Cool! I think the damage bonus is cool, but ap might be right it being a bit powerful. Maybe make it +1 strength, or  cost.

Wouldn’t the Fierce be lost when it actually is checked? Anyway, I like the idea behind it.

Cool card! The response-ability seems a tad bit powerful though. |

I think I would switch the abilities to make Lemenya damage+1 and any nazgul get the skirmish action.

Should be unique, shouldn’t it?
I actually don’t think it’s too powerful, but that’s just me.

A little powerful. I like the suggestion to switch the requirement of Ulaire Lemenya, I’d go with that.

Should add onto the fierce bit ’until the regroup phase.’

I think it would be better to take out the strength bonus, add it into the text with ’If bearer is a Nazgul, they are strength +1’, add a -1 resistance thing onto the card itself, and have the card transfer to the guy they’re fighting, so it’s easier to remember and not as powerful (as it can be discarded). Unless the guy it transfers to is already bearing 2 hand weapons, it would work.

I LOVE that idea!  Done. I also switched around the abilities on Sword of Minas Morgul, Dark Rider’s Blade.
Thanks for the reviews, everyone. I’ll hold off on more cards until a couple folks let me know what they think of the new and improved cards. |

I’m slightly taken aback that you agreed with me, but I won’t complain. 
They’re all looking great, but you don’t need in the ability ’If bearer is a Nazgul’, because you say ’companion’ in its text (so, if they really want to, allow the free peoples player to exert their companion to move it onto a companion in their skirmish, ie themselves!).

Hey, you often have very good ideas, I just don’t always agree. Case in point....

I disagree here. 
But I have a good reason! Say I, as the Shadow player, transfer this to the Ring-bearer. Obviously that’s the LAST place the FP player wants it, so if I leave out the Nazgul part, they could find a way to exert their RB and transfer it to a different companion. Slim chance, since it’s unlikely the RB AND that other companion will be in the same skirmish, but it IS possible thanks to a couple cards in my sets that allow multiple companions in the same skirmish. So I’d rather play it safe and avoid potential broken combos like Decipher is famous for now.  |

You’ve already seen twilight versions of both the Witch-king and Khamûl, but now here’s the rest of the set’s twilight Nazgûl. Enjoy!
 •Úlairë Enquëa, Dim and Dark
Minion • Nazgûl
Strength: 11
Vitality: 4
Site: 3
Twilight. Fierce.
Each time Úlairë Enquëa wins a fierce skirmish, you may add a burden (or 2 burdens if you can spot 6 companions) or 2 threats.
cards borne by companions cannot be discarded.
“In their white faces burned keen and merciless eyes....”
 •Úlairë Nelya, Dim and Dark
Minion • Nazgûl
Strength: 10
Vitality: 3
Site: 2
Twilight.
While you can spot 4 burdens, Úlairë Nelya is fierce.
Each twilight Nazgûl skirmishing a companion bearing a card is damage +1.
“Over the lip of the little dell, on the side away from the hill, they felt, rather than saw, a shadow rise, one shadow or more than one.”
 •Úlairë Otsëa, Dim and Dark
Minion • Nazgûl
Strength: 9
Vitality: 3
Site: 3
Twilight. Hunter 1.
While you can spot 4 conditions, Úlairë Otsëa is fierce.
At the start of each fierce skirmish involving Úlairë Otsëa, you may exert him to play or transfer a card that is able to be borne by a companion onto a companion in that skirmish.
“Their eyes fell on him and pierced him, as they rushed towards him.” |
