An added bonus of these tomb cards is the potential to circumvent the 9-companion limit. I don’t foresee this being too big of an issue, though.

I do however. This card rocks even without the resistance bonus. It would be a lot more balanced if the companion returned to the dead pile as a card that just rescues some1 from the dead is very powerful, ony falls of rauros currently does that without any additional bonuses. Nice idea in fact for the great entombing idea, its fantastic but i think it needs to go back to the dead after. Same for below as the ability is awesome even better than the dwarven one.

should be remove that dwarf from the Game IMHO. I think the rule of 9 needn’t be worried about here. unlike falls of rauros, it can be discarded before played by a number of cards, and might not even be drawn

lol well, as a matter of fact, I originally had them written as returning back to the dead pile, but changed it at the last minute to out of play upon discarding to keep the rule of 9 from getting wacky.

But since y’all agree, I’ll change them back to dead pile! Thanks for the reviews.

All right. Like I said yesterday... today is Gondor!

I *think* this card is worthy of R+ status. I dunno. Let me know what you think.

R+, condition, no. R+ and condition don’t go together. A condition, no matter how sweet, is to weak to get an R+ status. They’re just to easy to get rid of. But this is as good as it gets. Love the HttToG combo.

∙Sceptre of Annúminas

Bearer must be Aragorn, Elendil, or Isildur.

At the start of the regroup phase, if you can spot less than 3 burdens and no threats, you may make up to 3 companions gain muster.

Drop the "While bearer is not the RB" and make it just a solid res +1, with another cool ability.

Here’s another good resistance booster. And, if you can keep control of your burdens and threats (no small feat), you can get some sweet muster, which translates to massive cycling and possible easy double-moves.

∙Thorin Oakenshield, King of Durin’s Folk
Companion ∙ Dwarf

Vitality-3

To play, spot a Dwarf.
While you can spot 2 wounded companions, Thorin Oakenshield is damage +2.
