Merry, Learned Guide.

[Elendil!Urukfear]

When you discard Merry, Learned Guide does that end his skirmish?

[MR. Lurtzy]

Yes.

[Elendil!Urukfear]

Really? That's Awesome!! GarrisonofGondor questioned that so i was just wondering thanks

[Elendil!Urukfear]

Oh yea, and i have another question.
Desert Fighter says that at the start of each skirmish involving this minion, you may remove (1) to add a threat. Does that mean you can keep doing this until you run out of twilight?

[MR. Lurtzy]

No, it's "At the start of each skirmish." So at the start of each skirmish involving him (including fierce), you may add a threat if you have the amount of twilight to do so.

[Elendil!Urukfear]

Okay, I'm really sorry to keep bothering you but i have one more q.
when a card says that you can do something in the regroup phase if you move twice that turn can you do it?
I've heard that in the new rules you skip the regroup phase and the fellowship phase when you move twice.

[DáinIronfoot]

Nope. There is ALWAYS a regroup phase except at Site 9 (when the Ring-bearer merely has to survive until the end of all skirmishes). It is during the regroup phase when you decide whether or not to move again...and if you do, that ends the regroup phase. But it doesn't skip it.

However, if you DO move during the regroup phase, the fellowship phase IS skipped and you go straight to Shadow phase(S). Only when you stay do you get to return to the fellowship phase (on your next turn).

What he said.

[Elendil!Urukfear]

Okay guys thanks for your comments. Thats two I've proven wrong against GarrisonofGondor so far :hey:. But really thanks a ton!

[FingolfinFinwe]

Nope. There is ALWAYS a regroup phase except at Site 9 (when the Ring-bearer merely has to survive until the end of all skirmishes).

Unless you're playing Tower block and someone slaps down Caverns of Isengard as their site 9, but good luck running into that situation.

[GarrisonofGondor]

 Thanks a lot Elendil!Urukfear.

[Elendil!Urukfear]

Hey congrats on your new position, Uruk.
Now you must fear me! lol

[GarrisonofGondor]

Bring it. My Elves against any of your deck's. You know I'd win.

[Ulmo]

One other note about Learned Guide is that if he skirmishes a fierce minion in the first skirmish, the minion still gets to skirmish the fierce phase.

[MR. Lurtzy]

Unless you discard him while it's not his skirmish.
