The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – Revised Core Set

← All The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – Revised Core Set questions

Does a card added to the staging area trigger its when-revealed effect or Hide test?

Two community posts in separate threads agree that only 'reveal' triggers when-revealed effects, surge and Hide.

No. When-revealed effects and surge trigger when a card is revealed from the encounter deck, not when another card or effect places it in the staging area. A Black Rider's Hide test is therefore taken only when it is revealed, and being added to staging does not trigger it.
