Tweaked the last couple cards a bit. And if ya’ll had paid attention, you would have seen that I already made the change you keep specifying for Sewel days ago! Razz

These may be our last villagers, but even after all the villagers we’ve already posted, these are rather unique. Thran should be happy, if his comments a few days back are any indication. Smile Enjoy!

You should know better by now than to judge me by what I say in reviews! Remember when I wanted a hunter bonus? Laughing

I think there’s a superfluous comma in there, but otherwise the card is fine.

I think I’d just say ’Mounted companion’ and be done with it (Shadowfax was from Rohan, after all).

Didn’t you complain just the other day about vitality bonuses on followers? Doesn’t seem great. For Rohan especially, I’d prefer something much more immediate to help me slay things, which is after all what Rohan is about!

Also, wouldn’t mind a Beauty Is Fading from you! Very Happy (just couldn’t resist)

Hmmm reltively low power not quite sure why the exert twice is required, maybe just once?

I THINK I’m done with villagers, but another idea or two may come to me. If they do, though, they’ll likely be at a later time. The trick is, I’m not sure QUITE what direction to spin off in now. I have a goodly amount of Helm’s Deep stuff, but until we get there...hmmm. Think I guess now’s as a good as any for this card. Consider it a filler of sorts. Smile

0Long Been Friends Rohan
Condition • Support Area
Each time you play a Rohan Man, you may spot a Man of another Free Peoples culture to remove 1.
Skirmish: Discard this condition to heal X Rohan companions, where X is the number of Gandalf and Green Men you can spot.
“‘...their kinship is rather with the Bardings, the Men of Dale, and with the Beornings of the woods, among whom still may be seen many Men, tall and fair, like the Riders of Rohan.’”

Rohan is a culture that doesn’t overlap the Gandalf Men or Green culture much. By the time Rohan becomes big in my sets, Gandalf Men and Green stuff are all but faded out. There is SOME overlap, since a small piece of Rohan occupies the sets where Gandalf Men and especially Green are biggest: Lasting Alliances and, to a lesser extent, The Road Ahead. But they still don’t really interact.

I don’t intend to make a bunch of cards that FORCE them to work well together, either, but this card helps. It’s inspired mostly by the lore, spoken by Aragorn when describing the Rohirrim to Legolas and Gimli. I found it interesting that Tolkien links the Rohirrim to the Bardings and Beornings, so I figured at least one card was in order.

Question is: is it useful enough to really consider using? My original version worked ONLY with Gandalf and Green, but I tweaked it to make it work with any other Men, mostly with Gondor in mind. Still, is it a decent card? Would YOU ever use it?

Fair enough, though there’s a lot to say for SoP’s suggestion.

It’s hard to make one want to make a whole deck about interaction between 2 cultures when only 1 card facilitates it. Even if you just had a few Beornings that liked Rohan, it would work better, or if this card had a very powerful ability. As it is, I might use it in a Gandalf Men deck with a Rohan splash, but to be honest probably not. Make it something that really glues a deck together, something that helps both parties in skirmishes perhaps, or provides Rohan with abilities that they would not otherwise be able to get, though I suppose choke fits into that category.

What are Gandalf and Green Men good at?

I’d second Thran’s thoughts on this card. Would a Rohan/Gandalf men or Rohan/Green men deck really be equally good as pure decks of those cultures? Needs a better "big" tie-in card, plus quite a few little-er cards to help it out.
