Well, at least some cards building up to him. I know, I’m evil, but there’s a method to my madness, believe it or not.  Enjoy!
Shot in the Dark
Event • Archery
Spot an Elf archer and make the fellowship archery total -2 (or -1 if the fellowship is at a forest or river) to wound a minion.
“Suddenly the great bow of Lórien sang. Shrill went the arrow from the elven-string.”
maybe make the or -1 if the fellowship is at a forest, or the elf archer you spotted is legolas
Shrill Went the Arrow
Event • Archery
If Legolas is an archer (or you can spot 3 Elf archers), make the fellowship archery total +1.
“‘Praised be the bow of Galadriel, and the hand and eye of Legolas! That was a mighty shot in the dark, my friend!’”

Tweaked.
Here’s a few more to keep you interested. Enjoy!
Tree-People
Event • Skirmish
Make a minion skirmishing an Elf strength -2. Then, if that Elf is at a forest site, draw a card.
“‘I will climb up. I am at home among trees, by root or bough....’”
I Go To Find the Sun!
Event • Skirmish
Make a minion skirmishing an Elf strength -2. If that Elf wins this skirmish, and the fellowship is at a forest, mountain, or battleground site, you may remove a burden.
“With that he sprang forth nimbly, and then Frodo noticed as if for the first time, though he had long known it, that the Elf had no boots, but wore only light shoes, as he always did, and his feet made little imprint in the snow.”
Good Hope
Event • Maneuver
Toil 1. Spot an Elf with resistance 6 or more to discard a Shadow condition (or 2 weather conditions).
“The storm had troubled him little, and he alone of the Company remained still light of heart.” |

Neat. A portable Greenleaf, sort of.

That was the intent.
This is also my way of bumping, since you reviewed the older cards JUST after I posted new ones. That tends to confuse people and they miss the new cards and reviews are super-slow...at least in my experience. |

Good for telepathy and in combination with still needed etc., but I’m not sure if I’d use it over other elven skirmish card drawing like city of the trees.

This is a lot better and more interesting than the one above. Maybe make it or limit the burden removal to certain sites?

I’m unconvinced. Seems too much like seclusion. Something different would be welcomed, though there’s certainly nothing wrong with this card.

I think I was reviewing the OLD cards just as you were posting the new ones.

Interesting. It’s certainly usable. Better than some of the other generic events depending on the situation.

Now this is super special awesome (by the way, if anyone knows where I got that from I’ll give them 10 GP). Elves need some burden removal. I would love to see this comboed with the new Gil-galad, for 4 burdens off in one site (with four copies, of course).

Yeah, a bit too much like seclusion. Maybe... give it a way to discard 2 conditions, depending on what you can spot, or a cost you pay, you know... |

Made a tweak to Good Hope that should help set it apart a bit. Good now? |

Alright then. I think ya’ll have earned it with your consistent reviewing...here’s Legolas!
He and the other cards below will be our last cards...I think. Starting next time, we’ll move on to the OTHER Elf culture in my sets. That’s right...the Elves of Mirkwood get a chunk of The Road Ahead. Thogh not NEARLY as big as it was in Lasting Alliances, the culture, both FP and Shadow, still have a role to play in this set.
Anyway, that’s next time. For THIS time, enjoy!
•Legolas, Thranduilion
Companion • Elf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Signet: Gandalf
Archer. Hunter 1.
Each time Legolas wins a skirmish, you may discard a card from hand to draw a card.
“Gandalf walked in front....The others were in file behind, and Legolas whose eyes were keen was the rearguard.”
•Bow of the Galadhrim, Great Bow of Lórien
Possession • Ranged Weapon
Strength +1
Bearer must be an Elf.
While at a forest or river site, bearer gains hunter 1.
If bearer is Legolas, each time he wins a fierce skirmish, you may heal him.
“‘My gift for you, Legolas, is a bow of the Galadhrim. Worthy of the skill of our woodland kin.’”
The White Arrows of Lorien, Carved of Mallorn Wood
Possession • Arrow
Bearer must be an Elf archer.
At the start of each archery phase, you may remove an token or discard this possession to exert a minion; bearer does not add to the fellowship archery total.
Lothlórien arrows fly true thanks to the feathers of the great swan. |

Cool, but I’d take his hunter down to 1, especially as he has the Gandalf signet.

I’d take out the original strength boost, and change the second ability to any skirmish and it would be even cooler! Hunter was a great idea, though.
