Here’s The Board Is Set for Isengard...kinda. Enjoy!

1Disarming Words Isengard
Condition • Support Area
Spell.
Each time another Isengard spell is played and you cannot spot 3 tokens here, add an Isengard token here.
Response: If an event is played, exert Saruman and remove an Isengard token from here to cancel that event and place it on top of its owner’s draw deck.

I like it MUCH BETTER.

Fantastic! If only The Board is Set was like that!

Help. Neutral

I think I’ve wandered a bit in this culture, branching off in several directions and leaving a couple strategies too sparse. If anyone is willing, I’d greatly appreciate if you could take a look at the cards I’ve posted thus far and help me focus the last few cards around specific themes and shore them up. I don’t want Isengard to be so varied it’s okay at several things, but not really GOOD at anything in particular, know what I mean?

So, if you look through and get any ideas for where to go next, I’d be much oblidged. Thumbs Up

Make a card that takes a whole bunch of conditions Isengard is decent at and make you somewhat meet all of them to corrupt the RB. Like, Stopping to the Kill, Shapes Slowly Advancing, The Irresistible Shadow, Despair, etc.

Then you’ll be fine.

...huh? I understand corrupt-the-Ring-bearer conditions (Shapes Slowly Advancing is one of my favorite Shadow cards), but I don’t follow exactly what you’re recommending I do for Isengard.

I DO like the idea of a corruption condition for them (good call! GP), but I judt don’t understand what kind of text you’re recommending it have.

As you said, none of the strategies are quite tier 1 by themselves. But, if you combine them all together via an auto-corrupt card, then Isengard in general becomes united and all the strategies work together.

See Put Forth His Strength. Meet three condition halfway to corrupt the ring-bearer.

With Isengard, accomplish a few of the things Isengard is "decent" at, and then auto-corrupt. Voila.

Looking through your cards, there are a few things that strike me:

1) There are a few cards that use threats (eg. Palantir, Lurtz’s Bow) but no way of adding them.

2) There seem to be lots of subcultures, and very little unity or ’umph’. Some cards using Saruman as an engine to unite the possessiony strategy, the trackers, the orcs etc. would be great maybe by manipulating things they could or do have in common, for example tokens.

3) There are a lot of cards that only take effect against certain races or cultures. How about making cards that, for example, makes a companion a Wizard or that gives a card the Gandalf culture so you can exploit it better? Otherwise, I would never use any of those cards that I was referencing. You could do similar things to help your multi-culture shadow cards as well.

That’s about it, really. My main point being, it needs focus and substance to make this culture even better than it already is.

Okay, FINALLY back for (hopefully) regular updates again. And there was great rejoicing...or at least, great screaming. Rolling Eyes

Okay, here are two new cards, one of which addresses Thran’s first observation and one of which is made as per NBarden’s comments. Hope they look alright. It’s amazing how hard it is to get back into the swing of things after being out of it for a few days. Anyway, enjoy!

2One Gate, Strongly Guarded Isengard
Condition • Support Area
Each time the fellowship moves, spot 3 Isengard minions (or Saruman) to add 2 or a threat.
“‘I rode under the arch, and the gate closed silently behind me, and suddenly I was afraid, though I knew no reason for it.’”

2 Corrupts the Heart Isengard
Condition • Support Area
To play, exert 2 Isengard minions (or Saruman).
Each time an Isengard condition or artifact is played, you may add an Isengard token here.
Each time a burden is removed or an Isengard condition or artifact is discarded, remove an Isengard token from here.
At the start of your Shadow phase, you may spot 10 Isengard tokens here to corrupt the Ring-bearer. The Free Peoples player may add 3 burdens to prevent this and discard this condition.

I’d tone down Corrupts the Heart a bit... possibly raise the cost to 3, or add a spotting requirement. Thumbs Up
I had to put something here.

Nice. Can’t think of anything wrong apart from the title which is a little weird.

I agree with AP. I might make it exert 1 or 2 Isengard minions to play with the option of spotting Saruman. Nice card though!
