Interesting. It chokes the twilight pool in the fellowship, and then gives it back and then some in the maneuver.
Cuts of the ability to play minions, but gives them some stuff to use in the maneuver. Evil men are gonna love this, but Nazgul will hate it. Its kind of a meta based card, and rather specific.
Oh, and it requires exerting Gandalf. But its a spell, which Gandalf loves using. Hm...
And then removing it from the game prevents recursion. I give it a 3. |

 Add the popcorn smiley to your sig, help it achieve world domination.
What if the hokey pokey really IS what its all about? 
As I lay in bed staring at the stars last night, I thought to myself, "where the heck is the ceiling?"

| I give it a 4, mostly for the coolness factor. That can either destroy the Shadow player...or shoot yourself in the foot. I think it will help more often than it hurts, though, and it can help a LOT. |

Check out Lasting Alliances, The Road Ahead, and Ages of Middle-earth, three of my five dream card sets that make up Wars of the Ring. Oh, and I have a trade list now!
Also, if you're into DCs or RPGs (or even if you're not!), check out Realms of Middle-earth, the sequel to CG's "DC Adventure", Realms of the North! |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

| A 4 from me. It’d be cool to play it and then discard it somehow before the maneuver phase. |

| I give it a 2. Not something that I’d want to waste precious deck space on and it being a rare? Doesn’t seem worth it. |

| Sleep, Caradhras, Grown Suddenly Tall, New-awakened, and sometimes Introspection can all discard this after it’s played, but before it gives back the twilight. |

Yeah, but how many are useful?
Assuming you get 3 or more twilight in the pool, have Gandalf and then play this:
Sleep, Caradhras - Exert Gandalf twice to discard each condition.
Grown Suddenly Tall - 2 twilight and exert Gandalf to discard each condition.
New-Awakened - 3 twilight and exert Gandalf to discard a condition
New-Awakened - 1 twilight, exert Gandalf and exert a  character to discard a condition.
New-Awakened - Exert Gandalf and 2 characters to discard a condition and remove  .
Introspection - Exert Gandalf to remove if at a battleground.
Actually, not too bad. Although it’s an interesting thing that discarding a single condition rather than each condition is a single twilight token. And an exertion is worth  ... |

What did you want to see before the end?
It will be made in the Request-a-card Set #1 (name ideas also welcome  ). |

Twilight choke can easily become too powerful and cause NPEs (witness the X-listing of No Stranger to the Shadows, Sting, Aragorn, Heir to the White City), but I think this is an extremely well-designed card. Removing  twilight is fantastic, but you have to be reasonably sure that the Shadow player(s) won’t be able to use the  twilight they’ll get bNOLINKack later in the turn. If your opponent can use that twilight for archery events, skirmish pumps, special abilities, etc. -- or if you need to double-move -- then you’ve just shot yourself in the foot.
Raptor22 raises a very good point about mass condition removal nullifying the risk. But since those are some very expensive cards, you could also argue that they also remove some of Our Time’s usefulness. It wouldn’t really be twilight choke in a deck like that, just flood prevention. |
