Misprinted cards and their possibilities

[Pepin The Breve]

   Hey people, i don´t know if i should post this here (or bag's end instead) but i will give a shot anyway.

   I just noticed that my Aragorn, Defender of Free Peoples (6R50) (Aragorn, Defnsor de las Gentes Libres in fact...) have some print error that makes him totaly overpower in a . His text is all the same except that instead of remove tokens to wound minions at the regroup he does this at skirmish! 

   I like to ask you if ever notice this before in other copy of him or if i have a very rare card at hand

Even if all copies of Aragorn, Defensor de las Gentes Libres had that text (and I would assume they do), it wouldn't matter - at least not at a tournament. Tournament guidelines specify that all cards work as worded on English versions. In fact, if your opponent (at a US tournament) wanted to be a prick, he could make you produce an English copy to ensure no confusion; if you could not do so, you would not be allowed to play that card.

Sucks, but those are the guidelines. Many top-level players got hit with that one early on when playing with their Chinese Goblin Armories or German Witch-king Lord of Angmar. It should be an easy one to enforce, but some judges will have a text copy of all cards just for these situations, making it a difficult issue.

They probably all do say that. My suggestion? Play with your friends in casual play, and don't let them know the real text.

[Pepin The Breve]

   I never tought using his in a tournament and even at casual play without clarifying his text cause that would be equal to cheating and that´s something i´m not used to do  .

   I post this threat more to know if that was an error of all spanish versions (which, like you, i think that´s the case too) and maybe hoping to some funny comments on it (like NB, assuming that he is really joking  ). Anyway i apreciate all clarifications.

   Maybe we can move this topic to Bag's End and change the title to: "Misprinted cards and they possibilities" i say that would be a funny topic and maybe people even start to post decklist with misprinted cards  (i´m sure NB can post some broken deck with this Gorn...hehehe )

[SomeRandomDude]

I'm on it!

I believe you and I Pep were talking about Frenzy of Arrows, that was a misprint.

Both the original and the errata 

[sickofpalantirs]

wait...whats wrong with frenzy of arrows?

[macheteman]

it doesn't really work maybe?

[MR. Lurtzy]

There aren't any archers.

[Pepin The Breve]

  Yes, Lurtzy get to the point. And that seems that don´t exist any means to make an  minion archer... So it´s #$&*@! broken before errata and unusable after 

   After Errata you basically plays Gothmog + Isengard Underling + Saruman, SoS + Frenzy of Arrows to kill evertything (if you don´t have pool just play Underlings and the events...).

[Elessar's Socks]

Question is, did Decipher know there weren't any archers (or a means of making one)? I think the answer would amuse me either way.

[MR. Lurtzy]

They probably did know that there weren't any archers, but didnt care.

[leokula]

If only LOTRTCG players could organize themselves sort of like SWCCG's PC, we could have virtual cards, therefore archers and new versions of supid cards like frenzy of arrows.

[TheJord]

hawkeyeSPF said that he and a few others were organizing one. I emailed them saying I was interested but nothing back yet 

[SomeRandomDude]

We should totally take a page from MtG here...
