Light & Shadow - Complete Card List

[Thranduil]

Well, it seems like those are all the reviews I'm going to get, and so it appears that this is the last post for this set! I will post all the cards for any final reviews that anyone would like to add, and any themes or holes in the set itself.

But, I look in my card document and discover that there are 2 Nazgûl remaining. I was struggling with Cantëa, and I'm not sure if this is a good build for him or not. He certainly likes doing stuff with possessions, and I wanted him to do something either for wearing the Ring or taking advantage of it being worn, and so this seemed fairly natural. But is it good?

•Úlairë Cantëa, Drawn to Its Power
Minion • Nazgûl
Str: 10
Vit: 3
Sit: 3
Fierce.
When you play Úlairë Cantëa, you may foresee 2 (look at the top 2 cards of your draw deck; place any number of those cards on top of or beneath your draw deck).
While the Ring-bearer is wearing The One Ring, companions do not gain strength bonuses or keywords from possessions.
"‘Open in the name of Mordor."'
L U 193

Remember I said I had a flashy rare? Well, this guy's a rare, and he's a little bit flashy I suppose. Again, though, I have no idea whether this is any good...

•Úlairë Attëa, Drawn to Its Power
Minion • Nazgûl
Str: 12
Vit: 3
Sit: 3
Fierce.
When you play Úlairë Attëa, you may foresee 2.
Companions with resistance 2 or less cannot be assigned to Úlairë Attëa.
"Frodo was stricken dumb. He felt his tongue cleave to his mouth, and his heart labouring."
L R 192

I said at some point earlier that if this were to become a block, the second set would definitely be called The Twilight World and it would bring in a lot of twilight stuff, and lot of Ring-related things as well as triggering off resistance 0 in a big way. It would be a Shadow heavy set with a healthy number of splahy and cards, and it would deal with characters very much in terms of their cultures (which is something I've been doing throughout this set, and it is for a reason, you might be interested to know!). This would all pave way to a (so far unnamed) third Free Peoples heavy set which would feature a big theme of "culture-shifted" cards, á la Defender of Rohan and more resistance stuff. But that's another story.

I haven't thought that much about these future sets, only enough to make a handful of cards, but I thought I might give you a taster of what may or may not be to come:

•The Great Eye
Condition • Support Area
Twilight.
Each time the Ring-bearer puts on The One Ring and you cannot spot Sauron, this condition becomes a fierce, damage +1 Maia minion entitled "Sauron" until the start of the regroup phase that has strength 12 and vitality 5 and cannot take wounds or bear cards. This card is still a condition.
"‘I see you!'"
T R

(or in this case:

"'Watch this space!'")

And of course, thank you all for having the patience to read through my cards and give me the criticism I deserved!

"Frodo was stricken dump. He felt his tongue cleave to his mouth, and his heart labouring."
L R 192

I don't know... Kinda "meh" for "a flashy rare".

[Anvar]

Cantea is good and a neat build of the card.

Attea is awesome! In most decks that means you only need 4 burdens before Attea has to go on the Ringbearer! Very powerful indeed and I can see this being the backbone of a new deck.

"Frodo was stricken dump. He felt his tongue cleave to his mouth, and his heart labouring."
L R 192

"...stricken dumb" in the lore. I don't recall Frodo being struck by some...digestion problem. Like Anvar said, he has serious potential.

•The Great Eye
Condition • Support Area
Twilight.
Each time the Ring-bearer puts on The One Ring, this condition becomes a fierce, damage +1 Maia minion entitled "Sauron" until the start of the regroup phase that has strength 12 vitality 5 and cannot take wounds or bear cards. This card is still a condition.
"‘I see you!'"

I don't see any reason to change the title, especially since that becomes a potential conflict if the actual Sauron is on the table. Also need slight rewording: "...that has 12 strength and 5 vitality...". Always was a fan of the Deceived Wizard conditions (even if I never could get them to work right for me), so this is okay in my book.

[sickofpalantirs]

shouldn't it have vitality one like the wizards?

[Thranduil]

shouldn't it have vitality one like the wizards?

But it's not a Wizard - that's the point! He has vitality 5 because that's the vitality of Sauron, and he has strength 12 because 24 would be too much for a cost condition, so I gave him half Sauron's strength. And also I want him to conflict with Sauron, because the eye is Sauron. I will make a slight change in that respect so that it's clearer, though.

And we all know that Frodo was struck dump! I mean, come on, DI, did you not read the book?

Thanks all!

EDIT: Below is now the complete card list for the set. Like I said, if you happen to have a spare few minutes and take a look at this stuff and anything jumps out at you, then let me know.

(Had to put this here because there wasn't room in the next post!)

GLOSSARY OF SET KEYWORDS
