| It doesn’t matter if you have a limit. The limit only applies when the card’s in play. If you have a limit on an event, it only regulates that specific event’s action. It can’t affect other events. |

| But see if it said "If you can spot 5 companions..." then they could only discard until you had 4 companions. That’s a ’limit’ of sorts. |

Oh, that’s what you meant. I thought you were talking about "limit" as in "(limit 2)". My bad.
I think the event is good as it is. Let’s weigh the two...
Caradhras has not forgiven us
Cost:  + exertion + spot 5 companions (one exhausted). Effect: discard the exhausted companion.
Leave None Alive!
Cost:  + discard minion + spot exhausted companion. Effect: discard exhausted companion.
Here’s the reason why they balance: the first one doesn’t take down the number of minions, but the second one dumps a minion that’s still alive. So you need to play a moderately strong minion, costing possibly or  . That alone makes it cost as much as CHNFU. It’s also in the Regroup Phase, not the Maneuver, so it doesn’t take a companion out of skirmishes. |

This minion is a little too powerful. I would change it to "-2", or increase his cost by 1.

I like this, although I don’t know how reliable it would end up being. Could you have an easy way to get a companion exhausted?

Ooh, ouch! That’s a really good one, especially now that Madril, Defender of Osgiliath is out there!

Hmm...it looks kind of like you’ve got a loop going here with Raiding Uruk. You can’t exert companions until you’ve got sites controlled, and you can’t control sites without exhausted companions. But once it kicks in (like after a wound-filled Site 4) it really kicks in!

So, what do you guys think? Feel free to continue reviewing - the cards can still be changed.
As you guys can probably see, the main focus is site control (7 cards reference it!), with Hunters a sub-theme (3 cards). To tie them both together, there is a theme of exerting companions and spotting exhausted/wounded companions (4 cards). |

| All right! We should probably straighten the rare count out in the main thread, and then we can assign rarities to these and tweak them if we need to, to fit the rarity. |
