These guys are actually pretty good! 18 defense from range, poison and 9 attack! Being able to remove relics will really shake up the fear itself set with all of those hammers or even mandarins rings! These crow flicks make scarecrow a very effective tie up/harrasser piece for such a cheap cost.

Bah, this is probably a rules comprehension fail on my part, but is the relic placed in Murder of Crows' square or the hit character's square?

Wow....good question. It all depends on who "his" would be. Murder of crows or the hit character. Either way the desired effect is taking place. That character loses the relic for the remainder of the game. Most relics say "once per game per character or a relic roll that can't be rerolled" so that specific character won't be picking it up agaib .

My understanding is that it would be the hit characters square.

I know if a character that rolled for the relic couldn't try again, but what about character that start with relics attached? Could they then retry for them?

This really is a very good question.

I'm going to be that guy foolishly applying logic to heroclix rules again...

Snagging your relic off of you and dropping it at your feet rather than in my own square doesn't really seem like much of a theft, does it? I mean yeah, it could still have a huge game effect, but with the effect representing the crows STEALING the item...

I think that "his" is modifying "Murder of Crows" so therfore the object is dropped in the square of the Crows.

Quite simply, this is bad grammar, and you can't take the proper meaning one way or the other.

Even if it said "their" instead of "his" as a murder is a group of crows it wouldn't be definitive as the target could could a be a duo or team base, also gender is indeterminate as it assumes either the target can only be male or that MuC is all males. In any case, the use of any possessive pronoun is confusing and should be replaced with an appropriate possessive noun. Either "the target character's square" or "the Murder of Crows' square".

Can these guys actually carry?

Bystander tokens or 'pog characters' are treated as normal characters when fielded. So yes they can carry....

probably a silly question, but does their poison count for their special dmg power?

Poison is not an attack. So, no it doesn't count as an attack that hits.

If you read off of the back of Scarecrow's card it says "When Murder of Crows hits with an attack, any relic assigned to the hit character is placed in this square." Hope that helps clear up problems.

Does this ability work on the Phoenix shards if someone is using that resource?
