If this card shows up during setup, will the surge trigger? The way it is written (embedded in text and unbolded), it doesn't appear as a keyword like it does on other cards.
It depends on the wording in setup. If it says to "reveal" those cards from the encounter deck - then you handle any "when reveal" and "surge" things as normal. If it just says something like "put them into play" then no, Surge does not trigger.
It says to search the encounter deck for a dunlending and add it to the staging area. So... I guess that means surge does not trigger?
EDIT: I think I'm reading too much into the way the surge keyword is written. After re-reading FAQ's and the core rules. Now I believe his surge would still trigger if he was added to the staging area during setup.
However, I believe that the rule book states that the surge keyword is an action triggered only during the quest phase. That being the case, we have interpreted that that card 's surge would not happen. Thoughts?
Surge triggers at any time when a card is revealed from the encounter deck, as per FAQ 1.01. But it has to be an effect that specifically uses the word "reveal" - see FAQ 1.22 for that. If the effect doesn't include the word "reveal", you don't resolve surge, doomed or any when revealed effects on the card.
I'm still not clear on this. The Fords of Isen setup says each player searches the deck for a different Dunlend enemy and "adds" it to the staging area. If the Prowler was one selected, would his surge trigger?
Does the setup text say to reveal that enemy? If yes, surge triggers. If not, surge doesn't trigger.
