Can Banner of Elendil be played without a Fellowship resource match, though?

@RainKing The rule only says Fellowship Heroes can only be used in Saga quests,so Banner of Elendil can be used in normal quest because A Good Harvest says "choose a sphere" and Fellowship is also a sphere.

From the Black Riders rules insert: "While most of the included player cards are fully compatible with all published The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game scenarios, a select few are only intended for use when playing the scenarios presented in The Lord of the Rings Saga Expansions. These are the Fellowship sphere cards: Frodo Baggins and Frodo’s Intuition".

Seastan also said that he asked a couple weeks ago whether Good Harvest could be used to pay for Fellowship cards, and the developers told him "no". But I don't have any links to that ruling-- I was also operating under the assumption that it could, becaues Fellowship is a sphere.

Now that you point out the quote from The Black Riders, I see that there is a similar passage on page 4 of the Flame of the West rules. It lists Banner of Elendil, Aragorn, and the Esquire boons.

Obviously, FFG isn't going to come to your house and take away your cards if you want to house rule it but strictly speaking it doesn't work.

@Some SortI‘m quite sorry that neither myself nor @kainveus（he raise the idea A Good Harvest+Banner of Elendil）find those words in rules insert of Saga Expansions.now this deck is definite a fun decks. because it canonly be used in Black Riders and The Road Darkens and maybe some pods.

@Some Sort I mean have not notice those words before.we are chinese so forgive our poor English.

@deadlock Oh no, don't worry about it. Your English is great, I have no trouble understanding what you're trying to say.

I personally think "rules" like this are open to interpretation. I play a deck that uses both Spirit Pippin and Lore Pippin, and I think it's fine. The game is meant to be fun, and if ignoring things like uniqueness rules or using fellowship cards outside of saga quests makes it more fun, then that's great!

I really like your deck, by the way. I really like the idea of building a deck based on a theme like what pictures are on the cards. I never even notice the pictures on the cards anymore, so this is a great idea to get me looking at the pictures and thinking about the cards in a new way. A "flag" deck just seems like such a great idea.

@Some SortI also believe pay attention to something like pictures of card is a funny (maybe I should use cool) idea.My inspiration is come from the show which made by sheldon in The Big Bang Theory.Perhaps because of the culture difference,I perfer enjoying the challenging process that doing something I want in rules made by someone else.I also respect players using house rules(In China we call it village rules).It's enjoyable to talk with you.
