While skirmishing a Man, this minion is strength +2.
This minion is strength +1 for each condition borne by a companion he is skirmishing.
The wealth promised them led even some of the Riders of Rohan to betray their brothers-in-arms.
fine

I think he’s fine at (maybe with a spotting requirement if you’re worried), but whatever.
Yeah, I like that better, actually. He’s back at with a simple spotting requirement. |

Since we’ve recently covered this guy in different cultures ( and  ) and in a different set (this set’s predecessor, The Road Ahead), I figured we’d take a short break before getting back to more "normal" Men and do a familiar Southerner.  Enjoy!
 •Squint-eyed Southerner, Agent of the White Hand
Minion • Man
Strength: 9
Vitality: 2
Site: 2
When you play Squint-eyed Southerner, the Free Peoples player must discard a card from hand (or 2 cards if you can spot Saruman).
Each time you play or transfer an condition onto a companion, you may exert an Man to make that companion strength -1 until the regroup phase.
“‘It seems plain now that that Southerner was a spy of Saruman’s....’”
Why is he here? I’ll let YOU read about it, if you’re curious. Long and short of it: he’s prominently mentioned in The Two Towers as being a servant of Saruman, and was probably chiefly responsible for bringing the wizard’s secret stash of pipeweed.
Anyway, in terms of gameplay, he has some text that’s rather unusual for Men (discardng from hand) and some text that REALLY fits in well (weakening companions when you throw conditions on them). How’s he look to YOU, faithful reviewer? |

Good, but I’d make it "discard at random."  |

hmmm i like it l this sop idea for - 2 rather than -1 (i dunno if i wanna trade an exertion for minusing a comps strenth by 1) would be a good idea. Other wise great idea and Good solid cards GP for bringing back .
i have never seen a deck built around it. there just isn’t enough cards out there... |

Ugh...just been one of THOSE days.  These’ll probably be the only new cards today in any of my threads, as my brain is simply fried. And they’re not incredibly interesting, but hey, every culture needs some simple stuff, right? Enjoy!
 Men Will Fall (reprint)
Event • Skirmish
Spot Saruman or an Man to make an unbound companion strength -2 (or -3 if that companion bears an condition).
“‘The Ring of Barahir. So Gandalf Greyhame thinks he has found Isildur’s heir. The lost king of Gondor. He is a fool. The line was broken years ago.’”
Yep...straight reprint. Well, almost. The condition thing is new, and in my opinion, probably should have been there all along.
Grim and Horrible
Condition • Support Area
Make an or Man strength +2 (or +3 if you can spot Saruman).
“‘All Saruman’s people were marching away....And there were battalions of Men, too.’”
Just another simple pump. This won’t be the last time we see some direct / partnership, though.
•Servants of the White Hand
Condition • Support Area
Each time a companion is killed, you may take any number of cards borne by that companion into hand and heal Saruman and each Man.
“‘What was the promised price, Gríma? When all the men are dead, you will take your share of the treasure?’”
It really stinks when you take the time to throw a couple valuable conditions on a companion and then they die, taking your cards with them. Well no longer! |

Good reprint. I forwent my customary cries of ’BROKEN!’ because you had actually changed it and might have thought I was serious!

Looks good, but pretty rubbish for a pump which tend to be horribly nasty.

Love this one! Possibly just too useful however. Maybe a choice between the two would be better, otherwise there’s no Men deck where I wouldn’t want this card.
