ah I missed that part on the FAQ, thanks. Annoying spider indeed.

can its shadow effect be used to discard one attachment that was placed in one of your heroes from the encounter deck? for example Caught in a Web (Core)?
Rules say "Players always assume control of attachments that have been played on their characters".

No, since encounter cards are an exception:

Official LOTR FAQ 1.2 said:

(1.06) Control of Non-objective Encounter Cards
Players do not gain control of encounter cards unless control of the card is explicitly granted by a card effect. When an encounter card (such as Caught in a Web, CORE 86) becomes an attachment and attaches to a character, that character’s controller does not gain control of the attachment.

Such a great hero ... it could only be Strider.Sword that was Broken Unknown Set , Celebrian's Stone (Core) and Rivendell Bow Unknown Set are the evidences which certify he's the Big Boss.

A 0-cost card that promotes teamwork. Good card... if you're not playing solo.

The ruling, sadly, is that using his switch players ability does not remove him from combat.
I'd call this card solid. He can help out in a wide variety of small ways, at a low cost.
This ruling was not obvious at first and my guess would be that we see it written out in the next FAQ or so. I'll edit the comment to reflect that ;)
Quick Strike

Feint is better for dealing with large enemies early game, but otherwise I find Quick Strike to be the stronger card.
I think Quick Strike only ever is better than Feint, when the timing matters, like killing someone with Dunhere before threat gets counted, or killing someone with Legolas to remove a negative location effect from play. If the timing is not an issue, than Gimli doesn't care whether he kills the dude in phase 3 or 6.
Meneldor's Flight

You can use it with
Descendant of Thorondor (THoEM) triggering the in and out of game effect more often. this still means you have to have at ton of tactic ressources to spare.
I'm not very fond of Meneledors Flight so far
Meneldor's Flight
May 14 2012 12:02 AM
Not familiar with that set and what strategies you can make around eagles but my first guess would be to remove damage tokens and playing the ally again with full health
Meneldor's Flight

What is the purpose of this card?
Dol Guldur Beastmaster
May 13 2012 10:01 PM
I was confused on when to deal the shadow card, the faq clarified it:

Should read: "Forced: When Dol Guldur Beastmaster attacks..."
Never leave this guy undefended seems the obvious choice.
Gandalf
May 13 2012 04:18 PM
best card in the game?
Steward of Gondor
May 12 2012 09:55 PM
considering it is unique I think 2 copies are enough
Dwarrowdelf Axe
May 12 2012 06:12 PM
1 cost card, for Dwarfs (plenty of them to go around). Small stat boost, as well as one auto-damage. Decent card if you have tactics available.
Steward of Gondor
May 12 2012 05:56 PM
Ideally, everyone has three, but unfortunately, too many of us only have one copy of the core set :(.
Under the Shadow
May 12 2012 04:37 PM
Pretty mild- certainly a card that I'd be more happy to draw than many others!
Stand Together
May 12 2012 12:17 PM
Yes, but only if you can ready them between the defenses. (Because the usual cost of defending, character exhaustion, still applies.)
Stand and Fight
May 12 2012 12:12 PM
It would go to the discard pile of its owner. Every card goes to the discard pile belonging to its originating deck.
Stand and Fight
May 11 2012 11:58 PM
if I take an ally from another player's discard pile, when this ally dies, does it go in my discard pile or returns to the other player's discard pile?

Man, that could really make things suck.
