'''PC-Movie''' is one of three formats maintained by the [[Player's Council]]. It is an mirror to [[Movie Block]], the second-most popular format on [[GEMP]]. Due to the expanded card pool and scope, this format has the largest share of the PC's attention, especially compared to [[PC-Expanded]] which has languished over time. == Cards Used == Cards legal in the format are: * Cards from [[Movie Block]], i.e. 1-10 * Set V1, [[Shadow of the Past]], which was specifically designed around being a supplement to Fellowship block * Set V2, [[King of the Golden Hall]], which supplemented Towers Block. * Set V3, [[The Pelennor Fields]], which supplemented King Block and introduced [[Hinder]], [[Multi-dot Uniqueness]], and the [[Relentless]] keyword. * [[PC Errata]], which affect many of the most commonly-used power cards (such as {{Card|Galadriel, Lady Redeemed}}, {{Card|Castamir of Umbar}}, {{Card|Grond, Hammer of the Underworld}}, and {{Card|Promise Keeping}}). == Rule Changes == Standard Player's Council rule changes apply, including: * The game ends once the Shadow player reconciles at site 9, and not the start of the [[Regroup Phase]]. * [[Discard Pile]]s are considered public knowledge, same as the [[Dead Pile]]; you may look through your opponent's discard pile at any time. === Multipath === Unlike other PC formats, the site path used is [[Multipath]], meaning that any Movie-era site path can be used, so long as all cards in the [[Adventure Deck]] are from the same block. Players must include a [[Map]] card with their deck, which is revealed to all players before bidding. This Map dictates and reveals which site path the player has chosen. === V3 Mechanics === Set V3, [[The Pelennor Fields]], introduced 3 new mechanics to the game: a [[Loaded Keyword]] which codified existing functionality ([[Relentless]]), an expansion of an existing mechanic ([[Multi-dot Uniqueness]]), and a brand new concept with no analogue in Decipher's base game ([[Hinder]]). Each of these are summarized below: * Minions with the '''Relentless''' keyword participate in a third round of skirmishes, after '''[[Fierce]]'''. * Cards with 2 or 3 dots are restricted to 2 or 3 copies in play, analogous to how [[Unique]] cards with 1 dot are restricted to 1 copy in play. * Cards which are ''hindered'' are flipped face-down. While hindered, cards lose their [[Card Type]], subtype, stats, [[Keyword]]s, [[Title]], and [[Game Text]]: they effectively no longer affect the game (for most purposes). If a card instructs you to ''restore'' a card, you flip it back face-up and it immediately resumes activity. Whenever any player [[Reconciles]], that player automatically restores any hindered cards that they own. ---- {{Format Table}}
