Revision 1 · Player's Council · 2026-03-28 Collection Info Title Faramir Subtitle Wizard's Pupil Unique Yes Collectible No Set 7 - Return of the King Rarity R - Rare Card Number 91 Language EN - English Revision 1 (Player's Council) Release Date 2026-03-28 Notes There has for a very long time been a trick to "eating" an infinite number of threats and turning them into so much smoke. This comes down to utilizing any card which uses "prevent all wounds", as this does not prevent you from assigning those wounds, they just fizzle when laid down. All of these are being replaced with "unable to take wounds", which does not even let you assign wounds of any kind to the target. This is largely a targeted nerf for Dwarves, as they had two different tools to negate all threats, but all other instances of this wording have also been addressed.
