Before I begin, I want to tip my hat to ket_the_jet whose topic format I am blatantly copying. It's been many months since he last posted a topic like this though, so I consider his idea to now be in the public domain. javascript:void(0);
I don't know if anyone uses
Far Seeing Eyes, but it seems like a terribly weak card to me. It was originally printed non-unique (which would have been totally broken!) but then it was errated to make it unique (I have copies of it both ways). Now the card just sucks, so here I to pose to you some hopefully more useful versions of what this card could have been.
Just looking at the title makes me think it sounds like a telepathy card. However, since Elven telepathy didn't exist in FotR block I'm going to avoid that route. The original card messed with your opponent's cards (rather than your own), so that's what I've tried to do with some of these:
#1
•
Far Seeing Eyes 
Condition • Support Area
Each time you play an Elf, choose an opponent who must place a card from hand on top of his or her draw deck.
#2
Far Seeing Eyes Event
Fellowship: Exert an Elf to look at the top five cards of an opponent's drawdeck. You may then exert an Elf X times to discard a shadow card revealed, where X is twilight cost of that card. Return the rest in any order.
#3
Far Seeing Eyes Event
Fellowship or Regroup: Spot 3 elves to look at an opponent's adventure deck. Exert an Elf for each card that is not a sanctuary, forest, or river.
Note: I was originally going to make this "Exert an Elf for each battleground," which I think had better flavor, but then I remembered that there are no battlegrounds in FotR.#4
Far Seeing Eyes Condition • Support Area
Response: If a shadow event is played, discard an
card from hand to cancel that event. Discard this condition.
#5
Far Seeing Eyes Condition
Bearer must be an Elf.
Archery: If bearer is an archer and you cannot spot a wounded minion, exert bearer to exhaust a minion. No player may play events or use special abilities until the end of the phase.
Note: It seems to me that eyes that could see far would be helpful for an archer to have, hence this version that is completely different from the others. I've made it so that it can't be used with greenleaf, aragorns bow, etc. It works as an alternative to those cards, but does not in combination with them (which I think would be too powerful).
