Good card; maybe change it to ’Spot 2 knights or exert a Man.....’
I’m looking forward to the next batch!  |

Interesting. A high-strength Denethor without a drawback. He’s balanced enough to not need one, however; I like it.

Harsh spotting requirements. I’d make it "To play, spot two knights or exert a Man." Other than that, good card.

Ouch. This could hurt the Shadow player a lot, especially if the Free Peoples player is cycling fortifications from their discard pile with cards such as Gondor Still Stands and Sixth Level. However, I don’t think it’s broken because of the face that most of these cards require a lot of exerts.

I’d take Anonymous Prodigy’s suggestion and lower the spotting requirements. Great card(s)! I look forward to seeing more.  |

I like it. But maybe allow less cards to be discarded when that minion is roaming. Not bad at all as it’s currently written, just...that would be more ranger-esque. Know what I mean?

Unless he’s unique, it should be "this companion", not "Northern Ranger", in the text.

I like this initiative stuff. Haven’t seen that for a little while. And the fact that you can reconcile your (probably small) hand is a nice touch. Maybe give this card a low twilight cost though, like or .

Needs a low cost or at least some spotting requirement. But it’s a good card otherwise.

I like it. Does a lot without being overpowered. Good job.

It’s a horse that’s brought to Aragorn in Gondor (by rangers of the north, I believe) near the end of Return of the King. Didn’t make it into the movie, though, since the trek of the Three Hunters is rather different. Aragorn keeps Brego in the film.
These are just plain neat, so have a GP. |

Cards edited accordingly. NBarden, these Dunedain ranger cards focus on the Shadow having initiative; not making minions roaming or spotting roaming minions.

Hmm... why not? Citadel of Minas Tirith requires no lost skirmishes, and it doesn’t add 2 resistance to the companion. |

Yeah, I agree. There are some similarities, but this is a vastly different card, and in my opinion, it would be a better option in many decks. |

Personally, I would have kept it strength +3, since the Shadow player doesn’t get initiative very often. I do like how you tied in the roaming minion bit to fit the current ranger strategy. Nicely done.

I would change the discard a card from hand part to adding a threat to match your Northern Ranger. Then again, discarding a card from hand helps the Shadow gain initiative. I’d say either way would be fine.
