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!

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.

Hmmm to be difficult i lie somewhere between SoP and Dain, i think 10 was costed well. He is a bit dull though.

Black Anger
Event • Skirmish
Make a minion strength +2 for each keyword in its game text.

I think this should cost 2. Strength pumps have never been sauron orcs strength and this could easily make fierce besiegers etc... +4 as though there are any other culture. And as you say its sick with Sauron.

Terrible Servants
Event • Maneuver
Spot 3 minions (or Sauron) to heal each character bearing a ring. Then make each companion bearing a ring resistance -2 until the regroup phase.

Im not sure i like the potential for corrupting the RB its a temporary 2 burdens for him/her and thats wrong. I like the card but it has to exclude the rb as much as you dont want to Thran. If it includes RB needs to be -1.

Bit boring to give the Witch King a burrito. He’s fine but i get tired or seeing these layered guys theyre too easy to make and uninteresting.

Though in block this card cannot include the Ring-bearer because even the One Ring forbids them to wear another ring.

I, unlike the juicy fruit, don’t mind the occasional burrito. This one seems fine, especially in light of the fact that your sets seem to have more artifacts than any other type of card.

I didnt say i didn’t mind the occasional one but im seeing a lot nowadays and on such a critical character i think its dull. Come on burritos arent exactly the hardest card type around to do. Spot 1 (or 2), spot 3 (or4) and spot 5 (or 6) to do x y and z. Any card could do that it lacks imagination. Now a good skirmish mechanism or something, THAT is an example of what would make a good Wikkie.

What? "Neato" and "nasty" were already taken. I had to say SOMETHING!

Snigger.
