Dáin’s DC Duos #144

I figured that last one would be quick, so I’m all prepared with more cards!

Here’s a couple tales that provide very direct links between Elves and Men. Enjoy!

•Very Mighty Was That Host
Condition • Support Area
Tale. To play, spot an companion.
Each time an Elf wins a skirmish, you may exert that Elf to heal a Man.
Each time a Man wins a skirmish, you may exert that Man to heal an Elf.
“And they made a league, the Last Alliance, and marched into Middle-earth gathering great force of Elves and Men.”
MAYBE you could add a cost of adding each time, like Shoulder to Shoulder. But with the increased twilight cost and uniqueness, I doubt you’d have to.

This one should make SoP happy, as it has "vice-versa" effects. My question: is it too cheap?

Victory Was Near
Event • Response
Tale. To play, spot an Elf.
If your Elf or Man kills a minion, make a minion lose all game text (except card type and race) and be unable to gain game text until the regroup phase.
“‘But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of Men and Elves marched against the armies of Mordor, and on the slopes of Mount Doom they fought for the freedom of Middle-Earth.’”
Nice card! I like.

Dáin’s DC Duos #145

Today’s cards really have nothing to do with each other, but I have to post them sometime, right? Ah well. They’re both kinda nifty in their own right. Enjoy!

maybe if you can spot a gondor and elven tale. make it unique.

I’ve flipped through it while standing around in Barnes & Noble, but I’ve never purchased it. Looked pretty interesting, I just didn’t have any cash at the time.
