*Morgoth, Dark Enemy of the World
Minion * Valar
Strength: 30
Vitality: 7
Site: 6
Damage +2. Fierce. Enduring.
When you play Morgoth, you may remove from the game X cards from your discard pile to make Morgoth twilight cost -X.
If you play Morgoth for or less, discard every other minion you can spot and you cannot play other minions.
Each time Morgoth wins a skirmish, you may add a threat for each Free Peoples culture you can spot.
They built lands and Melkor destroyed them; valleys they delved and Melkor raised them up; mountains they carved and Melkor threw them down; seas they hollowed and Melkor spilled them...
I felt that before I made a lot of other cards (especially culture ones...) I needed a Morgoth. At least one more version of him (probably with toil) will come into this set later... but I’d like to see the opinions on this one. Stats, cost, abilities... all of these need to fixed so they feel "right." What do you guys think?
*Cruel Spirits, Charges of Melkor
Minion * Creature
Strength: 12
Vitality: 2
Site: 4
This minion is strength +1 for each threat you can spot.
Companions cannot take threat wounds.
When this minion is discarded, remove all threats.
Maneuver: Spot 3 minions to add up to 9 threats.
Whatsoever was cruel or violent or deadly in those days is laid to his charge.
Not sure how that ought to have been worded, I hope it works as is. I didn’t want to have the two gained abilities just on the card, unless the Shadow Player actually chooses to use the ability.
Ice and Fire
Event * Maneuver
Exert 3 minions (or spot Morgoth) to choose one: make the Free Peoples player exert a companion for each mountain site on the adventure path, or add a threat for each underground site on the adventure path.
...and he wielded cold and fire, from the tops of the mountains to the deep furnaces that are beneath them. |

There’s no reason not to make him enduring, really (unless you have a lot of cards that exert minions)! Interesting second ability, though I’m not sure whether it works. And I’d change the wording of the first bit to ’you may remove from the game X cards from your discard pile...’

It certainly needs to add ’until the regroup phase’, and I think I would personally just put those abilities on the card itself and make him useless without 3 minions.

I agree with all that Thran said, including the enduring bit.

Lore of Aule
Event * Fellowship
Spot 2 Dwarves to take a artifact (or 2 tales) from your discard pile into hand.
Of him comes the lore and knowledge of the Earth and of an things that it contains.
Manwe’s Messengers
Event * Maneuver
Toil 2.
Spot a Wizard (or Spirit companion) to reveal a shadow player’s hand. Remove a card in it from the game. Then, remove a card in their discard pile from the game.
If both cards removed this way were shadow cards, make a companion strength +2 until the regroup phase.
Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world.
Sapphire Sceptre
Artifact * Hand Weapon
Vitality: +1
To play, spot a Elf. Bearer must be Manwe.
At the start of each skirmish involving Manwe, you may discard 2 cards from hand to exert a minion in that skirmish twice.
His raiment is blue, and blue is the fire of his eyes, and his sceptre is of sapphire. |

Nice, but compared to Defending the Keep, this should probably cost .

There’s a whole lot of ’m’s in the first two lines. What’s a spirit? Have we seen any yet? I think it’s too good. Increase the cost and add a toil, or maybe let the Shadow player choose the card (and remove the second ability). Also, I don’t think this should be able to get rid of FP cards. And ’shadow’ should be capitalised.

Seems a bit over the top. How much vitality are the minions going to have that you need to exert them for each guy you can spot? Reduce the discarding cards and reduce the effect. Oh, and ’elf’ needs a capital E.

Means at the start of each skirmish involving them, you have to exert them or add a burden.
*The Hall of the Seven Fathers
Condition * Support Area
To play, exert a Dwarf.
Each time the fellowship moves to an underground site (or the fellowship’s current site is replaced with an underground site) add a token here.
Skirmish: Remove 2 tokens (or 1 token if the fellowship is at an underground site) from here to make a Dwarf strength +1 and damage +1.
He wrought in secret: and he made first the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves in a hall under the mountains in Middle-earth.
Unyeilding Dwarf
Companion * Dwarf
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
While you can spot 3 tales, this companion is damage +1.
Skirmish: Discard a tale from hand to heal a spirit companion.
He wished therefore that they should be strong and unyielding. |
