This guy really is a master of weapons -- while bearing a possession he’ll be at least strength +2, very likely strength +4, and possibly even a lot more, not even counting the bonus from the possession itself!

The only trouble is that "spot 2 Men Men" requirement. Even a dedicated Evil Men deck may sometimes find itself in a position where Sunland Weaponmaster can’t be used to his full potential, because you don’t have the right cards in hand (2 minions and a possession, plus this minion), or because there’s not enough Shadow-phase twilight available to put the combo together.

Still, it’s a strong card that goes well with some other new cards we’ve seen for the Men culture. Imagine this guy as fierce, damage +1 and around 20 strength with a Beast of War. Cool

Not really that big of a deal. I run a Men exploding lurker swarm (Rampaging Easterling, Column of Easterlings, etc) that has been able to get out 4 minions at site 3. Some decks may have this problem, but my deck will get him in play, with a weapon, and make him strength +1 for each companion assigned to a skirmish. Great card for lurker decks, they need a few big minions to win skirmishes before they explode. 4.

Holy cow, a great card! In the right deck, of course. I’m thinking a swarm with this guy, so that he can tank up and take out a companion, Sauron-style.

This guy could be pretty good in a Support Area possession deck. Stack him on a possession like Cerimonial Armor and then play him with Pandemonium when you have enough minions out.

I wonder if there’ll be a way to stack Men minions from hand?

And once this guy’s in play with a possession, he kicks butt Twisted Evil

Death to the three hunters!

A good three hunters deck has at least four cultures

Isildur, Bearer of Heirlooms / Aragorn, Thorongil
Legolas, of the Woodlan Realm
Gimli, Eager Hunter
Gandalf, Leader of the Company and/or Radagast, the Brown

THAT’S STRENGTH + 8!

With a Frodo RB, +10, but a good three hunters deck should use Isildur RB...

+ worn battleaxe and a bunch of lurkers...

hes’ pretty cool, and with all the possession a big tank, What exactly does Sunland mean? Anyway, if skirmishing a low resistance companion, with mumak, and war trident, lets see here, 25 strength if I am correct. Ow.

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. Razz

Not to my kind of 3 Hunters deck.
Ringbarer Frodo or Isildur.
Starters Legolas and Gimli hunters.
Aragorn Thorongil, Eowyn, Eomer and Gamling from Hunters.
This is 4 or 5 cultures, but I also play 3-4 Seclusion, and 3-4 For the Mark.
