 Add the popcorn smiley to your sig, help it achieve world domination.
What if the hokey pokey really IS what its all about? 
As I lay in bed staring at the stars last night, I thought to myself, "where the heck is the ceiling?"

Like Shagrat a lot!
Given the theme of these cards, I would take out the underground bit from the second ability of the Balrog. And the subtitle is a bit too similar to Terror of Khazad-Dum. Maybe it should be Demon of Morgoth?
Treacherous Toad is a fantastic subtitle, but I’m worried that he might be too good. Maybe exert each companion with low resistance, or some other condition that ties in with a theme of your set?
Bard is rocking, but I prefer ’Dragon-Slayer’ as a subtitle.
I look forward to seeing some more cards as cool as these.

Spoiler for the set: No  culture, and revived!  |
In his eyes was the look of a hunted beast seeking some gap in the ring of his enemies.  |

| They’re good; don’t think Shagrat needs those "you can spot"s, though. |

No problems I can see, though the subtitle is kinda meh.

When you play Gollum, spot 6 companions to make the Free Peoples player exert every companion.
Each time Gollum wins a skirmish, add a threat.

There’s that Rule of 5 enforcement again.  I’d instead do something like "when you play Gollum, the Free Peoples player must exert X companions, where X is the number of companions over 4". Or something similiar, because exerting potentially EVERY companion AND adding threats is a bit much.

"Man" needs to be capitalized. I also think there needs to be some low cost for that ability, like adding or exerting a companion or something. |

There are a lot of Gollum’s already, but this one is certainly a great addition to the arsenal of the Gollum culture. Maybe make the exertions conditional, though. For example, two exertions for each companion over 5.

This is my favorite card of the lot. A great addition to the Gandalf Men. The archer is a nice touch, and the special skill is well-thought of. |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you. |
