Mmm...I don’t think cards really use titles for game text, unless it’s to identify identical cards. But an interesting idea.

Muster.
At the start of each fellowship phase, you may discard a companion or follower from hand to draw 3 cards.
R2 R 21
Ahh...very interesting, although you can probably drop the muster, seeing as you’re already getting plenty of cycling with his ability.

Thanks for the reviews guys. I had trouble on those last two cards. They were difficult to get right.

Anyways, here are the first two cards of 2007!

Very interesting, but say "to prevent any minions from being assigned", otherwise it’s just "pick a minion" that doesn’t get assigned...or was that your intention? If so, reword it like this: "Exert bearer and spot a minion to prevent that minion from being..." But if it’s the former, it’s overpowered, you need a two-exert.

Yah, this is very powerful, you should require it to stack a card there. That would tone it down.

Ok, editied the cards around. I’m going to keep the Sting in the culture, becuase Gandalf technically gave Sting to Bilbo.

For that card though I changed the Maneuver action. If it’s still overpowered let me know.

Now! For the cards *I’ve* been waiting for.

Should be "take a possession into hand..." A very nice card, IMO.

Good, interesting possession.

You need something to transfer this possession back to the support area at the start of the regroup phase, unless you want it to be sent to the discard pile after the Freeps player reconciles. It should also probably be a condition, as I can’t see it working storywise as a possession. Maybe also up the twilight cost, considering its potential?

CG, here’s my ’in’ on The Precious.

I made is a possession becuase I felt like it...guess it works as a condition as well. *shrugs*

The twilight cost is 0 since it is unique. It’s a one time punch and it’s not like an event where you can use multiple ones.

Also, I intended it to be discarded at the end of the turn... Man...otherwise it would be a beast with Gollum, Stinker. Anyways, here are more...
Okay, then, that makes sense. You don’t have to increase the twilight, then, since it’s a one-shot.
•Aragorn, Bearer of the Past
Companion • Man
Strength: 8
Vitality: 4
Ringed Resistance: 5
While Aragorn is the Ring-bearer, at the start of each skirmish involving him make a minion he is skirmishing damage +1 until the regroup phase or wound an unwounded companion.
Aragorn is resistance +1 for each threat you can spot.
R2 R+ 29
I would simplify his drawback to "at the start of each skirmish...wound an unwounded companion twice or add X burdens". And I like the resistance boost.
Curse of Old
Condition • Support Area
At the start of each turn, wound each Wraith.
Regroup: Exert Aragorn three times and discard this condition to heal each Wraith twice.
R2 R 30
Hmm...I can’t really see any use for this, since you don’t really want to heal wraiths and Swept Away pretty much keeps them safe.
•Elendil, Lord of Gondor
Companion • Man
Strength: 8
Vitality: 5
Resistance: 6
Defender +1. To play, spot 2 Men.
Each time Elendil wins a skirmish you may make another Man damage +X until the regroup phase where X is the current region number.
R2 R+ 31
Nice.
