Since it looks like I’m first for once, I’ll give this a full review. Smile

• Great Goblin, Chieftain of the High Pass Moria

Minion • Orc
Strength: 12
Vitality: 3

Lurker. Ambush

.
Each other Moria

Orc is ambush

.
While the Great Goblin is at an underground site he is strength + 2 and fierce.
Maneuver or Skirmish: Exert the Great Goblin twice to discard a free peoples possession.
"There in the shadows on a large flat stone sat a tremendous goblin with a huge head..."

Fits very well with the story, but I think he might be a TAD overpowered. With all that going on, I think he should cost

at least.

•Bard, The Bowman Gandalf

Companion • Man
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 7
Archer. To play, spot a Gandalf

companion.
Archery: Exert Bard twice and discard 5 cards from hand to discard a minion from play.
"But there was still a company of archers that held their ground among the burning houses. Their captain was Bard, grim-voiced and grim-faced...."

Nice and simple, but that archery ability might have been better at 4 cards. Still, I’d use him, for the fact that he’s an archer if nothing else.

•Bert, Mutton Hater Orc

Minion • Troll
Strength: 15
Vitality: 3
Site Number: 4
Damage +1. Fierce. To play spot an Orc

minion.
While you cannot spot 4 companions, Bert is strength -2.
”’Mutton yesterday, mutton today, and blimey, if it don’t look like mutton again tomorrer...’”

Good. Nice and balanced. No complaints, but a tad bland.

• Thranduil, Elvenking of Mirkwood Green

Companion • Elf
Strength: 7
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 7
Muster.
While you can spot 3 Green

Elves, each minion skirmishing a Green

Elf is strength -1.
Maneuver: Exert Thranduil to reveal the top card of your draw deck. If it is an Elven

card, you may take it into hand and exert a minion.
”In a great hall with pillars hewn out of the living stone sat the Elvenking on a chair of carven wood.”

I like him, but since you don’t have a Green

culture built up around him in this contest, he is hurt a bit by not being Elven

culture.

* Bard, Heir of Girion Gandalf

Companion * Man
Str: 6
Vit: 3
Res: 6
While you can spot another Gandalf

Man, Bard is an archer.
While you can spot an Elf, Bard is strength +2.
While you can spot a Dwarf, Bard is damage +1.
’I am Bard, and by my hand was the dragon slain and your treasure delivered.’

Good, but I’m personally not a big fan of 6/3 guys that start off costing

, no matter what their potential benefits are. Still, I AM a fan of cards that encourage rainbow fellowships, and I love that THIS one encourages a Gandalf

Man deck using their staples (other Gandalf

Men and Dwarves) but ALSO brings in Elves. Very cool.

Tough choice, as always in this contest. Such great competitors! Applause

But I think I’ll go with:

Lost Heir
Thranduil

Bard has been made? Think

I think you’re getting him confused with Brand. Trust me, I thought long and hard about the rules.

I vote AP and LH as they are the only other ones who followed the rules, Bard has been made by Decipher already which is why i stated it. I wanted to see some new characters.

Hey, you’re thinking of Brand, King of Dale. Bard’s grandson. Razz

Who would imagine a round where AC and I were fighting for just ONE vote to avoid elimination. Seems to be happening a lot lately.

Please, just ONE vote. Pray
