Time for lem0nhead to make a DC set! And as the name suggests its based on the Siege of Gondor, but mainly on the battle of the Pellenor. It is a 180 card set. 60R 60U 60C. Though this is open to change.
I have an extended X-list to add to the set:
X List
Frenzy of Arrows
Orkish lackey
You will see a focus on the orcs, Nazgul and evil men in this set with a small splash of Isengard and Gollum.
Free peoples will be predominately Gondor, Rohan and Gandalf with a splash of Elf, Dwarf and some Hobbit.
The set will not use hunter, muster, or toil as there are new keywords. It will not use threats or initiative as I am introducing 2 new mechanics.
Mechanics
Balance - The fellowship is balanced if it has less than 6 companions. It becomes unbalanced if it has 6 or more companions. Shadows and fellowship will take advantage of both.
Ardor - If no companions have died this turn the free peoples player has Ardor. If a companion dies, for the rest of the turn the shadow has Ardor.
Loaded Keywords
Guardian X - While you can spot more minions than companions bearer gains defender + X.
(Inspired by the brave defense of the free peoples in the face of defeat.)
Assaulter X - Each time a shadow skirmish event is played during a skirmish involving a minion of the same culture it is strength + X.
Resourceful - The twilight cost of each card played on bearer is -1.
Unloaded Keywords
Invader - Orc and Men minions will take advantage of this like Besieger or Beserker.
The without further ado, in classic style the first spoiler will be a version of The One Ring.
The One Ring, The Master Ring
Strength: +1
Resistance: +1
Maneuever: Add a burden to wear the One Ring until the regroup phase.
While wearing The One Ring each time bearer is about to take a wound add a burden instead.
"...he forged in secret a master ring..."
Be gentle its my first DC set
Happy reviewing! |

it is called the rule of 5, it is totally unnecessary

sounds cool

The One Ring, The Master Ring
Strength: +1
Resistance: +1

I agree with SoP: you could probably add a vitality +1.

I actually think it’s nice. It’s a sorta common deal, but it’s probably about time we had a nice, general term for it.
Quote: Ardor - If no companions have died this turn the free peoples player has Ardor. If a companion dies, for the rest of the turn the shadow has Ardor.
Interesting. I’ll have to see some cards with this to decide what I think.
Quote: Guardian X - While you can spot more minions than companions bearer gains defender + X.
(Inspired by the brave defense of the free peoples in the face of defeat.)
Interesting. Can’t see it being printed a ton, but still cool.
Quote: Assaulter X - Each time a shadow skirmish event is played during a skirmish involving this minion it is strength + X.
Interesting... Sorta like an elf brother for the shadow side. But shadows don’t usually focus on events... can’t wait to see what happens with this.
Quote: Resourceful - The twilight cost of each card played on bearer is -1.
This one is powerful. But nice, I suppose.
Quote: Invader - Orc and Men minions will take advantage of this like Besieger or Beserker.
Well, I’ll wait and see on this one. Sounds okay, though.
Quote: The One Ring, The Master Ring

Why have I never used that subtitle/lore? I’m going to have to steal your idea on that.
The card itself is a little "meh" but at least it’s unique. If that made sense. It’d be cool if it added some sort of keyword while worn, or did something with Balance or Ardor. |

yeah, i agree with EL. the one ring would be cool if you used some of your keywords/machanics. |

Ok first off; SoP, im not stupid i am aware of the rule of 5 and im not giving a name to something that already exists, the rule of 5 is not official. Im not persecuting 6 companions, im persecuting more than 6 as a generic, and also punishing less than 6 in equal measure to keep things interesting.
Ok people i had an interesting idea from LeoKula regarding this ring which ties in with your thoughts on using my new keywords. Instead of adding vitality how about:
The One Ring, The Master Ring
Strength: +1
Resistance: +1
Maneuver: Add a burden to wear the One Ring until the regroup phase and spot another companion. That companion gains Guardian 1 until the regroup phase.
While wearing The One Ring each time bearer is about to take a wound add a burden instead.
"...he forged in secret a master ring..."
Better?
P.s. EL dont knick my ring name! I was dead chuffed to realise everyone else had overlooked it !
P.p.s. Made a change to Assaulter so its culturally enforced. |

Wouldn’t that mean that any minion can profit from this, even if they themselves don’t have Assaulter? Or would this keyword be placed on conditions and such? |

No LH sorry if im not clear. Im saying the event you play in the assaulter minions skirmish has to be of the same culture. Like u couldnt play violent hurl in a orcs skirmish with assaulter and make him strength + X.
Is that ok? |
