| Does anyone besides me HATE the stupid lore that D puts on so many of the new cards. If you can’t find a line from the book or movie, I say just leave it blank! They come up with some really stupid lores... I mean, does that shield look like it has silver on it? Not to me, it looks like a hardy iron-tipped shield, to me. |

Does anyone else realize that this shield can basically give you a free reconcile? That’s pretty handy for a double-move.

I know, it’s absolutely awful. RoS was pretty bad too. Just look at the lore from White Hand Attacker (the T&D one, not the one that is linked to): "The Uruk-hai army stopped and and growled in anticipation of upcoming battle."  |

It says each opponent AC not you as well, if it did it for you as well it would be a 5. Im giving it 3 though as its a risky thing to attempt. |

That’s true, but it doesn’t make it that useful, though it is a nice change to see a card from T&D that is not blatantly overpowered or that does absolutely nothing! 3

I’m sorry, but I just find this funny.
Archery reduction is getting a bunch of 3s. Meanwhile, people are complaining about Frenzy of Arrows.
(I know, its still broken, but hey. These are -1 archery each, and you don’t have to use the ability.) Its still not good, but that just seems rather ironic. |

| If a crappy card slightly hurts a good one, it doesnt make that card good. |
