Some small changes made. Still thinking about whether the banner should have a win skirmish trigger... I’m thinking not as it already seems fairly useful as is.

The overuse of ghostly was intentional, as it features on all the Gondor wraith nouns that have Return. By linking them all with the same adjective I thought it would be easier to grasp them all together (eg ’I’ve got a Ghostly Wraith deck’, ’I’ve got a Sunland deck’ etc.).

enduring 3...interesting...if you have any vitality bonuses for gondor wraiths in this set, cut it to 2, otherwise 3 is fine

fine

At the start of each skirmish involving bearer, you may exert each character in that skirmish.

snazzy!

I think it should be strength +1 for each gondor card discarded or something, and maybe give a +1 strength or resistance boost

Hmmm dangerously good, not sure if OP. Start isildur RB then 4 of these. Doesnt matter how much vitality they have, an 8 strength exhausted wraith is still awesome whetehr it had 4 health to start with or not. Id like to see it toned down somehow without making him crud.

Wow thats nice Smile Maybe a bit good with the "may" giving you HUGE flexibility.

Not very useful i have to say. Maybe just 1 card is fine and limit 2?

I’m not convinced that Isildur and 4 of these guys would be that good. An archery/wounding deck would take you to pieces if you didn’t get set up in time. I could make it ’to play spot 2 Gondor companions’, though. Any thoughts?

Should I change this to make it compulsory? Any other thoughts?

The reason why I might leave this as it is, is that scour sets up your cards to be returned to play. That’s what makes return so useful. It also ties the wraiths together with some sort of Desperation strategy that I’m working on (ie having no cards in your deck). Discarding a single card also seems a bit easy, and a limit of +2 seems a bit small. My temptation is to leave it as it is, though I could be persuaded to make it give a permanent +1 strength, and make the limit +2.

Thanks for the comments,
Anvar

I didn’t say it wasn’t useful - just that all previous banners triggered on winning.

Rohan mounts were compulsory. I reckon it’s better that way.

Strength doesnt need a capital. Balanced and sound.

Fair enough. It doesn’t bother me but I can see why you might think it a little odd.
