Sometimes they rode on wolves like men do on horses...

Id swap the order of those sentences around but hey ho. Id hope you cant take advantage too much of vitality or this needs to cost.

To play, discard 2 cards from hand.
... many of their own wolves were turning upon them and rending the dead and the wounded.

Again, for 0 cost they best not be abusable, its just too cheap. How do you justify this?

3 Great Wolf Orc
Possession • Mount
Str: +2
Vit: +3
Bearer must be an Orc Orc. Bearer cannot be exerted.
Response: If bearer is about to take a wound in a skirmish, discard a card from hand to prevent it.

Because most of the Orcs of this block have no more than 1 vitality and no exertion abilities. As the for the old Orc culture, they may be a little broken, but they can’t be any worse than the Wargs from RoS!

Ok having 1 vitality helps, obviously i didnt know that, but im still not sure +2 on each stats should ever be free. It remains to be seen. The dunlendings had no vitality and there weapons were free but gave no more than +3 strength. Not +2 and +2 vitality. Show me some orcs Thran!

Your wish is my command, oh Juicy-Headed One! (well, up to a point)! Razz

Firstly, there are all the Orcs from the last set at this link of which, as far as I remember, only the Great Goblin is unable to bear a Wolf.

Secondly, here are some basic Orc minions (based on the old Warg-riders):

2 Goblin Wolf-rider Orc
Minion • Orc
Str: 6
Vit: 1
Sit: 4
While this minion has at least 2 vitality, it is strength +2.
’They ride upon wolves, and Wargs are om their train!’
H2 C 120

2 Goblin Outrider Orc
Minion • Orc
Str: 6
Vit: 1
Sit: 4
While this minion has at least 2 vitality, it is ambush 2.
These were the swiftest wolf-riders, and already their cries and howls rent the air afar.
H2 C 117

3 Goblin Cavalry Orc
Minion • Orc
Str: 8
Vit: 2
Sit: 4
While this minion has at least 3 vitality, it is strength +2.
While this minion has at least 4 vitality, it is ambush 2.
’The Goblins are upon you!’
H2 C 110

2 Goblin Commander Orc

A wee bit pricey...consider lowering the cost to 3. Maybe.

I agree with SoP: put a cap on it. Perhaps +4 for the first, and +6 for the second.

Check out Lasting Alliances, The Road Ahead, and Ages of Middle-earth, three of my five dream card sets that make up Wars of the Ring. Oh, and I have a trade list now!

Also, if you're into DCs or RPGs (or even if you're not!), check out Realms of Middle-earth, the sequel to CG's "DC Adventure", Realms of the North!

I disagree. Imagine if Easterling Captain had had a limit. This is the sort of power card that makes a theme worth playing and shouldn’t be watered down. Remember that to play the mounts you need to discard cards, and remember that this guy only has vit 2 so you can’t use either ability without working for it. So you need to have used at least 3 cards to get them into play.

Also remember that in general, vitality = printed vitality - wounds. If they exert your guys, say with archery, Rohan horses or Terror, then this ability stops working.

I think this guy is awesome. It isn’t that easy to achieve, but when you do it should be very powerful against a strength based fellowship (might suffer against say Fourth level Knights).
