Extending your hand means to make more than eight cards at a time available during your [[Shadow Phase]], allowing you to play more [[minion]]s or other cards to support them so you don't waste any [[Twilight]]. Hand extension is very important to certain Shadow strategies, especially [[swarm]] strategies that want to play as many [[minion]]s as possible in a single turn. Most Shadow cards are disposable and discarded at the end of the turn, so playing as many as you can as quickly as you can is often important. Β | ||
Usually, hand extension means drawing extra cards at the start of or during the Shadow Phase, using cards like {{Card|Bent on Discovery}} or {{Card|Grishnakh, Orc Captain}}, or reconciling early, with a card like {{Card|Under Foot}}. However, that isn't the only way to extend your hand. Sometimes you can play cards stacked on other cards: {{Card|Goblin Swarms}} can store minions for re-use, or {{Card|Dunlending Looter}} can stack himself on a [[Site Control|site you control]] then replay himself in a later turn. Sometimes you can play minions directly from your [[discard pile]], with cards like {{Card|Uruk Captain}} or {{Card|Gollum, Plotting Deceiver}}. Sometimes you can even [[recur]] cards from your discard pile straight to your hand, with cards like {{Card|The Witch-king, Morgul King}} or {{Card|Goblin Hordes}}. As long as you're playing more cards that you would've been able to draw normally by [[Reconcile|reconciling]] at the end of the last [[regroup phase]], that's hand extension. | Usually, hand extension means drawing extra cards at the start of or during the Shadow Phase, using cards like {{Card|Bent on Discovery}} or {{Card|Grishnakh, Orc Captain}}, or reconciling early, with a card like {{Card|Under Foot}}.
