You can play smaug and these over region 2 and have a twilight bomb set up for site 9 when u could flood it and mince the freeps. Condition discard wrecks it obviously but thats true of most decks. Id still be wary of it.
Changed. How is it now?

| Yeah thats fine. I think i need to dwell on your mechanic i while longer, and its implications before i judge your next lot. I cant seem to balance it in my head. |

I was really hoping for another review or 2, but you can’t have everything I guess.
So, moving on:
 Desolation 
Event • Skirmish
To play, spot Smaug and discard a Shadow card from play. For each site stacked on that Shadow card, make an unbound companion strength -2 (limit -4).
... they could see in the wide valley shadowed by the Mountain’s arms the grey ruins of ancient houses, towers and walls.
H2 U 148
Barren Lands
Event • Maneuver
To play, spot Smaug and discard a Shadow card from play. For each site stacked on that Shadow card, discard a condition from play.
There was little grass, and before long there was neither bush nor tree, and only broken and blackened stumps to speak of ones long vanished.
H2 R 140
And a totally unrelated card to go with them:
 Spout of Flame
Event • Maneuver
Exert Smaug to make the Free Peoples player wound a companion. You may do this again if you can spot 6 companions.
Fire leapt from the dragon’s jaws...
H2 U 165

As it stands you can barely have ANYthing let alone everything in the reviewing area.
So, moving on:
Desolation
Event • Skirmish
To play, spot Smaug and discard a Shadow card from play. For each site stacekd on that Shadow card, make an unbound companion strength -1.
... they could see in the wide valley shadowed by the Mountain’s arms the grey ruins of ancient houses, towers and walls.
H2 U 148
Stacked typo. Oof. Nice. Maybe and resistance -1.
Barren Lands
Event • Maneuver
To play, spot Smaug and discard a Shadow card from play. For each site stacekd on that Shadow card, discard a condition from play.
There was little grass, and before long there was neither bush nor tree, and only broken and blackened stumps to speak of ones long vanished.
H2 R 140
Stacked typo. Copy and paste eh?  Fair enough, shame title was used in mount doom.
And a totally unrelated card to go with them:
Spout of Flame
Event • Maneuver
Exert Smaug to make the Free Peoples player wound a companion. If you can spot 6 companions, you may repeat this.
Fire leapt from the dragon’s jaws...
H2 U 165
I wouldnt say repeat as it sounds an undefined limit. Say you may do this again if you can spot 6 companions. Sound.

Just checked. The card in Mount Doom is "Barren Land" - mine has a crucial ’s’!

works for me.

I like the companion hate, maybe you get to choose them if you can spot 6 |

Thanks guys. Have a  each for being such loyal reviewers!
Now for some slightly different uses of site-stacking:
Befouled
Event • Shadow
Spot Smaug to choose one: stack a random site from your opponent’s adventure deck on your Shadow card; or discard a stacked site.
Fire leaped from thatched roofs and wooden beam-ends as he hurtled down and past and round again...
H2 C 142
Flickering Fires
Event • Maneuver
Spot Smaug and discard a site stacked on your Shadow card to choose one: add  ; draw a card; or exert a companion.
Flames unquenchable sprang high into the night.
H2 C 154
Frightful Guardian
Event • Regroup
Spot Smaug and discard a site stacked on your Shadow card to choose one: add a burden; discard a condition; or discard a follower.
He was just about to step out... when he caught a sudden thin and piercing ray of red from under the dropping lid of Smaug’s left eye.
H2 R 155
And another miscellaneous card for the weekend:
Dire Menace
Event • Shadow
Play Smaug from your discard pile or hand. His twilight cost is -4 and he is strength -6 until the end of the turn.
Smaug left his lair in silent stealth, quietly soared into the air, and then floated heavy and slow in the dark like a monstrous crow...

I was toying with the same idea but decided against allowing Smaug to be played 8 times in a game.
