I thought this would be an interesting twist...but it’s not very reliable. So the Shadow still has a decent chance of winning.
Title: •Strength of Men
Culture:
Type: Condition-Support Area
Twilight: 2
Resistance: -2
Text: Bearer is a ringbearer. Response: If the ringbearer is about to die in a skirmish, spot a Man to transfer this condition and the One Ring to him.
"There is still strength in men."
Title: •Lure of the Ring
Culture:
Type: Condition-Support Area
Twilight: 2
Text: Response: If a companion gains ringbearer and bears the ring, exert a Nazgul and discard this condition to reveal a card from the Free Peoples player’s hand. Add X burdens, where X is the twilight cost of the card revealed. |

Sam is enough of an issue with burden decks; this would ruin them.
Think for a moment how burden decks work. They usually have enough difficulty corrupting the 12-resistance RBs running around these days. With these cards, they’d have to make you ditch your primary RB, and then corrupt the second one on top of it.
It’s a neat idea I’ve tried tinkering with in the past, but it’s too game dominating and can be a horrible NPE. |

It’s not as easy as it looks. The best resistance that any RB has is 7. The condition makes it 5, and then you have •Lure of the Ring to add some burdens-particularly if you happen to have the Balrog, Flame of Udun or a similar card in hand. It’s supposed to be a desparation for the FP.
I can also envision some Fellowships playing this, then letting Frodo get overwhelmed so they can transfer the Ring to a guy like Aragorn. |

it is cool but way to powerful! for the minions |
There is a power in this world beyond any of us, and Jesus is that power and The Savior.
this is my attempt to look cool.

It’s supposed to be uber-powerful for the minions. That way it stays as a last resort. I’ll post more cards for other evil cultures. |
