Then you wouldn’t like my third set. There are artifacts everywhere, and to counter it artifact discard!

I’m very wary of bringing the costs down, there is a rocking way of reducing their twilight cost that might make it too good. If you still think I should reduce it, I will.

Okay, here are the final giant cards for a little support.
• Thunderbattle
Condition • Support Area
Toil 1.
Each time a companion exerts, you may make a Giant gain Terror 1 (each time this minion is assigned to a skirmish, you may make the Free Peoples player exert a companion) until the regroup phase.
Response: If a companion exerts, spot an minion to draw a card. Discard this condition.
All was well, until one day they met a thunderstorm...
H1 R 201
Rock-Hurling
Event • Skirmish
Wound a companion skirmishing a Giant. The Free Peoples player may Lock (cancel the game text) that companion until the end of the turn to prevent this.
Boulders, too, at times, came galloping down the mountainsides... and passed among them (which was lucky), or over their heads (which was alarming).
H1 R 194
And this is the card I was referring to before:
Guffawing And Shouting
Event • Shadow
Spot an minion to play a Giant. Its twilight cost is -2 (-3 at a mountain site).
... their ponies were standing with their heads down and their tails between their legs, and some of them were whinnying with fright.
H1 R 181
And that raps up the giant sub-culture. Following will be the final strategy, that of Three Monstrous Trolls!

Has the ability to be abused like demoralized as companions exert all the time id make it cost like remove 1 or 2 or something to make it gain terror as a free exertion is awesome.

Exert a companion skirmishing a Giant. The Free Peoples player may Lock (cancel the game text) that companion until the end of the turn to prevent this.

Hmmm i never liked the keyword locked so i dont like this but the principle is sound if only the prevention was different. besides losing your gametext seems nasty just to prevent an exertion.
Guffawing And Shouting

Yeah cool fair enough.

I think Thunderbattle is alright - Demoralized was only totally broken with mountain-troll.
I’ll change Rock-Hurling (thanks SoP) but I’d like at least one more opinion on the cost reduction attached to Guffawing and Shouting before I fiddle with it.

Awfully powerful...perhaps raise the cost and slap sometoil on it.

See? I still think its too easy to get exertions from this card, and demoralised was just broke permanently, with the smith/hordes, the orc hammer, the pitiless orc, the rallying orc. Broken!!!!!!! |

Thanks, Dain.
Now here are 3 lovely (though quite uncivilised) Trolls, which tie in very nicely to the obscene drawing swarm earlier in this thread.
• Bert, Eater of Mutton
Minion • Troll
Str: 14
Vit: 4
Sit: 3
Fierce.
The twilight cost of William and Tom is -2.
Shadow: Exert Bert twice to make an Troll gain Terror 1 (each time this minion is assigned to a skirmish, you may make the Free Peoples player exert a companion) until the regroup phase.
’Mutton yesterday, mutton today, and blimey, of it don’t look like mutton again tomorrer.’
H1 C 149
• Tom, Wanter of Manflesh
Minion • Troll
Str: 15
Vit: 4
Sit: 3
Fierce.
The twilight cost of Bert and William is -2.
Each time Tom wins a skirmish, you may draw 2 cards.
’Never a blinking bit of manflesh have we had for long enough...’
H1 U 203
• William, Speaker of Reason
Minion • Troll
Str: 12
Vit: 4
Sit: 3
Fierce.
The twilight cost of Tom and Bert is -2.
William is strength +1 for each card you have in hand.
’You’ve et a village and a half between yer, since we come down from the mountains. How much more d’yer want?
H1 R 214
Some further development next time, but this is enough for you to chew on with your side dish of mutton and dwarf pie!

I think the first part might be better worded "The twilight cost of William and Tom is -2." Fine otherwise.
