As a reminder, this is part of the third 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 Dwarven 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.

firstey, cut cost to 2 IMHO. for 2 of you exertions to get to exert one of their companions, and draw a card. Also the word artifact needs to be in this card SOMEWHERE.

I’m not sure I understand your review! Could you make it a bit clearer?

Representing the terrible temptation and corruption caused by Smaug’s treasure.

I dunno. It seems a little OP, even with the FP able to exert Smaug back. But I can’t think of what to change. Maybe add a slightly higher unlock cost, like exert Smaug and do something-or-other. I like the idea, though, so I’m hesitant to suggest any significant change.
Never kid about politicians. The more bizarre the joke, the more likely it is to come true.

LOL!

IMO, the card is so twisted it would take a miracle for me to figure out whether its balanced or not, so my idea is, fire all your playtesters, make a 20th set and release it to the public, and then X-list accordingly (if necessary).

And insert some typo somewhere, and make the lore "ARGH!"

1st Smaug is awesome, and I’ll review the second when you show me a card with all that text on there.

I did manage to fit it on a card when I made it. Admittedly the text is very small...

I’ve had an excellent idea for a Smaug, and I was just worrying that this set needed a version of him. So, I’m going to repost the Uncountable Hoard with changes and follow it with my new Smaug:

2 • Uncountable Hoard Sauron
Artifact • Support Area
Shadow: Exert Smaug and discard a Shadow condition from play to Unlock this artifact.
Locked: Shadow: If Smaug is not exhausted, exert a character to draw a card. The Free Peoples player may also use this ability.
H3 R 126

12 • Smaug, Vassal of the East Sauron
Minion • Dragon
Str: 19
Vit: 5
Sit: 6
Winged. Fierce.
While you can spot 3 Shadow cultures, Smaug’s site number is -3.
While you can spot 3 artifacts, Smaug is strength +3.
While you can spot 3 stacked sites, Smaug gains terror 1.

maybe an idea to do something with it’s temper? Like Unhasty? It took a while before Smaug finaly decided to fly out and be aggresive...Dragons seem to be lazy...
