Finally, some of you older DC Makers may remember attempts at cross-cultures (I forget exactly who it was, AC, Dain or Pepper, I want to say, though...) Anyway, my attempt:

•Loyalty Pledged
Condition • Support Area
To play Loyalty Pledged, discard a companion from hand or play and spot Saruman.
cards in play are considered cards for all purposes.
While Saruman is unwounded, cards in your hand, deck and discard pile are considered cards for all purposes.

Heheh. I did some of that. I still have a few in my sets, actually, so stick around long enough and you’ll get to see some.

I knew it was one of you three...

I think it’s a great concept, although the multi-printed culture cards would be somewhat hard to pull off...

•White Hand and Red Eye
Condition • Support Area
Each character with the Saruman signet gains the Sauron signet.
Your cards in play are considered cards for all purposes.
While you can spot an unwounded companion with the printed culture, cards in your hand, deck and discard pile are considered cards for all purposes.

I’m thinking maybe having the spot requirement of 2 unwounded companions, but I think it needs something to make it have more of a cost compared to the effect.

What I envisioned for cards that are multi-culture from the start (no triggers to pull it off) was a for the culture background to be split halfway on a diagonal from the bottom left to the top right, and the culture icon split on each side. So for, say, a / Aragorn, everything above the line would be background (with the icon cut right down the middle) and the bottom half would be background with the bottom half of the icon underneath the upper half of the icon. Make sense?

A "The" in front of "White Hand" and "Red Eye" might sound better in the title.

Otherwise, this looks good. I think it’s balanced just fine as is, personally.

Cool. And that does sound better, although I did like the imagery that came with that title...

The image that came to MY mind was of someone struck with some horrible disease.
