cool. but it should be transfer this artifact. but until the end f the game!!! if you had it until the end of the turn it would be a card deadly in a radagast run. but still a cool card.

Designer’s Notes
History of the Weapon
Anglachel was forged by Eöl the Dark Elf. The iron from which the blade was forged came from a shooting star, which gave the sword the renowned ability of being able to cleave through iron that was mined from the earth. The blade was given to King Thingol of Doriath, where it remained unused until Beleg Cúthalion took the weapon on his hunt for Túrin Turambar. The blade was used by Beleg until he himself was slain with it by the hand of Túrin, who mistook him for an Orc. Túrin then took the blade, where it was forged anew by Elven smiths in Nargothrond, and named Gurthang. Túrin slew the Dragon Glaurung with the sword, and used the weapon to commit suicide shortly thereafter.

Culture
represents Doriath, an Elven city located east of Dor-lomin (Túrin’s hometown) and south of Gondolin (a hidden Elven city).

Card Design
This card was designed with Anduril-like stats; the twilight cost of , and the +2 strength bonus and +1 vitality bonus. To follow the story, the bearer is limited to either Beleg or Túrin. The skirmish ability goes along with the fact that Beleg was slain, but the sword received a new master. Plus, the last sentence of the blade’s text prevents a player from abusing the sword with Falls of Rauros.
