After thinking about it, Short Bow of the Elves should be increased. It works exactly like a 1-cost mount, but gives a strength boost and uses up a different slot.
Today, we’ll go into the other two elven followers, and a minion that goes with another card spoiled earlier - all from the hidden realm of Lorien...
The first is an alternate to a minion seen earlier. He gives the Shadow player the ability to make a minion help in hiding his allies, although he works much better with his army.
•Celeborn, Lothlorien General
Follower
+2 Strength
Aid - Heal a companion.
When transferred to a minion (except an archer), exert bearer. At the start of the assignment phase, you may choose up to 3 minions that share a culture with bearer. Each of those minions are lurkers until the regroup phase.
DU53
The next is the other half of the Royal Duo. While Celeborn hides his warriors, Galadriel hides the non-fighters of her realm. In combination, however, Celeborn and Galadriel make almost anyone a tough opponent. However, the use of her talents requires the Ring-bearer to start becoming greedier.
•Galadriel, Lorien Enchantress
Follower
+1 Vitality
Aid - Remove a burden.
Galadriel may only be transferred to an minion.
Response: If bearer is about to take a wound, remove to prevent that wound.
DR61
The last minion in this post prefers to stay back, and shoot as opposed to his partner, who hunts.
 •Rumil, Lorien Hunter
Minion • Elf
6 Strength
2 Vitality
7 Site Number
Archer. While you can spot another unique Elf, Rumil’s site number is -1.
Archery: Exert Rumil to make the Free Peoples player exert a companion.
DC68 |

I like the aid cost a lot. Very neat idea.  Add a comma after "non-archer", and instead of "that share a culture with bearer" it should "of the same culture as bearer"...I think. But the rest is good. Complicated, but good.

Yeah, basically just some dumb, but simple mistakes. As for the ’that share a culture’ as opposed to ’of the same culture’, I was thinking that when cultures can be added (maybe not to legal targets, but may be later) that it would simplify questions. So I think I’ll leave it for now, unless I get some replies that it wouldn’t be too bad.
And today finishes up the Elven minions. There will be one more spoiler post of cards here, but the elves are almost over for this set.
Many cards have ways of repaying their costs, especcially for minions. One of the first well known is Goblin Runner. Our first minion takes on that idea, as a guard of the Elves that are headed to sail off into the West.
Elven Escort
Minion • Elf
5 Strength
2 Vitality
4 Site Number
When you play this minion, spot another Elf to add .
DC56
The next is the guard at home. The escort guards those that leave, and the guard guards those that stay.
Elven Guard
Minion • Elf
6 Strength
2 Vitality
4 Home Site
Skirmish: Discard a card stacked on an condition to make this minion strength +2 (limit +4).
DU57
After the guards, come a group that travel for battle. Much like Celeborn, this minion excels with archers. He allows you to convert your volley of arrows into a fighting technique.
 Galadhrim War-troop
Minion • Elf
10 Strength
3 Vitality
7 Home Site
Archer. To play, spot an Elf.
Archery: Make the minion archery total -1 (to a minimum of 0) to make this minion strength +2 until the regroup phase.
DR59
The last is the Galadriel that the world outside of Lorien ’knows’. She is a spell-weaver, entrapping those who wander into her realm.
 •Galadriel, Elf-Witch
Minion • Elf
6 Strength
3 Vitality
7 Home Site
The twilight cost of each card is -1.
Shadow: If the fellowship is at a forest, exert Galadriel and spot another Elf to exert a companion.
DR60 |

Should probably be "spot another Elf", just to avoid possible confusion.

Archer.
Archery: Make the minion archery total -1 (limit +0) to make this minion strength +2 until the regroup phase.
DR59
Instead of "(limit +0)", I’d recommend going with the more conventional "(to a minimum of 0)". Also, expensive as it is, this one could probably do well from spotting and Elf or two to play it, or do some exerting or serious spotting in that archery ability.
BattleWarg wrote: •Galadriel, Elf-Witch

Each card costs 1 less twilight.
Shadow: If the fellowship is at a forest, exert Galadriel and spot another Elf to exert a companion.
DR60
Again, the more common "The twilight cost of each card is -1" is probably better. Maybe lower her strength to 5, though it’s hardly necessary. Just seems a little high right now. *shrug*
Bravo on making a cool Shadow side.  GP as soon as I can give one. |

When transferred to a non-archer, non- minion, exert bearer. At the start of the assignment phase, you may choose up to 3 minions that share a culture with bearer. Each of those minions are lurkers until the regroup phase.

just make in non-elvem IMO. otherwise it gets confusing. how about at the end of the assignment phase? that would make for an interesting...twist

Galadriel may only be transferred to an minion.

make it transferred to elven minions I think. the probably with aids like these, is if they end up with zero burdens/wounds(wounds would be hard but burdens...you can’t transfer them

make it either cost 2, or you get to choose who to exert, oh wait he still adds to the archery total. forget everything I said  |

Yeah, changing Elven Escort to ’another’ elf. Added a spot ability and reduced the cost by 1 of Galadhrim War-troop. I did change Elven Guard to not require an card to be discarded, as it fits the Realm of Imladris, giving non- cards something to do. Galadriel also dropped 1 twilight.
Celeborn’s ability was changed to a simpler wording that had the same effect. As for making it ’end of the assignment phase’, I generally don’t like abilities that occur at the end of a phase. The only end of a phase that comes up usually is ’at the end of the regroup phase’, and almost also to end an ability.
And tonight is the end of the elves.
The elves are, of course, the main figure of light and good in Middle-earth. Sauron on the other hand, is not. So, of course, a simple strength boost showing that inner light is the first card tonight.
Destructive Light
Event • Skirmish
Make an minion strength +2. If that minion is skirmishing a  or  character, exert that character.
DU54
The next is the main hand weapon of the elves in this set. It allows their natural grace as well as their affinity for what most consider magic to shine through.
Swift Blade
Possession • Hand Weapon
+1 Strength
Bearer must be an Elf. When you play this possession, you may add for each condition in your support area.
DC74
The last is the elves using their abilities to use water to their advantage. It uses an ability I don’t think I’ve ever seen in a Shadow card, but is very similar to a Decipher card.
Water-ways
Event • Skirmish
Exert an Elf to make him strength +2 (or, if the fellowship is at a river, cancel a skirmish involving that Elf)
DC76
And that’s all for the Elven Realms. Tomorrow, the trees will rise and begin their storm with the Wizards in: Siege of Isengard, featuring the  Shadow of the Dark Minions. But I will be responding to reviews on the Dunlendings or the Elves. |
Our time here is ending...

Good, simple pump. Because of the exertion, though, you might want to make it cost .
