I’d add some sort of cost to the site upping. Like NBarden said, that’s just a little too easy. Exert, maybe?

Response: If bearer exerts to play a  event (except during the maneuver phase), you may heal him or her (limit once per turn).
Response: If bearer is about to take a wound, add  and discard this possession to prevent that wound.

Just teasing you, my friend.  I know I can always count on your reviews.
Oh, and while you’re yelling at your brother, tell him he needs to enter Realms of Middle-earth. I hear he’s quite the RPGer.
where’d you hear that? he was OK back in the day. He is WAY to busy now though...he barely even gets on... |

I honestly think it was perfect the way it was before - Ithilien Blade is basically just a broken card, so there’s no reason to make all these provisions around it. Plus, the requirements are so specific I really don’t think it matters. But, ambush twilight is already added before the minion is skirmishing, so the first ability doesn’t seem to do anything.

I think you should make the limit once per phase so it will be like a Legolas’ Bow, and it’s fine.

I would make it +1 instead.

Its good enough without the last sentence which i think makes it broken. 4 of these out is just so wrong, might as well bring back madril!

I combined the suggestions of Drake, Thran, and AP for Ithilien Cloak and changed it significantly. How is it now, boys?
Thanks for all the reviews. There was a period there where I was lucky to get more than two, and while those reviewers have remained faithful, some old ones have returned and tripled my normal review output. I think it makes the cards that much better to have so many different opinions! Thanks a lot, guys...I really appreciate it.
Now, shifting gears back to the knights as we introduce some of their possessions. This might be it for them in this set, but like knights in general, they will get a lot more help in the following set, The End Of All Things. Enjoy!
Knight’s Blade
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be a Man.
Each minion skirmishing bearer is strength -1 for each fortification borne by that minion.
Skirmish: If bearer is a knight, add to make him or her damage +1. Limit once per skirmish.
Gondorian swords are heavy and powerful, and while very simple, are remarkably effective in the hands of Gondor’s stout defenders.
I know I’ve squeezed a lot into one non-unique weapon, but knights could really use a weapon like this. Most hand weapons are catered towards rangers, anyway. To help offset the abilities, I made this the first non-unique hand weapon to cost more than .
Gondorian Armor
Possession • Armor
Bearer must be a knight.
Each minion skirmishing bearer is strength -1.
Bearer may take no more than 1 wound per phase.
Though hastily constructed as the war increasingly engulfed Gondor, the armor worn by many of their soldiers helped keep the defenders standing against the onslaught.
A rehash and upgrade of one of my (now-rotated) favorites: good old-fashioned Armor. Again, with the added text, I decided that limiting it to knights and raising the "normal" cost to would keep it balanced. Agreed, or not? |

Cool. I might say If bearer is a knight, at the start of each skirmish involving bearer add to make bearer damage +1, it seems too easy to get a non unique sword damage +1 plus an ability.

I think in the current meta this card is too good. Armor from fotr was awesome and this would make gondor decks near invincible. Look lord of gondor with armor. he took the balrog on twice. With his youd have huge beefy knights laffing at sauron if they lost. I wouldnt go back to only takes 1 wound during each skirmish but thats me.

I’d change "each" to "per" phase and add a resistance bonus.  |

Thanks, guys. Tweaked the blade a bit...and also, how’s the new and (hopefully) improved Ithilien Cloak? |
