For the next contest, create a shadow card based on the mirkwood spiders.

Voting begins. not the greatest turnout:

#1
•Lord of the Eagles, Proud and Ancient
Follower
Strength: +2
Aid - .
Each time you transfer this to a companion, except a wizard, exert bearer twice. Exert bearer and add two threats to cancel a skirmish involving bearer.
"Just at that moment the Lord of the Eagles swept down from above, seized him in his talons, and was gone."


#2
Blinding Flame 
Event * Skirmish
Spell. Toil 1.
Spot Gandalf to reveal your hand and discard each Shadow card revealed. Until the regroup phase, minions lose their game text and are strength -1 for each Shadow card you discarded in this way. Remove this event from the game.
"High in the air he tossed the blazing brand. It flared with a sudden white radiance like lightning; and his voice rolled like thunder."

#3
Tall Tree
Condition • Support Area
Skirmish: Exert a companion (except the Ringbearer) to stack that companion here.
Regroup: Spot an eagle or exert Gandalf to play a companion stacked here as if from hand. That companion comes into play exhausted.
At the end of the regroup phase, place each companion stacked here in the dead pile and discard this condition.
"'Up the trees quick!' cried Gandalf."

#4
3 Fifteen birds in five trees.
Event - assignment.
To play, spot Gandalf.
Playable only in region 1 or 2. Skip the skirmish phase. Unless you discard Gwaihir or Melendor, place Gandalf in the dead pile.
"The sudden splendour flashed from his wand like lightning, as he got ready to spring down from on high right amongs the spears of the goblins."

C'mon people, please vote!

Having myself submitted on of the above DC's, and since my voting would require me to either vote for myself (unethical?) or vote for all three of my competitors, I choose to abstain. We need some unbiased voices here.

macheteman - I have a question about the next contest: what culture should Mirkwood spiders be?

I think the only sensible thing to do is to invent a new Mirkwood or Spider culture. Perhaps you, as the mc, can provide some ground-rules here so as to prevent chaos. I'm guessing that part of the reason nobody actually made a wolf card in the last contest was because people weren't sure if a wolf should be a minion or a mount. I think a minion would probably be more appropriate to the story, but I would hesitate to put one in a contest because it would appear to deviate so much from prior lotr tcg cards such as wargs.

[macheteman]

excellent points.

first, as this is a brawl, voting for yourself is completely legal, ethical and excepted.

second, while i'm not convinced the next round will have enough support to even get off the ground, a mirkwood culture is the way i would choose to go with it. it is (as always) the DC maker's job to decide how to best create the card. there are no rules in a brawl.

as such, making a new culture sounds great.

[MR. Lurtzy]

I will give a vote to #1. It's the only one I like.

[Stormcrow]

Yeah, I only like #1

[Not a Zombie]

#2
#3
#1

[azogsbane]

Very well then, here's my vote

#3
#4
#1

[Doom]

I will follow Lurtzy and Stormcrow and give a single vote to 1.

[macheteman]

at this point with my classes starting up and only 2 entries for the next round, i'm going to declare doom the winner of last round, and officially end this competition. thank you, and goodnight.
