I miss the typical pipes...Maybe heal Bilbo X times or remove X burdens where X is the number of pipes....I LIKE THE OLD PIPES!!!!.

Nice. Maybe wound a minion? Or just discard it.

Dáin’s DC Duos #51

While people are still chewing on my last Duo, here’s the last cards for today: something ELSE they can chew on...literally. Pipeweed! These are designed like the old-school pipeweeds were: low cost and a simple ability, mostly used for discarding via pipes to do other neat stuff. And they’re possession, like pipeweeds SHOULD be. Got that, Decipher?

Anyways, on to the cards. Enjoy!

Tobacco of the Shire
Possession • Support Area
Pipeweed.
“Then he felt for his pouch, and there was some tobacco in it, and that was something more.”

Hm...nice. Not extraordinary, but D needs to make cards like that. Instead of going all out, just make a simple card every once in a while. Geez

Old-school pipeweeds have a simple ability. When you play Longbottom Leaf, you are allowed to discard up to 2 cards from hand. When you play Old Toby, you are allowed to draw a card. So why would you ever use Tobacco of the Shire, which has NO ability? Simple: it costs , and those others cost . Might seem insignificant, but it saves on twilight when you want to throw out lots of pipeweed for use with your pipes!

Needs to be unique. Each time you play a pipeweed, remove four threats if this whole thing is strung out. Kinda broken for Merry, Rohirrim Squire. Especially if you come up with a way to play possessions during the skirmish phase. Strength 21 Merry is a lot easier.

On the other hand, here we have a pipeweed that’s MORE expensive than the old ones. Why? Because it basically gives another line of text to all other pipeweeds, including the new Rise of Saruman conditions. This is definately a card you’ll want around if you have a threat-adding culture, like Men.

Speaking of which, just for the heck of it, here’s a pipeweed I went and added after I closed out that culture. I may still do one for the culture too, but if I do I’ll save that for another time.

Nice. You do need to revisit and do some stuff for the ents. Ents are the best strategy out there.

This one’s much more in line with the old pipeweeds: cost of , simple "when you play, do X" ability. Nothing fancy, but very useful, especially with Gandalf (or Curunir) and his pipe. Combine this with Tobacco Jar and you’ve got a VERY nice boost for those Men now, too!

Hmm...I like the card, but are threats really -esque? I would say burdens but that could get out of hand with Tobacco of the Shire.

I feel that this is too similar to the older Mithril-coats, as it is merely an odd combination of the two. Perhaps change the skirmish ability to somehow prevent wounds to bearer...

It still seems a lot like the older Mithril Coats. I think it’d be neat if you did something new with it, using an ability like:

Response: If bearer is about to take a wound, add a burden to prevent it.

or

Skirmish: If bearer is skirmishing, exert bearer to prevent each opponent from using skirmish special abilities.

I dunno, I’d just like to see something new.

Hmm... I’d drop the limit and instead make it a Possession • Stone. My reasoning for this is that since you can play it during the archery phase, you can just drop the copy already on the Hobbit and then immediately play a 2nd one.

My idea. Add a token each time you play a pipeweed possession, then remove 2 tokens to remove a burden.

Nice. You do need to revisit and do some stuff for the ents. Ents are the best strategy out there.

Classic pipeweed. By the way, isn’t the flavor text a direct quote? If so, it needs to be offset with an additional ’ and ’.

Hmm... I’d increase the cost to 2; otherwise I’d add it to any Man deck even without pipeweeds, since it’s a cheap way to heal.
