He’s nice but should probably cost  and I also don’t like him having 2 abilities entirely dependent on your opponent using certain decks to be of use. Maybe the second could come from spotting say 5  Orcs?

Gah! I is not knowing what to do! Too many opinions and only one Bolg. Maybe i should just make 2 versions of him cos i cant find a settlement on this dude.
I do get you though Thran i dont like the idea of depending solely on opponents using dwarves but most people wnated the old one altering and it fits in with the story this way. |

Ok so i had a design for Denethor and a possession/artifact for AP’s DC contest but SoP didnt like my idea and we went for something different. Id like peoples opinions on these:
 • Denethor, Son Of Ecthelion 
Companion • Man
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Res: 5
While you can spot Boromir, Denethor is twilight cost -1 and strength +2.
Fellowship: Exert Denethor to play a artifact with twilight cost 0 from your draw deck.
"The rule of gondor is mine, and no others!"
 • Seeing Stone of Minas Anor, Eye of the White Tower
Artifact • Palantir
Resistance: -2
Bearer must be Denethor.
At the start of the fellowship phase you may reveal a shadow players hand. You may then exert Denethor and add a threat to discard a shadow card revealed. That shadow player then draws a card.
"I have seen more than you know."
What do you think? Good synergy? |

’Make’ should be ’may’ in the last one, but good job on having a palantir borne by Denethor, and nice lore! As for the card itself, good resistance thing, but the threat might be a bit too much - there aren’t that many fellowship phases in a game.
As for the Denethor, his text is rock, but making his twilight cost just -1 isn’t that useful given that Boromir is . I’d consider swapping the 2 and the 1 for his strength and twilight cost stuff. And it might also be worth thinking about making his ability at the start of turn or at the start of the fellowship phase.
All in all, nice cards!

Ill change typo cheers. I reckon the threat thing is neccesary as if i can choose ANY shadow minion in your hand its gonna cripple the shadow player, i could remove ugluk, the balrog, bomb gothmog etc.. key characters to a tactic.
I thought about the fellowship ability but decided how many 0 costing artifacts are there?!
I was thinking of that twilight reduction if you start him with boromir the ARB.... Then you could also start faramir captain of ithilien.
Any more reviews? |

Ok wants more opinions on these pair:
• Denethor, Son Of Ecthelion
Companion • Man
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Res: 5
While you can spot Boromir, Denethor is twilight cost -1 and strength +2.
Fellowship: Exert Denethor to play a artifact with twilight cost 0 from your draw deck.
"The rule of Gondor is mine, and no others!"
• Seeing Stone of Minas Anor, Eye of the White Tower
Artifact • Palantir
Resistance: -2
Bearer must be Denethor.
At the start of the fellowship phase you may reveal a shadow players hand. You may then exert Denethor and add a threat to discard a shadow card revealed. That shadow player then draws a card.
"I have seen more than you know."
Plus here’s a card i didnt submit for my Balrog competition as my condition. reviews please...
 • Deep Places
Condition • Support Area
While The Balrog is at an underground site it is strength +1.
While The Balrog is at a mountain each companion skirmishing it is strength -1.
While The Balrog is at a battleground it gains hunter 1.

Cool. Maybe have the special skill add also.

Cool. The cost is quite heavy, but the gain might be worthwhile.

Cool. This at Mount Doom would rule. |

I agree with WLC. Also, make sure to capitalize "Gondor" in the lore.

Looks good to me.

Missing some commas, but good otherwise. WLC is right: this would kick BUTT at Mount Doom, and is pretty good (appropriately enough) at the Bridge of Khazad-dum as well.  Considering how expensive Ol’ Balgy is, though, I think you can safely bring the cost down to . |
