As a reminder, this is part of the second of 3 sets:
H1 - The Hobbit (300 cards, 110C 100U 90R)
H2 - The Battle of the Five Armies (200 cards, 70C 70U 60R)
H3 - The White Council (200 cards, 70C 70U 60R)
And it’s more or less complete, I just need the approval of the talented DCers of the cobracards forum!
Here is a (very brief) summary of the block mechanics featured in the first set:
Terror X (Each time this character is assigned to skirmish an opponent’s character, they may make that opponent exert X of their characters.)
Winged (This character can only take 1 wound per phase, regardless of its source.)
Locked - (A card that is Locked has blank game text, unless it is Unlocked. An ability or keyword that is Locked is nonexistent unless it is Unlocked.)
Unlocked - (A card can only be Unlocked if a card allows it to be. A card with no Locked text cannot be Unlocked.)
A seriously detailed description of the last two can be found at this link: http://lotrtcgdb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=4434 (below the cards)
There are also a couple more that feature in this set that weren’t in the last, but I’ll get onto them later.
Here’s the culture break down, and clicking on finished cultures will take you to their card lists.

Possibly needs a bit more for locking the ring.

That idea is exceedingly interesting. Thanks, and have a while I mull it over and see any other opinions.

Changed to wounding twice. Good?

Not sure if the parenthesis are necessary or not. I’d lean "not".

I’d allow you to choose either exerting twice or wounding once. |

Okay, Bilbo is changed accordingly (though to 4 characters so that it’s 3 not including himself). And it ties in brilliantly with the cards from the White Council.

Now we move on from culture crossing specifically to a more general Bilbo strategy, expounding on the main theme from the last set, that of Riddles. The first thing to know is that riddle is unloaded. The second thing to know is that all of my previous riddles have involved either cards in your opponent’s hand or on the top of their draw deck, or cards in your own hand. These two are rather different:
Lovely Titles
Event • Maneuver
Riddle.
Spot Bilbo (or 2 Hobbits) to choose an opponent and name a number ’X’. Then, reveal 3 random cards from their adventure deck. If X is the number of sites with a Shadow number of or more, you may Lock a Shadow card until the regroup phase. If it does not, Lock The One Ring until the regroup phase.
’I am the Ring-winner and the Luckwearer...’
H2 U 175

Name a number X would be easier to phrase it all. E.g. If x is equal to the... Risky as heck Thran, its a good card but i wouldnt use it, too dangerous. Messing with the ring seems inherently wrong. Nothing could affect ther powers of the ring, it should stay that way really imho.

I found these riddles a bit wordy to be honest, can I suggest something more along the lines of:
Choose a site from your adventure deck and a Shadow player to choose a number. Then reveal the site. If the number is the same...
Does that seem better to you?
Also, what happens if the player doesn’t have any sites left in their deck (whether you do it my way or your way)?
