Add and Surge

By Rajam, in Rules questions & answers

If an encounter card with surge (and/or doomed) is added to the staging area, does the surge/doomed keyword resolve?

Edited by Rajam

Nope.

Like @GrandSpleen says no. It only does when the card is revealed (regardless how or where it is revealed from by the way).

Another side note: a player card with doomed keyword placed in play (Like a Sarouman with Vilya) do it doomed keyword.
