While skirmishing a companion bearing a card, this minion is fierce.

Needs to be re-worded to say: "At the start of each skirmish involving this minion and a companion bearing a card, this minion is fierce until the regroup phase." Otherwise by its current wording, it would have fierce during the skirmish, but then lose it after it ends.

I’d just make it each condition; makes it less complicated. |

Thanks, everyone!

Sauron cannot take wounds during the archery phase and cannot be assigned to a skirmish.
The twilight cost of each Free Peoples event is +1.
Shadow: Exert Sauron twice to spot an unbound companion. That companion is strength -2 and resistance -2 until the regroup phase. The Free Peoples player may add a burden and a threat to prevent this.

Each time a card is discarded you may spot Sauron to make the Free Peoples player add a burden (or 2 burdens if you can spot a Dwarf). The Free Peoples player may return the discarded card to your hand to prevent this.

It should probably be titled "Sauron" instead of "The Necromancer", as it wouldn’t make much sense to have basically two Saurons running around at the same time.

OUCH! Give the FP player a way out of that. An expensive way, but SOME way. |

| Yeah, just make sure to change references to "The Necromancer" in each card to "Sauron". |

I’d make it: "...add a burden or 2 threats to prevent this." Just seems too powerful otherwise.

I’d cut majority of the text out, just make it so that if you can spot Sauron at all, they can’t discard your minions or conditions. That would be best, methinks. |

Given that the Necromancer doesn’t actually ever fight, I think this card should be like the original versions of Saruman, ie. cannot be assigned to a skirmish or take wounds during the archery phase. Then take his cost down to , and he’ll absolutely rock! You can always make another card that allows him to fight like the staff of saruman.
Also, I think that The Necromancer should be a different personality to Sauron, as the White Council isn’t actually sure if it is Sauron until near the end. That would also more easily justify his seriously reduced stats.

I agree with Foresight in that this card has far too much text, and also as a response you can do it an infinite number of times to the same action.
How about:
’Each time a card is discarded you may spot Sauron to make the Free Peoples player add a burden (or 2 burdens if you can spot a Dwarf). The Free Peoples player may return the discarded card to your hand to prevent this.’
That’s quite a bit simpler, and also not as broken as an auto-corrupt (which is what that card is)!
To clarify what I mean about responses, you can respond to the same action as many times as you can pay the cost. So, if the Witch-King wins a skirmish with the pale blade, he can exert 3 times to discard 3 conditions after winning only 1 fight.
With this card, the FP player discards a card, then you can pay no cost to make them add a burden and exert everyone, then you can do it again and again and again because there’s no cost. They can prevent the first one by returning the card to your hand and adding , but after that there’s nothing they can do because you can only return something to hand once before it’s in hand.

OK bringing the cards back to their hands could be more of a bane then a boon. give them no way to prevent it except maybe discarding companions |
