That is horrendously painful. Cant decide whether it should be remove or not.

I would make it discard a card at random

?

I tweaked the Marauder so that it now must add AND exert for its ability. That should make it better, yes?

I’ll think on Thran’s suggestion about sticking more to WLC’s card. I probably won’t change either of the two news ones I posted, but I may make one or two more that work more like WLC’s.

For now, though, it’s time to get to some non-Orc minions. In fact, not all of our minions over the next few postings will even be ! Curious about what the heck I have in store? Read on...and enjoy!

Discard at random would pwn. Otherwise, not that useful.[/b]

That’s right...Men!

I intend to put Ferny and his Bree-terrorizing and Shire-invading henchmen in the culture once we get back to them in my RotK set, but for now, I figured (and some ) were more appropriate. After all, remember that the original Ferny was , and there are several old-OLD-school cards centered around the more suspicious Men of Bree.

The majority of the Men I’ll be posting over the next few updates will be , but as you can see, there will be some mixed in where appropriate.

Anyway, as for Ferny himself, I wanted each of these to have a "spying" ability, since that was Ferny’s primary function as an antagonist. What better way to spy in LOTR TCG than revealing cards from the opponent’s hand?

Whoops! Uh...I blame it on...um...hey look, a giraffe!

Mischievous sounds sort of cheeky like Pippin or something, not really a good word. Id say burdens AND dwelling.

“In one of the windows he caught a glimpse of a sallow face with sly, slanting eyes; but it vanished at once.”

Ok he doesnt form THAT good a combo. Play a condition add 1 exhaust a minion then use that 1 to discard a card from their hand? Not great still think that bill is lame-o. I think this card on its own is probably too OP. For a start its broken. A a minion that is already exhausted can be exhausted again by exerting 0 times. This is directly from the rules "To exhaust a character means to exert that character as many times as you can.". So you would only need 1 minion out to keep "exhausting it". But ignoring that its way too easier way to add burdens me thinks.
