Thanks for the comments, everyone! They are most appreciated. All who have reviewed will receive a for their kind efforts to further this set.

I’ve made some alternations to Black Feather, as per suggestions. The spotting requirement of an token was dropped, as two archers should be adequate. Also, the ability has been changed from removing to removing 2 tokens, as it fits one of the themes that my culture contains...

Theme? Did someone say theme? Indeed I did! One of the main sub-strategies of the culture is cultural tokens, as this culture seemed to be abandoned in the token frenzy of Bloodlines. Perhaps it would be best to demonstrate this through today’s cards.

Archer.
While you can spot 5 or more culture tokens, the minion archery total is +2.

A Desert Wind...

Archer’s Ledge
Condition • Support Area
When you play this condition, add an token here for each archer you can spot.
Archery: If the fellowship is at an underground site, remove an token from here or discard this condition to make the minion archery total +1.

Ouch. Rather...powerful. Compare to Howdah

Whistling Arrows
Event • Archery
Exert an archer to make the Free Peoples choose 2 companions. Exert each other companion. Then, if the fellowship is at an underground site, reinforce an token.
"An arrow whistled over Frodo’s head."

Okay, this strategy is already reinforcing better than Corsairs. This is creeping me out...this deck will own everything...

Yeah, like NB said, this is almost an exact copy of Desert Wind. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but you may want to find a way to make it a little more unique.

Again, what NB said. This is too good. Maybe exert an Orc archer in addition to removing the token or something, and perhaps add a cap on the number of tokens initially added. 3 would probably be good.

OUCH! Maybe limit it with something like this:

Whistling Arrows
Event • Archery
Exert an archer to make the Free Peoples choose 2 companions. Exert X other companions, where X is the number of archers you can spot.
"An arrow whistled over Frodo’s head."

Note I removed the token part entirely. Neat idea, but way too powerful with all the exertions this already adds.

Vicious Bowman
Minion • Orc
Strength: 8
Vitality: 2

Archer.
Shadow: If the fellowship is at an underground site, exert this minion to make one of your other minions gain archer until the regroup phase.

"Beyond the fire he saw swarming black figures..."

•Black Feather
Condition
Resistance: -1
To play, spot two archers. Bearer must be a companion (except the Ring-bearer).
Each time bearer takes a wound during the archery phase, you may remove 2 tokens to discard a possession borne by bearer.

"Another pierced Gandalf’s hat and stuck there like a black feather."

Arrows Fell Among Them
Event • Archery
Exert an archer at an underground site to make the minion archery total +1 and reinforce an token.

"One struck Frodo and sprang back."

While you can spot 5 or more culture tokens, the minion archery total is +2 (or +3 if the fellowship is at an underground site).

Archer’s Ledge
Condition • Support Area
When you play this condition, add an token here for each archer you can spot.
Archery: If the fellowship is at an underground site, remove an token from here or discard this condition to make the minion archery total +1 (limit once per turn).

Whistling Arrows
Event • Archery
Exert an archer to make the Free Peoples choose 2 companions. Exert X other companions, where X is the number of archers you can spot.
"An arrow whistled over Frodo’s head."

I would drop the vitality to 2.

I would actually be in favor of a whole new idea for the card, because what with the previous card these Orcs seem to basically be carbon copies of archery.

On to today’s card, which continue to add to the archery strategy!

Goblin Sharpshooter
Minion • Orc
Strength: 7
Vitality: 2

While the fellowship is at an underground site, this minion is an archer.

OK I would make him archer and if at an underground site you may exert him to wound a companion he doesn’t add to said archery total

Bow of the Black Pit
Possession • Ranged Weapon
Strength: +1
Bearer must be an minion.
Bearer is an archer.
works for me

Secure Vantage
Event • Archery
Toil 1.
Heal a companion to make the Free Peoples player wound another companion.
The dark chasm of Moria provided the goblin bowmen an advantage over the Nine Walkers.

Raise the cost to or drop the strength boost. Otherwise this is way too good.

Very interesting. Perhaps lower the cost to and spot an archer.
