Short Cut has the potential to be a very powerful card, but the reliability that a location would pop up that you want to say no to is rare. There are a couple silver bullet locations that completely take apart some decks or are in general just terrible, so running this just for insurance might be helpful. Cancelling an entire card is a powerful effect, and few cards do it, so if you're bringing Hobbits to a multiplayer game, consider Short Cut.

Event.
Cost: 1.
Response: After a location enters play, exhaust a Hobbit character to shuffle that location back into the encounter deck. Then, reveal 1 card from the encounter deck and add it to the staging area.
