Definitely a versatile card. Uruk Possessions is now a viable decktype, since they can get past archery and then have a boost in skirmish.
It’s definitely not overpowered though, since it can fall victim to condition removal such as Namarie. But woe to the archery player who doesn’t pack condition removal!
Combo this card with:
Uruk Decimator (big strong minion)
Endless Assault (more strength)
Entranced Uruk (possessions can’t get discarded!)
Covetous Uruk (more strength!)

Darn you for getting this up before mine!!!
Anyway, from my all-too-late post:
This brings to mind the old broad-bladed swords and Saruman’s Ambition.
Nice cards, those. Very useful.
And this one costs 2, instead of 1 like the sword + 0 from the condition. A little more balanced in cost, but since its a condition its stays out unlike the sword, so now every weapon is a Broad-bladed Sword. Plus, unlike the ambition, it adds a bit more constriction to its use; must be bearing a possession. Yeah, I think that may be more balanced. Definitely seeing two or three of these in my Uruk decks.
I give it a 4, just beacuse not everyone hordes uruk weapons.
Edit: fixed typo. |

Sweet! 5, since  has so much condition removal, they can get rid of Namarie. |

That’s why I don’t even try.  AC’s a beast with this stuff.
I give this a 5. It’s so refreshing to see an inventive card that reinforces a weak strategy WITHOUT completely breaking another one and WITHOUT being overpowered or broken itself. |

Sweet card!  FP archery is practically obsolete, and it doubles as a skirmish pump! 
A 5 from me!  |

I know... I leave the computer for a couple hours, and just miss it (and I checked just a little while before he posted this, so I just missed it).
But a really good card, and extremely easy to splash when needed (becoming useful whenever you get an minion with a possession). |
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  ). |
