Rewrite that as "Discard this minion and spot X Uruk-Hai to wound X companions." But it’s very overpowered...especially because you can have 4x Suicide Uruk out. So make it "exert" for more balance.

Okay, this needs a big downside, like "When you play this minion, the Free Peoples player may exert a companion twice to discard it." And the archery ability can be rewritten as just plain game text: Skip the archery phase...like the balrog, durin’s bane.

Hmm...not bad, although not very useful. Because the Uruks played from this condition can’t be assigned in the regular skirmish phase. So you have to make them fierce.
 Uruk Horde

Make a Uruk-hai strength +1 for
each  card that is stacked

Good tie-in with the previous card.

Nice. Maybe some exerting engine?

Too much damage, should cost a lot more, maybe even some exertions/spotting. Also, the ability needs a phase, and if you mean that he CAN’T bear a weapon UNLESS he exerts, it needs re-writing.

Spot X  Archers.
Ability doesn’t make sense. Also, archers shouldn’t have damage bonuses. If the ability means you have to spot X archers and remove X, then it’s miswritten, and ALSO needs a limit 1 or something like it. Otherwise, too overpowered.

Add when?!? It should read: "Shadow: Play this minion to add for each Wraith (supposing you mean every Wraith, regardless of Culture) you can spot." Burden adding costs too much, you could drop it to, say, and an exertion, and it could be prevented, for instance, by a mere exertion on a Ring-bound or unbound companion. Not very useful as it is.

Wow, this almost has as many keywords as Horror of Harad! It’s a fairly powerful minion, but there’s a spotting requirement, so that’s balanced.

Damage +2?? That’s waaay too powerful. What’s the phase for that action? And where is the possession played from? I assume you mean "from the discard pile".

Yeek, a monster minon! But fairly expensive. That’s a decently balanced ability...it would kill with Howdah. But it needs to be rewritten as follows: "Spot X archers and remove [X] to make the minion archery total +X."

Rewrite the first one to "When you play this minion..." As for the ability, it’s not very useful. Keening Wail would do a much better job.

Waaaay too powerful. Maybe drop Defender +2, add in some spotting requirement and make it add 3-5 burdens to use that ability, after all, just picture a player assigning 22 Orcs to just one minion! Pretty broken!

Elves are Archers by nature. Elven Bow for Rohan is just not right, maybe make him exert that companion to turn him into an archer.

Too strong. Drop the damage bonus, and we’re talking. Also, re-write it to: "This companion is always considered mounted". Oh, and shouldn’t he be Valiant, instead of Knight? Also needs a spotting requirement.

Hmm...rewrite that text to something like "Exhaust Guards of Gondor and add a burden to make it strength +3." That’s an insanely powerful companion there...waay too strong. It’s more like a minion, if you ask me, and very unplayable.

"Bearer gains archer" would be the way to say it. It’s good.
 Rohan Bow

Bearer is Archer.
Mmm, not in keeping with the theme. They never have pure "gains archer" cards...see Rohirrim Bow and Riddermark Javelin.
 •Rohan Knights

When you play this companion

So, is this companion permanently mounted? If so, just say instead "this companion is mounted." It’s...powerful. But why knights? It makes no thematic sense.

Yknow, you might be on to something there. Since has no ARB of its own... and there are a few gondor/rohan support cards... knights have wounding, and rohan is notorious for exerting... WOW! that would be a good combo, IMHO. |
