To kick off the 4-day weekend (for most of us),

Not me :’(

• Galadriel, Queen of Lórien
Companion • Elf
Strength: 3
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Muster.
Skirmish: Exert Galadriel to play an artifact from your draw deck on an Elf skirmishing a minion.
”They were clad wholly in white; and the hair of the Lady was of deep gold….”


I dunno if this matters but id phrase it Spot an elf skirmishing a minion and exert galadriel to play an elven artifact from your draw deck on that elf. Meh. Anyway shes ok but will take a lot keep her alive.

Well-protected Borders
Event • Maneuver
Spot an Elf to make a roaming minion strength –X until the regroup phase, where X is the number of burdens you can spot.
”’…there will be many Elves hidden on the northern border before another night falls.’”

Hmmm i dont think taking advantage of burdens is a free peoples thing. It defeats the point in them being bad. Cool card and nicely balanced. The more burdens the greater the risk but then this card gets better. Would just feel better if it spotted something else, cos i cant think of any other freeps cards that D made that like burdens.

Hidden Sentinels
Event • Archery
Exert 2 Elves to make the fellowship archery total +2 (or +3 if you can spot a roaming minion).
”’…we went ahead and spoke with feigned voices, leading them on into the wood.’”

Yeah seems balanced and ok.

I wouldn’t use this card. How many cards add burdens? Not only that, it requires a good number of them on top of and the minion being roaming. Maybe it should make a roaming minion strength -2 until the regroup phase, then with some brackets ’or -1 for each burden you can spot’ so that it works in each case.

• Legolas, Friend of Gimli
Companion • Elf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Archer. Legolas gains hunter 1 for each wound on Gimli.
Skirmish: Exert Legolas to make a minion skirmishing Gimli strength -2 (or -3 if that minion is an Orc).
”Often he took Gimli with him when he went abroad in the land, and the others wondered at this change.’”

• Legolas, Elf of Mirkwood
Companion • Elf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Archer. Hunter 2.
Each time Legolas wins a skirmish, you may draw a card or take an event from your discard pile into hand.
”Legolas had loosed his bow. There was a hideous yell, and the leaping shape thudded to the ground….”

• White Knife of Legolas
Possession • Hand Weapon
Bearer must be Legolas. He gains hunter 1. This possession may be borne in addition to 1 other hand weapon.
Skirmish: Discard this possession to exert a minion Legolas is skirmishing (or wound that minion if it is an Orc or an Uruk-hai).
”Legolas had a bow and a quiver, and at his belt a long white knife.”

I would limit it to skirmish events (or maybe archery events), and as much as I love the idea of an archer AND hunter 2 Legolas, this one is just too good. So lower it to hunter 1.

I keep seeing all these cards with "hunter". Seriously, do you guys actually think it’s a good mechanic? Or just use it because "it’s new"? ’cause I HATE the GUTS of it... I expected more from D, they messed up a lot with keywords and mechanichs.
