Definitely a boy!

works...though maybe a tad undercosted. 2 benefits for 2 cost. add something else you have to do.

You also have to have a White Council member in your discard pile, which is not normally where you want companions.

SoP have you never played elves in your life? You dont see the advantage of being able to put any card you want on top of your draw deck in the maneuever?

Wow.

I have only played archery and hunters. Though I suddenly realized why that would be incredibly useful. Almost too good now Wink

JK nice card.

Changed Erestor, and here are some more developments on these strategies, which will make them seem a lot more like Eagles and Wizards:

Council of the White Wizards Elven

Event * Maneuver or Skirmish
If played in the maneuver phase, discard a White Council member.
If played in the skirmish phase, add

and exert a White Council member to discard them.
’I it was who first summoned the White Council. And if my designs had not gone amiss, it would have been governed by Gandalf the Grey...’
H3 U 31

Great Deeds Elven

Event • Maneuver
Spot 3 White Council members to choose one: make each White Council member resistance +2 until the regroup phase; or take a spell into hand from your draw deck or discard pile.
Therefore on a time Mithrandir at great peril went again to Dol Guldur and the pits of the Sorceror, and he discovered the truth of his fears, and escaped.
H3 C 40

Masterful Preparations Elven

Event * Maneuver
Discard a White Council member to play a non-event Free Peoples card from your draw deck or discard pile. If that card is played on your Ring-bearer, add a burden.
... Mithrandir urged them to swift deeds, but Curunir spoke against him, and counselled them to wait yet and to watch.
H3 R 42

That last one is because I tried making a White Council deck list and it was so huge, I decided they needed some good filtering.

Hmm possibly balanced by 3 cost but its still good. Hello Sauron, oops wait, now where did i put myself? Maybe exert the member so they cant do it exhausted.

Great Deeds Elven

I know it would be convoluted, but considering how good Wisdom of Ages is, especially when combined with these, I might combine them into one card so you can only have 4 in your deck instead of 8. Perhaps like this:

Great Deeds Elven

Event • Maneuver or Skirmish
If played during the maneuver phase, discard a White Council member.
If played during the skirmish phase, add

and exert a White Council member twice to discard him or her.
Therefore on a time Mithrandir at great peril went again to Dol Guldur and the pits of the Sorceror, and he discovered the truth of his fears, and escaped.

Now with this, you’d have 12 cards that could discard them easily. Too much, so again, I’d definately recommend combining the two above. But this one is fine, and works well even on its own (especially with the White Council followers).

Best regards, Dáin, Vice Aftokrator of the Chosen Ones

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!

Dain is right. This is the card you should have, and have something else as well to replace the card you lose. I think that the White Council could have a straight strength pump. How about:

White Might Elven

Event • Skirmish
Make an Elf Strength +2 or make a White Council member Strength +3.

(You might want to change the name...)

Not the most exciting or original of cards but sometimes you need to do something straightforward.

Great thoughts, Dain, and have a

for them! Both cards are changed, though I opted for something a bit different from what Anvar suggested because I don’t think they should have a straight strength pump, partly because of this card (though it’s a bit off topic, and telepathy we’ll come to later):

Foresight

Event • Skirmish
Spell.
Spot an Elf to reveal the top card of your draw deck. Make a minion skirmishing a White Council character strength -X where X is the twilight cost of the card revealed.
Ever most vigilant was Mithrandir...
H3 C 35

And just for the sake of ease, here are the last 2 cards again with the changes:

Council of the White Wizards Elven

Event • Maneuver or Skirmish
If played in the maneuver phase, discard a White Council member.
If played in the skirmish phase, add

and exert a White Council member to discard them.
’I it was who first summoned the White Council. And if my designs had not gone amiss, it would have been governed by Gandalf the Grey...’
H3 U 31

Great Deeds Elven

Event • Maneuver
Spot 3 White Council members to choose one: make each White Council member resistance +1 until the regroup phase; or take a spell into hand from your discard pile.
Therefore on a time Mithrandir at great peril went again to Dol Guldur and the pits of the Sorceror, and he discovered the truth of his fears, and escaped.
H3 C 40

And I think a miscellaneous card because we haven’t seen enough from our Wizards yet:

• Masters of Magic Gandalf

Condition • Support Area
To play, spot 3 members of the White Council.
Each time a spell is played and you cannot spot 3 cards stacked here, you may stack it here.
Skirmish: Discard a card stacked here to make a companion strength +1 or resistance +1.
