Just a quick question about
Merry, Friend to Sam.
Suppose I have Merry and Legolas both assigned to two minions.
Merry's skirmish is resolved. He won (or not, it does not matter). Now comes the time of Legolas skirmish.
Can I use Merry's special ability? He WAS assigned for sure, but the skirmish is over, is he still considered as assigned?
