I think I’ve hyped him enough...here’s THE Balrog!  Enjoy!
  •The Balrog, Demon of the Ancient World 
Minion • Balrog
Strength: 17
Vitality: 5
Site: 5
Damage +1. Fierce.
While at an underground site, The Balrog gains hunter 1.
Maneuver: Exert The Balrog twice to play a artifact on it from your draw deck (or exert it three times to play a artifact on it from your discard pile).
“‘It was a Balrog of Morgoth, of all elf-banes the most deadly, save the One who sits in the Dark Tower.’”
 •The Balrog, Nameless Terror
Minion • Balrog
Strength: 13
Vitality: 5
Site: 5
Lurker. Enduring. Damage +1.
The Balrog may not be exerted by Shadow cards.
While at a battleground or underground site, The Balrog is fierce and each Orc is strength +1.
Response: If an event is played (except during the regroup phase), heal The Balrog twice to cancel that event.
“‘It was both a shadow and a flame, strong and terrible.’”
We’ll be on the "theme" of the Balrog for a while still...we’ve got at least a dozen Balrog-related cards to get through still.  |

I would drop hunter 1.

Enduring needs to be between Damage +1 and Fierce, but otherwise, he looks great! |

Just one review?  I thought Ol’ Balgy would generate a LITTLE more interest.... |

Bah, who cares about those Wizard-battling, elf-slaying fire demons?
Well, I do! So here’s a review!
P.S. That rhymed.

A Hunter Balrog? That’s nice. And... it’s my favorite Balrog ever. Just for that avility. I think it needs to be twice from discard, three from deck on those exertions, but that’s just me. Usually, it’s harder to play cards from your deck than from your discard pile.

Interesting... an enduring Balrog! That’s awesome. |

I want this guy to be enduring! Like him a lot, but is there any particular reason why you’ve changed the Balrog’s site number? Also, I might drop the hunter or damage bonus, or make one of them conditional to underground sites.

This guy rocks, but for his Orc ability, I want him to be a lurker, maybe instead of being fierce? Also, I want him to be better than normal at underground sites.

Wow awesome, i like that. Shame theres no way to wound him apart from archery.

Dain can you do me a huge favour and refrain from doing anything beyond possessions and artfifacts for the Rog or its gonna mess up my DC Contest forthcoming rounds! Please? Hiatus? Just until its over?

Hmmm. Well as it turns out, there IS one subculture I completely forgot about until a couple days ago, so I COULD switch to them for a little while, but I’d be loathe to switch gears like that....
I’m out most of the day today, but we’ll talk about it soon. Send me a PM and let me know why it would screw up the contest, and we’ll see. Okay? 
In the meantime, I’ve tweaked both versions of Ol’ Balgy according to suggestions. Let me know what you think.
And here’s The Balrog’s stuff, which, of course, work especially well with Demon of the Ancient World. Enjoy!
•The Balrog’s Sword, Stabbing Tongue of Fire
Artifact • Hand Weapon
Strength +3
Bearer must be The Balrog.
This weapon may be borne in addition to 1 other hand weapon and may be played any time you could play a skirmish event.
At the start of each skirmish involving The Balrog, you may remove a burden or discard this weapon to wound each companion in that skirmish.
“From out of the shadow a red sword leaped flaming.”
•Whip of Many Thongs, Shrouded in Fire
Artifact • Hand Weapon
Bearer must be The Balrog.
It is fierce and gains hunter 1.
When this weapon is played or discarded, you may exert a companion (except for the Ring-bearer).
“With a bound the Balrog leaped full upon the bridge. Its whip whirled and hissed.”
Pair this with Demon of the Ancient World’s ability to play during the maneuver phase for some real fun. |

Methinks the second one needs to be now. Good stuff, though.

Unbelievably solid (though I’d probably take out the removing a burden clasue), as long as you realise that that lore text was used on the countdown collection version of the balrog’s sword (I know that because I used it in lem0n’s DC contest!)

Great, but I think fierce as well as all that other stuff is a bit much!
