Nice!!! Very expensive, but has an amazing ability. Now you just need to find a way to add twilight in regroup... hmm... maybe Grima, Witless Worm?
My only question is about what happens if the Free Peoples player chooses the RB as one of the companions as well as say Aragorn, and then chooses to put Aragorn in the dead pile. What happens next? The RB can’t be returned to hand, but I’m pretty sure that you’re just supposed to carry out as much of the effect as possible and so you would just skip it. That kinda would make it worse, unless Decipher clarified it.

Well, if Frodo hadn’t stopped in the middle of the tunnel to brush his teeth like that, he wouldn’t have been caught off-guard by Shelob in the first place...
Silly Frodo. |

| A bunch of ambush guys would get this effect off easily. It kills the 8 man starting fellowship... |

WHOA!
I’m lovin this card! Expensive, but well worth it. A dead one, and one returned to hand.
A great card to discard, and pull with Incited when you can use it. I’ll definately want a copy or two for my NG deck.
And the picture is cool.

On the other side, if you can pull it off with just the Ring-bearer... |
Our time here is ending...
What did you want to see before the end?
It will be made in the Request-a-card Set #1 (name ideas also welcome  ). |

| Whoa, amazing. Love the possiblities, especially against twilight-flooding Ents. Great Beasts was the only card that really took on twilight left in regroup. Well, that one didn’t really pack much of an oomph. But how about this one? |

For 6+ companion fellowships, Sting of Shelob is nice but not significantly better than some of the other options available, IMO. (Ulaire Cantea, Black Assassin.)
But for other sorts of twilight floods, including floods you might be able to create as the Shadow player... there’s lots of potential here. |

| Cant seem to rate this higher than a 3. Any non minion costing 10 isnt good in my opinion let alone the rules minefield pointed out already about discarding the ringbearer. Nice idea but 10??? Gees. |

If such a nice idea was for 5 only then we would have a new blow in the forums for broken cards and such. A 5 from me! |
