Cards edited slightly.
Well folks, looks like we’ve come to the end of another one of my sets. I’ve got just one card slot left, and I’ve decided to use it on The Mouth of Sauron.
 •The Mouth of Sauron, Black NumenoreanNOLINK 
Minion • Man
Strength: 9
Vitality: 3
Site Number: 5
When you play The Mouth of Sauron, if you have initiative, you may exert him to draw 2 cards.
Shadow: Exert The Mouth of Sauron and discard 4 cards from hand to take a Shadow card into hand from your discard pile.
The splash minion of our day. This card is sweet. I would stick him in a Corsair bomb, or a  swarm.  Generating as much twilight as Moria does, 4 extra cards could be sweet. Especially if you pick up some Goblin Scimitars, to generate more twilight and draw more cards . His card drawing abilities make him perfect for a cycle as well.

Balanced. Excellent idea; makes a wonderful splash minion with your  culture.

Damage +1. Fierce. Enduring. Intimidating.
When you play Sauron, discard each minion. Then you may remove from the game X minions from your discard pile to make Sauron’s twilight cost -X.
Other minions may not be played.
The only problem I have is the sub-title. Wouldn’t "Master of Treachery" be sufficient? Or have I missed its location in text?

Hunter 2. Fierce.
While you can spot another hunter, Lurtz is damage +1.
While you can spot a companion who has resistance 2 or less, Lurtz is intimidating.
Very cool. Congratulations on completing yet another set! I look forward to the next one you have in store for us.  |

I actually got the subtitle from the chapter "The Black Gate Opens", when Gandalf is talking to the Mouth of Sauron. By the way, ’base’ means: morally low; without estimable personal qualities; dishonorable; meanspirited; selfish; cowardly.
Anyways, I myself was contemplating shortening the subtitle too, so I think I’ll go ahead and do that.
Lurtz now includes an optional way to gain intimidating.
Thanks! Look for a complete spoiler list later today.

| Both look great. I kinda prefer the old, longer title for Sauron myself, though either is okay. |

Alright, switched back to Base Lord of Treachery.
Thank y’all so much for the reviews! The set is now completed, and I’m posting the spoiler list right now. I plan to give an extra GP to everyone who reviewed something in this thread, so I’ll be compiling a list of the various reviewers.
Thanks again!

| what i am saying you should do with the mouth, is make it so the shadow HAS to have initiative. That makes him work well with your corsairs, but you can’t just splash him without thinking ahead usually(though the free peoples player will give you initiative now and then) |
