Hello,

The Wolf of Isengard has a "Forced" "When" effect that in principle should trigger when the shadow card is dealt (i.e. before the defender is assigned) but I cannot check if its shadow card has the Wizardry effect at that point since nothing specifies that I can flip the shadow card to check its Wizardry effects.

Therefore I assume that I can discard the shadow card with the "Forewarned" boon (before flipping the shadow card). On the other hand I think I cannot cancel the Wizardry effect with "Hasty stroke" that triggers after the shadow triggers.

Do you agree with this interpretation?

 

Bye, gurru

You are correct in both cases. The Wargs from the core set had a similar forced effect. Nate's official ruling...
