As a reminder, this is part of the third of 3 sets:
H1 - The Hobbit (300 cards, 110C 100U 90R)
H2 - The Battle of the Five Armies (200 cards, 70C 70U 60R)
H3 - The White Council (200 cards, 70C 70U 60R)

And it’s more or less complete, I just need the approval of the talented DCers of the cobracards forum!

Here is a (very brief) summary of the block mechanics featured in the first set:

Terror X (Each time this character is assigned to skirmish an opponent’s character, they may make that opponent exert X of their characters.)

Winged (This character can only take 1 wound per phase, regardless of its source.)

Locked - (A card that is Locked has blank game text, unless it is Unlocked. An ability or keyword that is Locked is nonexistent unless it is Unlocked.)

Unlocked - (A card can only be Unlocked if a card allows it to be. A card with no Locked text cannot be Unlocked.)

A seriously detailed description of the last two can be found at this link: http://lotrtcgdb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=4434 (below the Dwarven cards)

There are also a couple more that feature in this set that weren’t in the last, but I’ll get onto them later.

Here’s the culture break down, and clicking on finished cultures will take you to their card lists.


Dwarven - 25
Elven - 26
Gandalf - 33
Gollum - 1
Isengard - 4
Orc - 21
Sauron - 16
Shire - 12
Wraith - 50
White - 12

Maybe add a limit to the maneuver ability on the last Bilbo.

Beyond that, looks good!

First ability is sound second is very very interesting. There could be many cards that wouldnt bu useful in a given turn and this could exploit them and make him very versatile. However as el pointed out it could be TOO manipulable. Add the suggested limit. Maybe 3?

It was hard to word the limit properly and elegantly (because I was trying to avoid being able to Lock every Shire card even if the drawing limit was 3) but I’ve done it - thanks guys. If anyone comes up with a better wording, I’ll be glad to hear it.

How about "If you cannot spot X (make up a number u feel would be reasonable Thran) Locked Shire cards, Unlock a shire card...."

Or something like that?

I like that, thanks. I’ll come back to this one when I’ve worked out how many Locked Shire cards one can expect.

misspelled maneuver. interesting... maybe add a vitality bonus too.

And now the new version:

Ring-bound.
At the start of the maneuver phase, you may exert Bilbo to Unlock a Shire card until the regroup phase.

I guess... usefulness seems somewhat limited though.

I think the "them"s should be "him or her"s, especially since you use "he or she" later. I know it’s wordy, but it’s also right. Thumbs Up

Still being tweaked, I see, but I’ll throw another "here, here" onto the juicy fruit’s suggestion.
