Today we begin the second half of the culture. Like some of the culture’s ancestors, this half of Sauron’s lackeys deals primarily with bearing possessions. Sub-strategies still include dwelling in the darkness of underground sites and even more cultural tokens!

Plundering Goblin
Minion • Orc
Strength: 8
Vitality: 2
Site: 4
Shadow: Exert this minion and remove to play an possession on this minion from your discard pile.
Long have the goblins enjoyed the spoils of Balin’s halls.

Why would I use this over Scavenging Goblins?

Blackened Blade
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be an minion.
Bearer is strength +1 for each wound on each character in its skirmish (or strength +2 if the fellowship is at an underground site).
"Some of the swords were crooked: orc-scimitars with blackened blades."

Nice. You need to design a remake of the Goblin Scimitar as well...

•Spoils of Moria
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot an minion.
Each time an minion wins a skirmish, you may exert that minion to transfer a possession borne by a character in that skirmish to one of your minions. Your minion gains all strength bonuses from that possession.

So, by winning a skirmish, you get rid of a possession and give your Orc a pump. Can you say, broken?

I’m not sure if the last card will work. I might have to include something about treating it as a Shadow possession.

if you want to make it slightly better, make it just play an orc possession.

I don’t think you need to say he gains the strength bonuses. you might need to say it is treated as of his culture.

how about: Each time an minion wins a skirmish, you may exert that minion to discard a possession born by a character in that skirmish to make an [orc] minion strength +X, where X is the strength bonus of the weapon discarded.

Still deliberating on Spoils of Moria, so there’s still plenty of time to leave your feedback on it, should you have any. I’m going to recap the culture once it is finished before I move on to the next culture, explaining some of the new, interesting strategies that I’ve created.

•Goblin Commander
Minion • Orc
Strength: 9
Vitality: 2
Site: 4
While this minion bears a possession, each minion gains hunter 1 (or hunter 2 if the fellowship is at an underground site).

good.

Covetous Goblin
Minion • Orc
Strength: 5
Vitality: 2
Site: 4
Hunter 1.
While you can spot a possession, this minion is strength +2 (or strength +4 and fierce if the fellowship is at an underground site).

i would make it cost and have a base strength of 6. it seems just a little too undercosted.

Exert an minion and discard a possession borne by that minion to play another possession on it from your discard pile.

Nice card there, although it’s fairly powerful. Imagine having a horde of troll hunters!

Hmm...I like it. Very nice.

Exert an minion and discard a possession borne by that minion to play another possession on it from your discard pile.
Interesting...reminds me a little of Plundered Armories. Intended? I’m not sure why you’d want to discard one possession to play another, though.
