Hmmm...I think the concept is okay, but I don’t like the actual word "Blade-master". I’ll see if I can think up some suggestions, but I would recommend coming up with something else.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I’ll give a to whoever comes up with a name for it that I like.


Make that ability spot another companion or two, because otherwise she’s too good a splash companion.

I’ll change that.

Wow! Insta-death to 3 vitality minions, unless you blade-mastered them before hand, then it’s insta-death to 4 vitality minions. I’d definately make it exert a minion twice instead of wound. Or, have it discard an exhausted minion skirmishing him.

I brought down the cost to and I also changed it so that now you remove it from the game to wound the minion twice because I noticed that you would’ve been able to stack it on sword rack and have it back every turn.



You could make it more interesting by giving the Shadow player a chance to prevent it by...: "...you may remove 2 threats. The Shadow player may remove a burden to prevent the removal of those threats." If I said "...to prevent this." That would also mean preventing assigning Eowyn to a skirmish. Nice cards man, nice cards...an interesting keyword too!

Good idea, I’ll change it.

Maybe I’ll change the keyword to Guardian.

Here are the first cards, they focus on wounding minions in the maneuver and archery phases and then finishing them off in the skirmish phase.

A new keyword: Guardian: At the start of the maneuver phase, you may exert this character to exert an opponents character (except the Ring-bearer).
doesn’t work. you can’t involve an opponents in-active characters in the game. unless you mean this is a freeps and minions keyword. in that case it works. which it probably is. So I just totally misinterpreted it.
