Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you. |

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!
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. Enjoy!

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

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 especially, I’d prefer something much more immediate to help me slay things, which is after all what is about!
Also, wouldn’t mind a Beauty Is Fading from you! (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. I guess now’s as a good as any for this card. Consider it a filler of sorts.
•Long Been Friends
Condition • Support Area
Each time you play a Man, you may spot a Man of another Free Peoples culture to remove .
Skirmish: Discard this condition to heal X companions, where X is the number of and 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.’”
is a culture that doesn’t overlap the Men or culture much. By the time becomes big in my sets, Men and stuff are all but faded out. There is SOME overlap, since a small piece of occupies the sets where Men and especially 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 and , but I tweaked it to make it work with any other Men, mostly with in mind. Still, is it a decent card? Would YOU ever use it? |

I would simply make it spot a man of another culture to remove 1, or 2 if gandalf or [G} |

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 , it would work better, or if this card had a very powerful ability. As it is, I might use it in a Men deck with a 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 with abilities that they would not otherwise be able to get, though I suppose choke fits into that category.
What are and Men good at?

I’d second Thran’s thoughts on this card. Would a / men or / 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. |
