[hrcho]

Okay, two separate questions:

1)      If a FP player plays Blood Runs Chill, thus exerting a dwarf who is dmg + 5 and Shadow player has 1 minion in play,  2 conditions in play and 2 minions stacked on a site. Must he discard those minions stacked on a site?

2)   If a FP player has drawn 3 cards during the fellowship phase and uses Master Proudfoot text to reveal 3 cards and all 3 are  cards. Does he choose 1 and discards the rest, or does he choose 1 and returns the rest to draw deck?

1) I'd say no, because stacked cards are not active. Nor could the Free Peoples player prevent the effects of Such a Little Thing by discarding two Free Peoples possessions from Ever My Heart Rises.

2) I'd say he discards them. The sentence has 2 steps:
 - First "Take all cards revealed into hand." The Free Peoples player must perform as much of this effect as possible, taking one card (presumably of his choice) into hand.
 - Second, "discard the rest." Discard all of the remaining cards (note that it doesn't say "discard all non- cards").

About our friend Mr. Proudfoot I'd say the wording implies you take all 3 cads into hand and discard the rest (which would be zero). So you keep all three Shire cards you revealed. How does it imply you keep only one?

The question assumes that the Free Peoples player has already taken 3 cards into hand, so the Rule of 4 will only allow him to take one more.

For the first, my take is that stacked cards can't be discarded for BRC because stacked cards aren't in play (the default meaning of "discard" is "discard from play").

For the second, I'd treat "discard the rest" to apply to any revealed cards not taken into hand, too.

Sorry missed that bit

Thank you all, especially Sam for his great explanation.
