Reword the first sentence thus: "While this minion is not at a marsh, discard it." This ensures that it can’t exist at a non-marsh, just like in FOTR block. He’s a mighty powerful minion for only , though. or , perhaps? I love his ability-kinda like threat overwhelming!
Do Not Disturb the Water
Event • Maneuver
Spot 3 tentacles to add a threat for each companion.
Ouch! You might want to raise the cost a little. War Towers spots one minion to add a threat, and then an extra one for each companion over four, and it doesn’t seem very hard to be able to play three tentacles.
Driven
Event • Shadow

Nice...although perhaps increase the cost? And up the spotting requirement...perhaps "if you cannot spot three tentacles..."

Good card! Again, rephrase that first sentence like I advised above. You wouldn’t want the fellowship to be facing tentacles if they doubled into a plains, would you?

Yeah, I sound like a broken record...but rephrase that sentence. I like the Huge Tentacle feel to this one.

Hmm...very powerful...maybe too so? Where can you get a Strength 4-6 pump for free for minions?

Rephrase the sentence...wow, I sound so repetitive... I like the "vengeful tentacle" thing going on with the response action.

Eesh, drop the regroup action. That makes this card too powerful. You can just keep playing them on the next sites.

Fixed the to play text. Raised twilight cost to 5.
Much better. I like it.
Do Not Disturb the Water
Event • Maneuver
Spot 3 tentacles to add a threat for each companion. Until the regroup phase, each time a creature is killed, remove a threat.

When I wrote this card initially, I wanted it to have the feel of immediate danger. I added another line of text, which might fit oddly with the card, but it accomplishes what I was going for.
That’s an excellent balance.

Made it spot 3 creatures.

Changed nothing.

Gaping Maw
Event • Response

Changed nothing. Since a tentacle deck could be completely destroyed because of a double move, they should be seriously lethal when they’re out.

Forgot to mention that this guy is a revised form of the Huge Tentacle.

Horde of Tentacles
Event • Skirmish
Spot X tentacles to make a tentacle strength +X.

I didn’t change anything here, because a competent fellowship player will be able to cut down the number of tentacles to a manageable size. This pump would usually fetch only so much strength, I think.
Okay, I see your point. After all, Massing Strength can get really huge, too.

Response: If this minion loses a skirmish, discard it to play a tentacle from your discard pile; it is damage +1 and fierce until the regroup phase.

To be honest, this was the first card I wrote for this batch, and looking back it’s my least favorite. That response action I had didn’t fit with the style of the others. Made up a new one, that (I think) personifies it better as a slithery, wily tentacle.
Now that is an awesome action.

Shadow: Spot 2 cards to transfer this from your support area to a site. That site gains marsh.

Didn’t really think this one through, the first time around. I had the regroup action there so the shadow player could keep recycling it to different sites. In hindsight, I don’t think that’s very necessary. Four of these plus four of Driven should be enough for the deck to work. Opinions?
Yeah, that’s better. You don’t need to keep transferring it around.

Thanks for the reviews!

In my last segment, I proposed that the Creature race be unable to bear possessions. In that spirit, allow me to bring the once-loved Wargs into the current format.

These wargs are all about surprises and ferocity. They can be absolute killers once they get out, and they can leap at the fellowship from many different angles (by playing in different phases and from different places).

The cost? Well, the wargs have to "eat" their riders. Or, you could look at it as the rider hopping on the warg and becoming "one" minion.

Warg. Fierce.
At the start of the maneuver phase, the archery phase, or the assignment phase, you may discard a warg-rider to play this minion from your discard pile.
Very interesting. And sneaky! So the longer the warg-riders stick around, the healthier the wargs are when they come into action!

A nice Toil-ish gametext. Although increase his twilight cost, since he’s got Hunter 3.

If a warg wins a skirmish, make it fierce until the regroup phase.
Ouch! Uruk-Hai Rampage requires the removal of twilight...maybe give this event a cost?

Each time your warg-rider would be discarded, you may return it to your hand instead.

Now we’re getting a bit powerful...that first bit of gametext requires, perhaps, a twilight cost?

Reword these. The Shadow ability isn’t useful at all. Why discard a warg-rider to play Sharku’s Warg when you can play Sharku’s Warg without discarding the Warg-rider? The Maneuver ability should go like this: "Discard a warg-rider to play Sharku’s Warg from your discard pile. It is strength +3 until the start of the regroup phase."

This might of ended up too complicated to work. What to do you think?
