Rohan men from hunters block mention resistance, like their possession discarding cards doesnt mean rohan get burden removal cos they TOO dont remove burdens, cos they TOO are fighters. Just because youre going for resistance doesnt mean that should have an effect on a cultures abilities to remove burdens.

Shall we say agree to disagree?

LOL its really not worth our debate they’re your DC’s i apologise for getting too involved in the argument.

Mods please split this off if Thran wishes his thread de spammified. Call it culture strengths in the meta or something...

ARGH! Even ignoring your blatant mistreatment of the dwarf culture this is one of the best burden removing cards of any culture! Its not unique so 6 burdens could become 2 burdens in one turn. Either a. up the spotting of burdens to about 4 or b. Exert twice. Best review i can do sorry Thran i just wanna scream please stop it now!

Gah! Non-unique again, these are all like giving everyone foe hammers. Surely disreagrding the fact its dwarves you can see this is getting too hard? Youre practically never going to have more than 2 burdens at this rate.

Erm weeeeeeird phrasing. Any time you could play an event, thats like always? I think thats a bit strong. Meh maybe not, interesting card. Glad it doesnt mention burdens!

I agree that Dwarves should have some means of dealing with burdens/resistance but this seems too good. I go for exert him twice to remove a burden.

I don’t like this one. Seems too easy and can be combined with the axe above. I vote that having just the axe above should be sufficient, though having a card that increases the resistance of all unbound Dwarves might be okay to replace this one. Note that even Gondor can discard conditions (Catapult, Athelas) they just aren’t good at it. I don’t see anything wrong with one card for Dwarves that can remove burdens.

And another artifact to add to the plethora for this theme:

• Black Arrow

I think you need to specify when it can be played, eg. any time you could play an Archery or Maneuver event, just in case someone thinks they can play it in the Shadow phase or something. It seems very powerful but fun and characterful. I like how the cost to return it to hand ties in with the cards in hand theme.
