Without My Hat · RingsDB

Rules question: Could you use Without My Hat to search for The One Ring (i.e., is "Immune to non-Master card effects" active even outside play)?

Other than that, there are some broken combos I can foresee with this; Three Golden Hairs, Phial of Galadriel, and several of the other boons are attachments, as is Banner of Elendil (you can play it with A Good Harvest).

In terms of non-broken uses, the main one I can think of is waiting to play this until you see what you need most. Need readying? Fetch Unexpected Courage. Need ? Fetch a Weapon. Need to brag that you bought the Revised Core Set? Fetch Valor. To me, though, 2 resources, even neutral ones, seems like a lot, leaving me thinking that, unless I plan to target something broken, I'll mostly go without Without My Hat.

I'm not sure if "attachments" include boons. However, in my understanding, yes, you can fetch the One Ring. However, you have no possibly way to play it, because it's immune to non-Master card effects (so no Vilya shenanigans), and it has no cost so it cannot be bought. — Turgon 598 6/16/22

If you want the One Ring, probably should just include it in your deck ;-) — Turgon 598 6/16/22

if it work with the one ring , you avoid the setup-flaw of the reduced threadelemination, no small feat. — doomguard 2148 6/16/22

You're right about the One Ring, Turgon; thanks for the advice. Regarding the boons, technically speaking their card type is "attachment," so they should be valid targets for Without My Hat. — AlasForCeleborn 692 6/16/22

While you're on the topic of cheating in the One Ring, would Burglars Turn be able to do it? I'm working on a prototype now but don't want to be wasting me time lol — Uruk-guy 548 6/17/22

Remember that "your collection" by ALeP definition includes boons only when you are playing in quests where you have earned them. — Alonewolf87 2382 6/17/22

I actually didn't know that, Alonewolf. Thanks for the correction, and thank you, ALeP, for thinking ahead! — AlasForCeleborn 692 6/17/22

This card makes the Burglar's Turn contract more viable. — NERD 866 8/22/22
