When is a card played on the table discarded?
The designer stated this general rule for play-on-table cards.
A card on the table is discarded as soon as its precondition is no longer met, or its discard condition is met. If the precondition is met and the discard condition already is too, it is played and goes straight to the discard pile. Examples include Denethor's Folly once Minas Tirith is no longer besieged by the Shadow, and cards depending on Saruman once he is gone. Cards on the table no longer count toward the six-card hand limit.
