CG
 •Morluin’s Staff, Remade in Darkness 
Artifact • Hand Weapon
Site: -4
Bearer must be a minion. While bearer is the only minion you can spot, bearer is strength +1 for each condition you can spot (limit +3, or +4 if bearer is Morluin).
Regroup: Discard this artifact and a card from your hand to play a condition from your discard pile.
"I now possess power much greater than I ever dreamed of..."
Seems a bit underpowered. I’d add a +1 strength bonus.
spartiatis
 • Blade of Gondor, Mighty Broadsword 
Possession - Hand Weapon
strength: +2
Bearer must be Boromir. He is damage +1.
Skirmish:Add a threat to transfer a fortification borne by a minion to another minion.
"It was a blade both feared and hated by the foes of Gondor"
Designer’s note: all of my DCs’ will not try to forge a new strategy. They will be cards that i would like to see "implemented" in the current knight decks.
Neat! This is a great combo with Hearts Raised (or even Gondorian Captain).
Thranduil
Thranduil’s Spear 
Possession • Hand Weapon
Str: +1
Bearer must be an Elf.
While bearer has resistance 8 or more, he or she is strength +2.
If bearer is Thranduil, each time he wins a skirmish, you may remove a burden.
Their spears and swords shone in the gloom with a gleam of chill flame...
A bit overpowered. The burden removal ability needs to have a drawback; perhaps add .
AP
• Gimli’s Battle Axe, Orc Cleaver 
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be Gimli. He gains hunter 1.
Skirmish: Discard a card from hand and remove a token to exert a minion Gimli is skirmishing (or wound that minion if it is an Orc or Uruk-hai).
”’Yet my axe is restless in my hand. Give me a row of orc-necks and room to swing and all weariness will fall from me!’”
I realized afterwards that I used the lore from Restless Axe. 
CBB
•Mighty Long Whip
Artifact • Hand Weapon
Bearer must be a balrog. This may be borne in addition to 1 other hand weapon. If bearer is Gorgothruin, he is fierce.
When you play this artifact, you may make a companion vitality -1 until the regroup phase.
Overpowered. That vitality subtraction should be strength instead, IMO. Plus, the title seems like it’s using a southern-ish adjective, like "that’s a might long tee shot" or "that’s mighty long hair".
SoP
•Tuilin’s Longsword, Beautiful and deadly
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength • +1
Bearer must be an Elf.
If bearer is Tuilin, each non-unique minion skirmishing him is strength -2 and
each unique minion skirmishing him cannot use skirmish special abilities.
the slightly recurved blade of an elf, though beautiful, is also perfectly functional in its main capacity. Killing things effectively.
[b]The strength subtraction for non-unique minions should be -1 IMO, and the skirmish special ability cancellation should have a drawback.
WLC
•Nimae’s Bow
Possession • Ranged Weapon
Strength: +1
Resistance: +1
Bearer must be an companion.
Archery: Discard an event from hand to exert a minion with lower strength as bearer’s resistance (or wound that minion if bearer is Nimae).
Although not quite a fighter, Nimae was as skilled with his bow as he was with his harp.
The wording is a little off, but the text seems fine; maybe a bit overpowered, though.
Dain
•Rorin’s Battle Axe, Last Work of Balir
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be a Dwarf. Bearer is damage +1.
If bearer is Rorin, each time he wins a fierce skirmish, you may heal him.
Skirmish: Exert bearer and play a skirmish event with a twilight cost of X to make bearer strength +X. Limit once per skirmish.
Rorin proudly carried a double-bladed steel battle axe, the last crafted by his father Balir.
The healing ability should have a drawback, like add .
NB
•Crooked Black Knife 
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +1
Bearer must be a man.
If bearer is Hareth, this weapon may be borne in addition to one other hand weapon.
Skirmish: Discard this possession to wound a companion skirmishing bearer.
A bit underpowered. Maybe add "(if that companion is then exhausted, you may add a burden)."
L3333
Sword of the North, Blade of The Dunedan
Strength +2
Resistance +1
Exert Bearer twice to Remove a Threat (or Two Threats if you can spot 2 rangers)
No bearer, no phase action, and unnecessary capitalization.
EL
*Haldir’s Sword, Flashing Elven-Steel
Possession * Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Haldir.
Each time Haldir wins a skirmish, you may reinforce an token.
Skirmish: Remove 2 tokens to exert a minion skirmishing an hunter (limit once per skirmish).
There was a flash of steel, and the Uruk fell dead...
A bit overpowered. I’d make the strength bonus only +1 and give it a hunter 1 bonus.
macheteman
•Gorki’s Axe, Blade of his Forefathers 
Possession • Hand-weapon
Strength: +1
Resistance: +1
Bearer must be a companion.
When you play this possession you may draw a card.
If bearer is Gorki, he gains muster.
A bit underpowered. I would drop the cost to .
Dain
EL

Okay, I’m new at this, so please bear with me.

"I now possess power much greater than I ever dreamed of..."
I like this twisted wizard race, apparently one of those that mysteriously turned away from his intended purpose.
It has been pointed out that the site subtraction would have no affect on the twilight cost of the bearer. It could be put to good use against rangers, though.
spartiatis
• Blade of Gondor, Mighty Broadsword
Possession - Hand Weapon
strength: +2
Bearer must be Boromir. He is damage +1.
Skirmish:Add a threat to transfer a fortification borne by a minion to another minion.
"It was a blade both feared and hated by the foes of Gondor"
Designer’s note: all of my DCs’ will not try to forge a new strategy. They will be cards that i would like to see "implemented" in the current knight decks.
When I read this, I thought I was reading actual game text by Decipher. This would really come in handy. Great card!
Thranduil
Thranduil’s Spear
Possession • Hand Weapon
Str: +1
Bearer must be an Elf.
While bearer has resistance 8 or more, he or she is strength +2.
If bearer is Thranduil, each time he wins a skirmish, you may remove a burden.
Their spears and swords shone in the gloom with a gleam of chill flame...
It ties in very well with its companion card, and if he is fighting a wounded minion, then Thranduil gets strong. Then burden removal! Your opponent would definitely want this guy to die.
AP
• Gimli’s Battle Axe, Orc Cleaver
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be Gimli. He gains hunter 1.
Skirmish: Discard a card from hand and remove a token to exert a minion Gimli is skirmishing (or wound that minion if it is an Orc or Uruk-hai).
”’Yet my axe is restless in my hand. Give me a row of orc-necks and room to swing and all weariness will fall from me!’”
What can I say? Just an all-round good card. I like the way that you could exert a minion without hurting Gimli himself.
CBB
•Mighty Long Whip
Artifact • Hand Weapon
Bearer must be a balrog. This may be borne in addition to 1 other hand weapon. If bearer is Gorgothruin, he is fierce.
When you play this artifact, you may make a companion vitality -1 until the regroup phase.
Mighty Long Whip, the title made me smile. Just this card would turn a very strong balrog into a ridiculously strong balrog...and then he can have another hand weapon!
SoP
•Tuilin’s Longsword, Beautiful and deadly
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength • +1
Bearer must be an Elf.
If bearer is Tuilin, each non-unique minion skirmishing him is strength -2 and
each unique minion skirmishing him cannot use skirmish special abilities.
the slightly recurved blade of an elf, though beautiful, is also perfectly functional in its main capacity. Killing things effectively.
An elvish Faramir, Son Of Denethor, but only against unique minions - I like it. Against non-uniques, it basically gives Tuilin a 3 point advantage, a bit much, maybe.
WLC
•Nimae’s Bow
Possession • Ranged Weapon
Strength: +1
Resistance: +1
Bearer must be an companion.
Archery: Discard an event from hand to exert a minion with lower strength as bearer’s resistance (or wound that minion if bearer is Nimae).
Although not quite a fighter, Nimae was as skilled with his bow as he was with his harp.
Reasonable, methinks.
Dain
•Rorin’s Battle Axe, Last Work of Balir
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be a Dwarf. Bearer is damage +1.
If bearer is Rorin, each time he wins a fierce skirmish, you may heal him.
Skirmish: Exert bearer and play a skirmish event with a twilight cost of X to make bearer strength +X. Limit once per skirmish.
Rorin proudly carried a double-bladed steel battle axe, the last crafted by his father Balir.
A little bit complicated (but maybe because it’s past my bedtime, and my brain’s a bit addled  ), but good.
NB
•Crooked Black Knife
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength: +1
Bearer must be a man.
If bearer is Hareth, this weapon may be borne in addition to one other hand weapon.
Skirmish: Discard this possession to wound a companion skirmishing bearer.
This allows the bearer to have 2 hand weapons, but it’s not too powerful with a +1 strength bonus. And again, I like the fact that you can wound your opponent without hurting the bearer.
L3333
Sword of the North, Blade of The Dunedan
Strength +2
Resistance +1
Exert Bearer twice to Remove a Threat (or Two Threats if you can spot 2 rangers)
Ehm, is this fixed yet?
EL
*Haldir’s Sword, Flashing Elven-Steel
Possession * Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Bearer must be Haldir.
Each time Haldir wins a skirmish, you may reinforce an token.
Skirmish: Remove 2 tokens to exert a minion skirmishing an hunter (limit once per skirmish).
There was a flash of steel, and the Uruk fell dead...
Personally, I always like token reinforcements, they always come in handy. Maybe a bit too handy here, if you’ve got a deck full of elven hunters. Perhaps you should make the limit once per turn, rather than skirmish.
macheteman
•Gorki’s Axe, Blade of his Forefathers
Possession • Hand-weapon
Strength: +1
Resistance: +1
Bearer must be a companion.
When you play this possession you may draw a card.
If bearer is Gorki, he gains muster.[/quote]
[b]What was this guy thinking? Just kidding!  Actually, I would be happy to draw this card if I was going to move twice, sometimes that one extra card can make a big difference. The muster is great, too.
This is a very difficult decision, so many good ones, but:
Spartiatis
NB
AP
Close behind these was mm and CG. Can’t I vote for 5?  [/b] |

my appologies to NBarden. i totaly missed the last line of text for some reason. and now i really like that card. so sorry. and i’ve realized that i should have given my card a strength +2 and left off the resistance bonus. oh well...

| Yeah, I know my card doesn’t affect twilight cost. Basically, the Morluin deck is going to be a bit of a solo/duo deck, so I don’t want Morluin to get discarded by those nasty, nasty rangers. |

Niiiice. Kinda hard to fulfil 8 res or more unless bearer is thranduil skirmishing a wounded minion or wounded himself which is risky. I like it though.

Yeah its ok, not better than some of the other axes.

Erm interesting, i like it but not sure about altering someones vitality, bit of a unique idea.

Quite cool actually. presume that "as" is meant to be "than".

Very cool. Very useful.

Yeah uncomplicated but very good.
L3333
Sword of the North, Blade of The Dunedan

Ive heard mention this is supposed to be regroup? Even so not convinced its very useful. Its ok.
EL

Each time Haldir wins a skirmish, you may reinforce an token.
Skirmish: Remove 2 tokens to exert a minion skirmishing an hunter (limit once per skirmish).
There was a flash of steel, and the Uruk fell dead...
The first part has great synergy with Haldir’s ability but the second part almost replicates that relevant part. Costs too much, would have been better without last bit and costing .

Fair enough, bit costly without damage +1.

Spartiatis
Thranduil

Call upon the Chosen Ones mm in the office. That should get you a vote out of Dain and NB as well. O Nb is away.
And do what i have sadly had to do in my contest cos votes are sparse, make the requirement for the round if youre in it you have to vote. That would get a vote from Spartiatis, CBB and WLC. |
