I'd add "Ignore the twilight spotting trigger in Questions that Need Answering" so it can add [3] per time, even if there's a huge pile of those dark marbles already.

And perhaps "for each copy of Questions that Need Answering in your discard pile, Larry is strength +2."

Yes we do! Here's my homage, sort of:

[2] Larrying [Gandalf]
Event • Fellowship
Spot Larry and reveal a card of a given culture from your hand to mention 2 words. Discard cards from the top of your draw deck until you discard a card of that culture whose game text (or card title) mentions both words. Take the last card discarded this way into your hand.
"'Besides certain fortifications is there another card similar to While we yet live that reduces a minion's strength in a Skirmish Event,  I keep thinking there is but I might be just imagining it'"

(It's like Curling, but with a different Stooge.)


So you want [Rohan] condition discard, or [Dwarven] token resourcefulness, or say the Pale Blade as soon as possible? Just play Larry, use this event and ipso facto, you got it! If you don't care about the risk of milling yourself into extintion, or can afford to do it (I'm looking at you, Sgtdraino!), this is your solution.

Be careful to aim towards something that actually exists, or else you'll burn your deck slowly as a candle before the amazed (if not angry) face of your opponent. Which, from a different perspective, can be awesome if you're in a trolling mood: say "diplodocus" and "covfefe," and enjoy your trip towards a resourceless game!


So know how your cards work, know well your strategy, and mill!

I think a more subtle approach to trolling would work better.  Your opponent would pick up that you're just milling yourself with "diplodocus" and stop paying attention while you mill yourself.  Pick a card that would actually be a concern, but that you don't have in your deck.

You're totally right, more tension and waiting equals to more trolling, yeah! :up:

[3] The Art of Larry [Gandalf]
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot Larry.
Each time you are about to draw, reveal or discard a fixed number of cards from your draw deck, you may exert a companion to reveal those cards plus two additional ones. Return them to the top of your draw deck in any order.
"'To be sure, cards like Guidance of the Istari when needing to spot Gandalf men can the ally men be considered for spotting even if you are not at their home site.'"

So you play Delving for 1 exertion to draw 3, but you may exert again to reveal 5 and draw the 3 you want most. Questions that Need Aswering can be boosted too, as well as losing to Uruk Rager to try and protect key cards still on your deck. Even reconciling (which means drawing a fixed number)...

The card is non-unique, so per each copy you may increase the cards to reveal by 2. But be careful to not destroy your own fellowship in the process (as well as your opponent's patience).
