A Desperate Venture
Event • Skirmish
Toil 1.
Make a Dwarf skirmishing a unique minion strength +1 (limit +5) for each tale you can spot.
“...they all began discussing dragon-slayings historical, dubious, and mythical, and the various sorts of stabs and jabs and undercuts, and the different arts, devices and stratagems by which they had been accomplished.”

How many unique minions are there in this set? I feel like it’s a bit too limited, as you end up depending on the shadow player using certain cards to make your cards work.

Getting the feeling I’m a fan of these "choose between or an exertion" events?

I, as you may also have gathered, am not a fan of these "choose between or an exertion" events, I would always choose the twilight (unless i knew the opponent had a red wrath or whirling strike in their hand and were short to play it).

Old Burning Grudge
Event • Maneuver
Toil 1.
Until the regroup phase, make a Dwarf (except the Ring-bearer) resistance +1 (limit +4) or strength +1 (limit +4) for each card over 4 you can spot in the discard and dead piles.
“The embers in the heart of Thorin grew hot again, as he brooded on the wrongs of his House and of the vengeance upon the Dragon that was bequeathed to him. He thought of weapons and armies and alliances, as his great hammer rang in the forge....”

It’s a bit complicated, but nevertheless a solid card. Wouldn’t mind seeing it simplified, and I agree somewhat with WeyounsLastClone. But it still works, so I’m not that bothered either way.

Dáin’s DC Duos #213

•Farewell, King Under the Mountain!

Tale.
Each time a Dwarf is placed in the dead or discard pile, you may remove a burden.
Regroup: Discard this condition and place a unique Dwarf companion with X vitality in the dead pile to remove X burdens and heal the Ring-bearer (twice if the Ring-bearer is a Hobbit).
“‘I go now to the halls of waiting to sit beside my fathers, until the world is renewed. Since I leave now all gold and silver, and go where it is of little worth, I wish to part in friendship from you....’”
nice!

Dwarf burden removal - don’t see that very often. Good, solid and balanced.

I think ’another’ is superfluous, but I understand why you put it in. Like it a lot!

Dáin’s DC Duos #213

We’re really winding down with the culture now. Right now I only have three more cards made, including the ones below. So we could be looking at only one more Duo after this...or perhaps 3 or 4 if I get a sudden creative streak. We shall see. Either way, it’s coming to an end soon.

But as for THESE, it’s a couple more useful tales. Enjoy!
