You guys are hardly any help at all! 
Hey SoP agreed with me if you look!
 • Huremor, King of Haradrim 
Minion • Man
Str: 12
Vit: 4
Sit: 4
Fierce. Stalwart - make each Man minion strength +2 until the regroup phase.
Huremor’s twilight cost is -1 for each Shadow culture you can spot.
Apart from durin III his stalwart is unlikely. Id say each other culture and drop to 6.
• Fuinir, Great and Cruel
Minion • Man
Str: 10
Vit: 4
Sit: 4
Fierce. Stalwart - make each Man fierce until the regroup phase.
Fuinir’s twilight cost is -1 for each Man you can spot.
Fellowship: Exert Fuinir or Huremor twice to play a Man minion from your draw deck.
Wow nasty stalwart. I dont understand, a minion is never out in a fellowship phase.

Looks fine. His strong stalwart ability is balanced by the fact that it’s pretty unlikely it’ll trigger much.

I assume that fellowship ability is supposed to be a Shadow ability? Here, the stalwart worries me a little. I’d raise his strength to 11 to ensure it doesn’t trigger QUITE as often. |

Dain’s right, it’s supposed to say Shadow. Thanks for paying attention!
I was planning on some strength reducers for to make stalwart more interesting. Haven’t as yet thought much about support, though.

We’ll soon be moving onto some Nazgul, but until then, let’s have a Sauron (we haven’t had enough so far! ) to support and corrupt Men. And again we see him in his insidious form.
(King of Men is one of his self-styled titles)
 • Sauron, King of Men
Minion • Maia
Str: 7
Vit: 4
Sit: 4
Enduring 1.
Each unbound Man is resistance -2 (or -3 if he or she bears an artifact).
Skirmish: Exert Sauron to make a Man or Nazgul strength +2 or -2.
And a little cycle as well, making culture into a bit of a toolbox:
 Arrayed for Battle
Event • Skirmish
Spot a minion to make a minion strength +2 (and gain bloodlust 1 if that minion is a Man).
Creatures of Morgoth
Event • Skirmish
Spot a minion to make a minion strength +2 (or +4 if that minion is an Orc).
Deepening Shadow
Event • Skirmish
Spot a minion to make a minion strength +2 (and gain terror 1 until the regroup phase if that minion is a Nazgul).

Cost 5 should make him a bit more balanced.

Erm ok.

Cool.
Deepening Shadow

Spot a minion to make a minion strength +2 (and gain terror 1 until the regroup phase if that minion is a Nazgul).
Yikes. Ok.

I agree with lem0n. Loving the mutli-cultural Shadow stuff. Keep it up!  |

Talking of multiculture, I fancy another Sauron! 
  • Sauron, Lord of the Earth
Minion • Maia
Str: 12
Vit: 5
Sit: 2
Enduring 1.
Sauron’s twilight cost is -2 for each Shadow culture you can spot.
Each time a minion wins a skirmish, you may exert Sauron to make a minion of a different culture strength +2 until the regroup phase.
Also, remember that ridiculous Sauron with all those keywords? Well here’s a fun card to fit that theme!
Black Anger
Event • Skirmish
Make a minion strength +2 for each keyword in its game text.
I said I was going to be moving onto Nazgul. Well, in that mode, let’s check out a card that effectively makes companions into servants of Sauron 
Terrible Servants 
Event • Maneuver
Spot 3 minions (or Sauron) to heal each character bearing a ring. Then make each companion bearing a ring (except the Ring-bearer) resistance -2 until the regroup phase.
I was going to call this card ’Unending Life’ which fits much better with the game text, but then I suddenly remembered the card from Black Rider with the same title. Any thoughts on a reasonable replacement?
(Also, I was going to put an exception to the Ring-bearer, but note that all the rings in the other thread forbid the wearer to hold another)
As for what came before, I suspect I will end up putting it on another card...

cool! cut cost by 1
Black Anger
Event • Skirmish
Make a minion strength +2 for each keyword in its game text.
make it +1 IMSO, or toss a +6 limit on
 Terrible Servants
Event • Maneuver
Spot 3 minions (or Sauron) to heal each character bearing a ring. Then, choose a companion bearing a ring (except the Ring-bearer). Until the regroup phase, that companion loses ’companion’ and becomes a minion participating in archery, assignment and skirmish phases like other minions.
wow...this changes everything. I have no idea what to say. |

I’d actually RAISE his cost a tad, since he’s usually only going to be  as is, and will likely be even cheaper.

Nifty. I’d use it. Too bad you can’t use it with Horror of Harad! I agree with SoP, though...cap it at +6 and/or raise the cost to .

Sorry, man, but no. Just...no. There are ways to turn companions into temporary minions that MIGHT work, but just arbitrarily saying "yeah, this companion is a minion now...tough luck!" isn’t the way to do it. If you weren’t able to put rings on companions yourself, then this MIGHT be okay. But since you have rings you can easily (and cost-free, if I remember correctly) slap on the companion of your choice, this is just WAY too evil. It would be X-ed before it ever saw the light of day, even by the typing monkeys Decipher had running things into the ground at the end.
Prevent the companion from skirmishing, or MAYBE allow the changeover if the companion has 0 resistance or something, but this card has to see a MAJOR change before I, for one, will ever give it a passing grade.
And it will simply KILL poor lem0n when he sees it. Juicy bits everywhere...do you really want that? Think of his wife, man! Do it for her, at least! |
