Okay, I know no one’s really reviewing these, except SoP, (cmon, pw, ac, anyone!), and he’s gonna be sooooooo bogged down with these forever (two starter decks, at least!) but anyways, I’m just in a super-DC making mood, and I’m gonna post whenever I want to! Here’s some super-awesome DC’s, the sort you definately WOULDN’T find in starter decks!

[carvahall]

.Brom, Master Magician [carvahall]
Companion-Wizard
Strength 8
Vitality 4
Resistance 8
Each Carvahall companion with a twilight cost of or less is strength +1. Each time you play a spell, you may exert Brom to wound a minion he is skirmishing.
Cool DC, I love the spell gametext. Although it could get a little out of hand...
.Roran, Stronghammer [carvahall]
Companion-Man
Strength 7
Vitality 3
Resistance 7
Damage+1.
Each other Carvahall companion in your starting fellowship is twilight cost -1. Each time Roran wins a skirmish, you may make another [carvahall] companion strength +2 untill the regroup phase.
Whoa, powerful card! Maybe lower his strength by 1?
.Roran’s Hammer, Magician’s Bane [carvahall]
Possession-Hand Weapon
Strength +3
Bearer must be Roran. He is damage +1. Response: If a spell is played, you may discard two cards from hand to cancel the effect of that spell.
I like that card-the ability has good balance.
BTW, I think your cards should read "each other [Carvahall] companion"...unless Carvahall is a race.
[varden]

.Murtagh, Bearer of Oaths [varden]
Companion-Man
Strength 7
Vitality 3
Resistance 3
Spellcaster.
Murtagh is resistance +1 for each [varden] companion you can spot. At the start of each skirmish involving Murtagh, wound him twice or add 3 burdens. Each other [varden] companion is resistance +1.
I assume this is an "ARB", correct? It’s interesting-almost like a combo of Galadriel and Boromir.
.Eragon, Last Hope to a Lost People [varden]
Companion-Man
Strength 7
Vitality 3
Resistance 6
Spellcaster.
At the start of each skirmish involving Eragon, add two threats or two burdens.
Nice. I love the Gimli-like balance.
.Nasuada, Lady Nightstalker [varden]
Companion-Man
Strength 6
Vitality 3
Resistance 7
Each [varden] companion is resistance +1. Each companion with resistance 7 or more is strength +2. Each time Nasuada wins a skirmish, you may wound a kull.
Hmm...should her first gametext sentence read "each other [varden] companion"? Otherwise, she’s got one free burden before she drops in strength. But a cool card. This would be killer with Brom’s ability!
.Angela, Prophetess [varden]
Companion-Man
Strength 7
Vitality 3
Resistance 7
Spellcaster.
Elva is strength +1 and resistance +1. At the start of each skirmish involving Angela, you may reveal the top card of your draw deck for each companion with 6 or more resistance you can spot. Exert each minion she is skirmishing once for each fellowship card revealed.
mmm...She’s doomed! Your’e doomed! They’re all doomed! ...Notice I didn’t spicify what kind of doom, so now whatever happens, I predicted it. How very wise of me.
Hey, this one’s got lore! I love the Elven Telepathy feel of her ability.


.Eragon, Knurlheim
Companion-Man
Strength 6
Vitality 3
Resistance 6
While Eragon is the Dragon Rider or bears an artifact, the twilight cost of each dwarf is -1. At the start of each skirmish involving Eragon, discard two possessions or add 2 burdens.
I like this one too. Great cultural enforcement going on.
.Hrothgar, Master of Farthen Dur
Companion-Dwarf
Strength 8
Vitality 5
Resistance 7
To play, spot two dwarves. For each possession or artifact Hrothgar bears, he is damage +1.
Nice!
.Volund, Hammer of Kings
Artifact-Hand Weapon
Vitality +1
Bearer must be a dwarf. If bearer is Hrothgar, he is strength +1 for each artifact you can spot (limit +6).
Ooh, I love the Durin III feel of this one-it feels like Durin, but isn’t quite like Durin...cool stuff.
.Isidar Mithrim, Shattered Beauty
Artifact-Support Area
To play, exert a dwarf. Each dwarf at a mountain site is strength +2. Regroup: Discard this artifact to make the shadow player discard a shadow card for each companion you can spot.
Nice...although the Regroup ability is a lot more powerful than Blood Runs Chill.
.Silver Pendant
Artifact-Pendant
Spell.
Scrying may not be played. Once per turn, if the Dragon Rider is about to heal, you may remove a burden instead.
Cool.
.Dragon-Armor
Artifact-Support Area
To play, spot two dwarves. Each time the Dragon Rider is about to take a burden in a skirmish, you may also heal them.
Nice-this would be a lethal combo with the pendant...
.Gannel, Dwarven High Priest
Companion-Dwarf
Strength 8
Vitality 4
Resistance 8
Spellcaster.
Each time a spell is played, you may exert Gannel to make him damage +1 until the regroup phase. The twilight cost of each spell is -1.
Hmm...pretty good...although not as good as Brom.


.Oromis, The Mourning Sage
Companion-Elf
Strength 6
Vitality 3
Resistance 6
Spellcaster.
While Oromis is the Dragon Rider or bears an aritfact, the twilight cost of each tale and spell is -1. While Oromis is the Dragon Rider, at the start of each skirmish involving him, exert three companions or add 2 burdens.
A good ADR.
.Eragon, Blessed by Dragons
Companion-Elf
Strength 8
Vitality 3
Resistance 6
While you can spot three elves (or Arya), at the start of each of your fellowship phases, add a spell from your discard pile to your hand. Each time the free peoples player moves, discard two cards from hand or add 3 burdens.
Nice! "Telepathy" combined with a Gandalf, BOO feel. I love the hand-cycling possiblities.
.Arya, Heiress of Elves
Companion-Elf
Strength 7
Vitality 3
Resistance 7
Spellcaster.
While you can spot three other elves, Arya is strength +2. Each time a spell is played in a skirmish involving arya, you may exert her to put an card from your discard pile on top or fyour draw deck.
Good.
.Zar’roc, Renewed Blade
Artifact-Hand Weapon
Strength+2
Bearer must be Eragon. Each time he wins a skirmish, you may remove a burden.
Powerful one!
Scrying
Event-Fellowship
Spell.
The free peoples player may choose a free peoples card from their deck, show it to their opponent, and add it to their hand. Each shadow player may then choose a shadow card from their deck, show it to their opponent, and add it to their hand.
Interesting mechanic.
[kull]

.Nar Garzhvog, Black Cheiftain [kull]
Companion-Kull
Strength 9
Vitality 4
Resistance 5
Damage+1.
Each other [kull] kull is damage +1. Skirmish: If Nar Garzhvog is damage+X, exert him to make him strength+X.
Ooh, good card.

BTW, I think your cards should read "each other [Carvahall] companion"...unless Carvahall is a race.
dangit... i totally blanked there. I will fix that in future cards, although i may not have time to go back to others while working on the new sets!
[varden]

.Murtagh, Bearer of Oaths [varden]
Companion-Man
Strength 7
Vitality 3
Resistance 3
Spellcaster.
Murtagh is resistance +1 for each [varden] companion you can spot. At the start of each skirmish involving Murtagh, wound him twice or add 3 burdens. Each other [varden] companion is resistance +1.
I assume this is an "ARB", correct? It’s interesting-almost like a combo of Galadriel and Boromir.
I will definately add a ring to the resistance, like i did with the others, thank you.

.Nasuada, Lady Nightstalker [varden]
Companion-Man
Strength 6
Vitality 3
Resistance 7
Each [varden] companion is resistance +1. Each companion with resistance 7 or more is strength +2. Each time Nasuada wins a skirmish, you may wound a kull.
Hmm...should her first gametext sentence read "each other [varden] companion"? Otherwise, she’s got one free burden before she drops in strength. But a cool card. This would be killer with Brom’s ability!
Other... got that... another thing I’ll make time to change...

.Dragon-Armor
Artifact-Support Area
To play, spot two dwarves. Each time the Dragon Rider is about to take a burden in a skirmish, you may also heal them.
Nice-this would be a lethal combo with the pendant...
Quite.

Scrying
Event-Fellowship
Spell.
The free peoples player may choose a free peoples card from their deck, show it to their opponent, and add it to their hand. Each shadow player may then choose a shadow card from their deck, show it to their opponent, and add it to their hand.
Interesting mechanic.
Isn’t it? I just love it. Btw, the reason the pendant prevents scrying is because that’s what it did in the books, and it would be all to easy to grab dragon armor for that lethal combo. Plus, I will be making a shadow card "scrying" that has some sort of corruption ability....

"2".Shrrgnien, Wolfheart "Dwarven"
Companion-Dwarf
Strength 6
Vitality 3
Resistance 6
Damage+1.
At the start of each skirmish involving Shrrgnien, you may exert each minion in that skirmish (or exert that minion twice if Shrrgnien is at a mountain site).
where were the seven guards? OK card.
They were the dwarves that escorted Eragon from Tarnag to Du Weldenvarden. To do this, they had to cross plains, rivers, and mountains... and of course dwarves like battlegrounds! Plus, it would be very good if I made all these effects apply to one kind of site, esp. with site replacement and playing.

"2".Ama, Fifth of the Seven Guards "Dwarven"
Companion-Dwarf
Strength 6
Vitality 3
Resistance 6
Damage+1.
Each time the fellowship moves from a plains site, you may exert Ekksvar to replace that site with a site from your adventure deck.
shouldn’t it be you may exert Ama?
When making the cards I did a little ability-swapping, and I forgot to change that. Thanks for pointing it out!

.Duthmer, Seventh of the Seven Guards “Dwarven”
Companion-Dwarf
Strength 7
Vitality 3
Resistance 6
Damage+1.
Each time the fellowship moves from a mountain site, you may draw two cards.
any reason why this guy is seven and the rest are six?
They just needed a beefier companion, I suppose.

"1"Feldunost "Dwarven"
Possession-Mount
Strength +2
Resistance +1
Bearer must be a dwarf. Regroup: Exert bearer to replace the fellowship’’s current site with another site from your adventure deck.
howb’t another mountain site.
Thanks for the advice, but I would have to change a lot. The point is using all of the dwarves diverse abilities to your advantage. Easy to pull off if all the sites are mountains, but....

"1"Dwarven Rafts "Dwarven"
Possession-Support Area
At the start of the regroup phase, if the fellowship has initiative and is at a river site, they may discard 3 cards from hand to make the move limit +1.
this seems maybe a bit underpowered. maybe make it 2 cards.
I think it is fine as is, with site replacement, move limit increasing is a powerful ability. Look at the drawbacks of cards like News From the Mark, or huge twilight cost on Last Throw, and those are just events...

"3"Buried In Stone "Dwarven"
Event-Fellowship
Toil 2.
Take an event from your discard pile into your hand.
Make it 2 twilight cost and free peoples event
free peoples event... gotcha...

Site Path:

"3"Moldun the Proud [Site] Mountain.
Each time a dwarf wins a skirmish, you may draw a card.
starkhorn? Change it to is assigned to a skirmish (limit 2)
Not a bad idea. I think I’ll do that.

[6]Torkenbrand, Desert Raider [nomad]
Minion-Man
Strength 15
Vitality 3
Site 4
Fierce.
Each other [nomad] man is strength +1. While you can spot 4 threats, at the start of each skirmish involving Torkenbrand, the companion he is skirmishing must exert.
"Slaves do not address their masters in such a manner, unless they want to be beaten."
only complaint is this he almost seems too good for a starter deck. whoops I deleted his twilight cost I shall have to see what it was
The other cards are almost better than he is. And he does have a big twilight cost.


“3"Desert Man [nomad]
Minion-Man
Strength 8
Vitality 3
Site 4
Each time this minion is assigned to skirmish, you may remove 1"to add a threat.
"Well, ’’ow much is she worth?"
if you really want to make it interesting change it to remove 2 to add a threat for each other [nomad] minion you can spot.
Again, good idea. I’ll add that.

"1".Seeking Their Prey [nomad]
Condition-Support Area
To play, spot a [nomad] minion.
Threats cannot be removed by the free peoples player.
Shadow: Remove "1"to play a [nomad] minion and add a threat.
...where a tall, brown-cloaked man sat on a sorrel horse, mace in hand. Behind him was a group of twenty horsemen.
change it to remove 2 to add a threat for each nomad minion you can spot over 1. so it isn’t a blatant rip off of rallying call.
I have a lot of blantant rip-offs. But when making a new culture I find it necessary. Hopefully, some of my other cards can eventually become more unique, but for now I need some solid ground to stand on...

"2".Roran’’s Hammer, Magician’’s Bane [carvahall]
Possession-Hand Weapon
Strength +3
Bearer must be Roran. He is damage +1. Response: If a spell is played, you may discard two cards from hand to cancel the effect of that spell.
I assume this refers to the demise of the twins?
Quite so.

2".Volund, Hammer of Kings "Dwarven"
Artifact-Hand Weapon
Vitality +1
Bearer must be a dwarf. If bearer is Hrothgar, he is strength +1 for each "Dwarven"artifact you can spot (limit +6).
now I have an idea for this make it if bearer is Hrothgar he is strength +x while he is damage +x
Hmm... Quite a thought. Esp. paired with Hrothgar’s own ability... me likey.

"1".Silver Pendant "Dwarven"
Artifact-Pendant
Spell.
Scrying may not be played. Once per turn, if the Dragon Rider is about to heal, you may remove a burden instead.
out of curiosity is their a shadow scrying?
Yes.

"2".Dragon Armor "Dwarven"
Artifact-Support Area
To play, spot two dwarves. Each time the Dragon Rider is about to take a burden in a skirmish, you may also heal them.
heal him or it or something like that. o nother flash of brilliance(or stupidity) (lol) make a companion saphira along the same lines as the eragon I requested above.
... actually, maybe... with these requests, I beel obliged to let you know that Galbatorix and Murtagh make appearances as minions in my upcoming sets... WOW idea here can you imagine the cards I will be making once the last book comes out? Fun fun fun.

"3".Arya, Heiress of Elves "Elven"
Companion-Elf
Strength 7
Vitality 3
Resistance 7
Spellcaster.
While you can spot three other elves, Arya is strength +2. Each time a spell is played in a skirmish involving arya, you may exert her to put an "Elven"card from your discard pile on top of your draw deck.
the second Arya should be capitalized
I’m making a lot of mistakes... probably just over-eager to get these cards out!

"2".Zar’’roc, Renewed Blade "Elven"
Artifact-Hand Weapon
Strength+2
Bearer must be Eragon. Each time he wins a skirmish, you may remove a burden.
renewed?
Did I spell it wrong? Or are you questioning why I chose the word. If it is the latter, Zar’roc caused much damage when it was Morzan’s sword, but now that it is in Eragon’s hands... its "renewed"
