Variag. Captain. Hunter 2.
Shadow: When you play this minion you may
discard a card from the top of your opponent’s
draw deck.

So this is the Variag strategy. A little NPE, but as long as you don’t give them much else, I guess its not broken. Frodo, Courteous Halfling shuts it all down.

minion add a token here (or add two tokens if that minion is a Variag).
Remove X tokens from this card to discard
X cards from the top of your opponent’s draw deck (limit 3).

Needs a phase. Make it limit: 5 and discard this condition.

Shadow: Play X Variags to make this minion
Strength +X. Regroup: Your opponent must discard
3 cards from hand for each card in your opponent’s dead pile.

His dead pile would work. Not going to trigger that often, because most players have played all their cards. Make it from top of deck.

Reviews and Critisiscm Welcome -GT

The Variags lack the stopping power of other cultures, and would HAVE to be run with a different strategy, because all they do is discard. I would like to see a card that gives the Variags instant victory if your opponent decks out.

Idea on Variag Scout. Instead of putting "this minion" put each time Variag Scout wins a skirmish, so that you can if you can get 4 out at a time and they all win skirmishes, you can have some massive discarding.

Now for some Mirkwood elves... ...I might do some Variags tomorrow.
