Spotlight on two Elf tactics up on the main page.
For Ulthuan! is awesome and is cheap enough to be used by any Order race.
Invoke Khaines Wrath is also awesome and gets revenge for being attacked. Can't defend a zone, destroy them for attacking you.
Two very abusable cards.
I hope that these are the racial equivalents of "Judgment of Verona, Trolls Blood, Nurgle's Pestilence, and Rune of Valaya". (Well, Dwarf doesn't really have any removal, but Rune of Valaya is pretty epic and abusable)
If High Elf/Dark Elf get any more powerful cards, they will simply own far too much.
Dark Elf is already on the list of strongest race purely for their easy access to unit removal and very good unit repertoire (toughness/counterstrike/power pumping/sniping).
There's no denying the strength of unit removal in any combat oriented card game.
I can see For Ulthuan appearing in a lot of Order decks, it would only cost 2 in any other races deck, would be really good in Empire, move a bunch of units to your battlefield from other zones and then attack and then move them back around, if needed to at that point. Could be expensive but potentially game winning.
Two very nice cards, with great effects.
I can't remember how many turn I spend on burning a section with only 1 or 2 damages left. The High Elf tactic will definately worth its cost (and largely more than it, actually).
The Dark Elves gain a "weapon of mass destruction". My DE deck (using a Chaos Capital) is already very competitive, with a dedicated Capital board and cards like this one, my opponents will have to play with 1-turn units... 
(yesterday, my dwarf opponent had 5 units at max in play at the same time, and we nearly exhausted our deck, and thus played many units, supports and tactics)
Any ideas what "participated in combat" exhaustively covers ? Does my Globadier using its action to deal 1 damage to an attacking unit (without defending of its own) is "participating in combat" ? (why can't they simply write "units that attacked or defended"... 
)
I hope the rulebook included within the Deluxe Expansion will come with precise game terms that will cover such an effect without questions.
DE are really starting to look GREAT!!! I know what my 2nd deck is going to be!

) Scout keyword has the "participate in combat" thing as well. So Unit that was an attacker or defender. Probably because "participating in combat" covers both sides of the equation?
Participate in combat is someone who has participated as an attacker or defender in combat that phase. A unit that you triggered an effect from during combat is not in combat unless declared so. He does not participate in the combat, even if his effect does cause some sort of interaction on another unit who is participating.
