A Lie in Your Eyes :: MEAS :: HE :: r2

Playable on untapped non-Ringwraith, non-Wizard character. Your opponent may either: Tap the character, tap an ally the charac- ter controls, or choose for you to make a roll (draw a #). If the result is greater than the character's mind plus 6, the character is discarded (along with all cards he controls).

On the first look, a not-so-powerful card to tap some characters.

On the second look, a nice card to set up your nastier hazards or clean up what you missed so far. It is almost guaranteed to tap a character of one or two mind, which is almost a sixth of all mi- nion characters and almost a third of all hero characters. It is Dwarven decks that are hurt most by this card, since there are so many dwarves with low mind.

It is almost useless against the better characters, which almost always have a mind of four or more, the chances of discarding one of them are so slim that I would rather let my opponent roll the dice instead of tapping the character or his ally (if any).

A nice target for this card are characters with a low mind due to a Binding-ring, an Oracle's Ring, a Reviled Ring or a Warding Ring.

All told, a somewhat useful card; I would consider putting one of these into a deck -- unless I find something more crucial to my strategy.
