Here's a condition which gives you an interesting way to save up opportunities to exert your opponent's minions during the skirmish phase. This can serve your Free Peoples in a wide variety ways. Perhaps you are building up the abilities of characters such as {{Card|Eomer, Third Marshal of Riddermark}}, {{Card|Eowyn, Lady of Ithilien}} or {{Card|Arwen, Queen of Elves and Men}}. Perhaps you want to block troublesome shadow skirmish abilities. Or perhaps you just want to put minions at the tipping point for {{Card|Ranger's Bow}} or {{Card|Eowyn's Sword, Dernhelm's Blade}}. | Here's a condition which gives you an interesting way to save up opportunities to exert your opponent's minions during the skirmish phase.

The unbound hobbits also have unique ways of refreshing their vitality after exerting by either discarding themselves or returning themselves to hand.
