Oh no! I had my two favourites, Lem0nhead (Gollum would make a great follower, and everything seems well balanced here) and LH (I like the threat removal, and the transfer method is interesting) picked out, then I saw that I had to pick out my least favourites! Ack!
I’m afraid that my least favourites were EL (I really liked the concept of the card, but then the card didn’t really fit the concept - I felt that it should have affected the RB in some way) and WLC (a little bit complicated, and I get easily confused, just a personal preference, sorry). |
Trade With Me, I went to Middle Earth, and all I got was this stupid ring!

LH and AP. AP, you forgot to look at your card’s terrible combo potential with Saruman, Servant of Sauron. It’s pretty evil. LH, I just don’t think it would work completely. AFAIK...minion followers get transferred back at the end of the turn, so while I guess that card would hold a fellowship to single-moving, that’s all it would do. |

Strength: +1
Aid - Discard the top card of your draw deck.
When you transfer this, you may reveal the top card of the Free Peoples player’s draw deck. If it is a Free Peoples card, you may exert your minion (or spot Saruman) to exert a companion.
Large, black crows from Dunland, all the way from the Misty Mountains to as far as Fangorn Forest. Used by Saruman to gather information.
Nice, balanced, but relatively useless. Also, broken combo with Frenzy of Arrows.

 • Gollum, Slave to the Ring

Aid - Remove a threat. (At the start of the maneuver phase you may remove a threat to transfer this to a minion.)
Each companion skirmishing bearer is resistance -2.
Assignment: Exert bearer twice to assign it to the Ring-bearer. The free peoples player may add a burden to prevent that and assign bearer.
"He will never be rid of his need for it. He hates and loves the Ring, as he hates and loves himself."
Interesting. I like it. Perfect for corruption/resistance lowering decks. But, broken combo with Frenzy of Arrows.

 •Grima, Deceitful Snake

Aid - Remove a threat.
To play spot a Wizard.
Each time bearer wins a skirmish, you may transfer this to the losing companion.
Each time the fellowship moves, the free peoples player must add 2 burdens or wound bearer twice.
”’Your leechcraft ere long would have had me walking on all fours like a beast.’”
Designer’s notes: I decided to make it so that you would want to transfer it to a companion by winning the skirmish or else the minion could get hurt by the last ability.
Love it. But, there’s a broken combo with Frenzy of Arrows.

Site Number -1
Aid -
Each time this follower is transferred to a minion, except a  minion remove  . Each time bearer is assigned to a companion with resistance 4 or less add a burden. Skirmish : Exert bearer and return this follower to your support area to play a mount from your discard pile on your  minion.
To have one of the nine following you meant your death was a certain affair, the only question was how long it would take them to find and kill you.
Editors notes:
This card represents one of the nine just in case you couldn’t figure it out[/b]
Actually, nice minion. However, to easily splashable into any corruption deck. Also, broken combo with Frenzy of Arrows.

 *The Ring’s Influence

Resistance: -2
Aid -
Bearer must be an unbound companion.
While the Ring-bearer is wearing the One Ring, bearer has resistance 0.
While bearer has resistance 4 or less, bearer is strength -2.
While bearer has resistance 0, bearer is strength -2.
The Ring was like a weight around his neck. It took great effort even to lift his head.
Yuck. Auto resistance lowering, and a broken combo with Ulaire Cantea, Black Assassin, Isildur auto-kill, lowering a companion resistance to 0 automatically is bleah. Also, its not like a follower, its more like a condition. Also, broken combo with Frenzy of Arrows.

Strength -2
Resistance -2
Aid –  . To play, spot Saruman.
Bearer must be an unbound companion.
Each time you transfer this follower to a companion, you may exert Saruman twice to take an  card into hand from your draw deck (and discard a card at random from the Free Peoples player’s hand if you can spot a  Man).
”’He said he was Gríma, friend and counsellor of the king, and had been sent with important messages from Théoden to Saruman.’”
Decent, balanced, relatively nice special. Broken combo with Frenzy of Arrows.

Aid –  or remove a threat.
Each time you transfer this to an  minion, you may draw a card (or 2 cards if you can spot a Wizard minion).
Each companion skirmishing bearer is resistance -2.
Skirmish: Transfer this to your support area to discard a card borne by a companion skirmishing bearer.
“‘Spies of Saruman! The passage south is being watched.’”
NICE! Love it. The remove a threat aid doesn’t fit into the story, as a matter of fact, for it to fit better, you would add threats, but still nice. However, broken combo with Frenzy of Arrows.

Boring, useless, and pointless. Only reason I’d use him is with Frenzy of Arrows.

Unfortunately, all of these cards are broken, especially if you cram them all together at Isengard Ruined with Frenzy of Arrows. I’m feeling evil today. Let’s break a bunch of followers open. |

Dude, that’s pretty obvious. You can’t blame us for that. Blame AP. Oh, and Big D. |

Check out Lasting Alliances, The Road Ahead, and Ages of Middle-earth, three of my five dream card sets that make up Wars of the Ring. Oh, and I have a trade list now!
Also, if you're into DCs or RPGs (or even if you're not!), check out Realms of Middle-earth, the sequel to CG's "DC Adventure", Realms of the North! |
