Here, I think the exertion is okay. Good show.

Now for the  culture. At 18 cards, they will have 2 strategies in this set: lowering resistance and trying to take initiative.
Resistance lowering guys will come first. 
•Grima, Pale Advisor
Minion • Man
Strength: 4
Vitality: 3
Site Number: 3
When you play Grima, you may make a companion (except the Ring-bearer) resistance -2 until the regroup phase.
Skirmish: Exert Grima to make a companion who has resistance 2 or less strength -2.
 Rohirrim Brute
Minion • Man
Strength: 12
Vitality: 3
Site Number: 4
Each time this minion wins a skirmish, you may exert an unbound companion (or wound that companion if he or she has resistance 2 or less).
 Treacherous Counsel
Event • Shadow
Exert a Man (or spot Grima) to make a companion (except the Ring-bearer) resistance -3 until the regroup phase. If that companion then has resistance 0, you may discard a card borne by that companion.
Ill News is an Ill Guest
Event • Skirmish
Make a minion strength +2 (or +3 and damage +1 if skirmishing a companion who has resistance 3 or less). |

Um, he looks fine, except for the fact that he has resistance and not a site number.

I like how you can use his "when you play" text and then follow up with his skirmish ability that same turn in many cases. Nice one-two punch.

He’s fine, just...having trouble imagining a single Man that strong. But hey, Decipher’s done it, so why not?

Personally, I think "now" should be "then" instead. I’d also recommend raising the cost to .

Nice. Although making a companion strength -8 is kinda....powerful. He’s beating Treebeard with a just a Pavise for Pete’s sake! Somehow, the though of Grima beating Treebeard over the head with a shield...never mind.

WHOA! I’d say, powerful. Maybe add except the ring-bearer?

I’ve tried not to use this word often, but it is Broken. First, discard each card borne by a companion, thanks to Grima, exhaust Grima to then make him strength -8, make a man strength +4 with the next pump, and if that doesn’t kill him, he then gets wounded by that Rohirrim Brute. Sorry, its really broken.

Yikes. Good catches there, NB. I really need to go to bed, methinks.  |

Ring-bound. To play, add a burden.
Each time Smeagol wins a skirmish, you may add a burden and discard Smeagol to take a Shadow card into hand from your discard pile.
Ninja Gollum loves this card. 
AnxiousChieftain wrote: Bound to the Quest
Condition • Support Area
At the start of each fellowship phase, you may spot Frodo and Sam to play Smeagol from your discard pile.
Great in conjuncture with the above card. You just have to worry about corruption. If only Ents of Fangorn was legal in standard. 
AnxiousChieftain wrote: Secret Stair
Event • Fellowship
Exert Smeagol and spot Frodo and Sam to play the fellowship’s next site. Until the regroup phase, each minion played at that site must exert.
Classic site manipulation. No complaints.
AnxiousChieftain wrote: •We Must Go at Once
Condition • Support Area
Fellowship: Discard Smeagol to heal a companion.
Regroup: Discard Smeagol to remove  .
Works well with the cards Dáin mentioned. Good job.
AnxiousChieftain wrote:  •Shelob, Always Hungry
Minion • Spider
Strength: 8
Vitality: 8
Site Number: 8
Fierce. Hunter 3.
Shelob is strength +1 for each wound on each character in her skirmish.
While Shelob is skirmishing a non-hunter, she is damage +1.
Not quite as powerful as some of the older Shelobs, but good nevertheless.
AnxiousChieftain wrote: •Growing Fear
Condition • Support Area
At the start of the maneuver phase, you may spot Shelob to make an unbound companion resistance -3 until the regroup phase.
Shadow: Spot X companions with resistance 3 or less to play Shelob; her twilight cost is -X. Discard this condition.
Nice. No comments.
AnxiousChieftain wrote: Sudden Bound
Event • Skirmish
Make Shelob strength +2 (or strength +3 and damage +1 if she is skirmishing a companion with resistance 2 or less).
Simple pump with a nice added effect.
AnxiousChieftain wrote: •Gollum, Deceiving Guide

Interesting. I like how he works with Shelob, Always Hungry; exert Gollum to give Shelob a strength +1 bonus. If Shelob wins the skirmish (which is usually likely), the character takes another wound. Could create some very lovely combinations.
AnxiousChieftain wrote: Endless Brooding
Event • Maneuver
Exert Shelob to add a threat. Then you may spot Gollum to add an additional threat for each companion who has resistance 2 or less.
Simple and effective. Works well with the threat theme.

Condition
Resistance: -2
To play, spot Shelob.
Bearer must be an unbound companion (limit 1 per bearer).
When you play this condition, you may remove a threat or a burden to exert bearer.
I really like this card, especially with the Gollum/Shelob exerting combination you’ve established. Bravo.

Add "until the regroup phase" to his skirmish ability.

Seems a little undercosted compared to cost minions such as Desert Wind. Maybe make him fierce or hunter 1...something. I like the theme, though.
AnxiousChieftain wrote: Treacherous Counsel
Event • Shadow
Exert a Man (or spot Grima) to make a companion (except the Ring-bearer) resistance -3 until the regroup phase. If that companion now has 0 resistance, you may discard each card borne by that companion.
Shouldn’t it be worded as "If that companion has resistance 0.."? I could be wrong, but resistance usually comes before the numerical value (Corrupted Spy).
AnxiousChieftain wrote: Ill News is an Ill Guest
Event • Skirmish
Make a minion strength +2 (or +4 if skirmishing a companion who has resistance 3 or less).
Nice. It’s fine as it is, but I think it would be essentially cool if you also made the minion damage +1 if you can spot a companion with resistance 0. Have a for all the good cards. |
