Each time you play a  tracker, you may remove  to add a  token here.
Regroup: Remove X  tokens from here to exert a companion and play a  tracker whose twilight cost is (X). That tracker’s twilight cost is -2.
“...there was no hope that darkness and silence would keep their trail from discovery by the hunting packs.”
I’m not liking this one. Firstly, why isn’t it unique like the others (and if you do make it unique, I’d get rid of the removing )? Secondly, it’s a little weird to be quoting a minion’s twilight cost and then reducing it. I think I’d prefer a fixed number of tokens (3 at least) to play a tracker at a reduced cost (and exert a companion etc.).

I like this one.

Unless you have easy ways of reinforcing tokens, I would reduce the number of tokens to 2.

To play, spot 2  minions.
Each time a companion, ally, or  minion is killed and you cannot spot 3 tokens here, you may place a  token here.
Response: If a  minion wins a skirmish, discard this condition to make the Free Peoples player exert a companion for each token here.
“Already behind him among the goblin dead lay many men and many dwarves, and many a fair elf that should have lived yet long ages merrily in the wood. And as the valley widened his onset grew ever slower.”
I’d actually be tempted to take out the limit on this one, or at least raise it.

Response: If a  minion wins a skirmish, remove 2 tokens from here or discard this condition to exhaust or capture an unbound companion.
“‘It will not be long now before the goblins win the Gate, and we are all slaughtered or driven down and captured.’”
I might remove the discarding clause of the response and drop its cost to like all the others.

When you play this condition, place a  token here for each  minion you can spot.
Response: If a  minion wins a skirmish, spot X tokens here and discard this condition to play a  minion whose twilight cost is (X) from your discard pile. The Free Peoples player must immediately assign that minion to an unassigned companion.
“His numbers were too few. His flanks were unguarded. Soon the attackers were attacked, and they were forced into a great ring, facing every way, hemmed all about with goblins and wolves returning to the assault.”
There’s a strong case for changing that clause at the end to simply make the minion fierce.
All in all, most of your token cards are unique and expensive, and some of them have to discard themselves or a large number of tokens to use their abilities. Therefore, unless there are some ways for reinforcing tokens, the ability of that Warg I think is fine (but I still think it should be unique).

Drop cost to and make it -1 strength. This is borken in multiplayer. When its not your turn in a 4 player or more game your getting 3 tokens a turn.

Made some tweaks. Hope they’re good now.
tokens aren’t the only way to play Wargs cheaply...or out of the normal phase. Other cards like this allow it, too. Enjoy!
Summoned To the Assault
Event • Maneuver
Toil 1.
Spot a tracker to play a tracker from hand. That tracker’s twilight cost is -1 (or -2 if that tracker is a Warg).

Allllrighty then. I’m hoping to get back to Ol’ Balgy soon, but until then we’ll keep treading water with these Warg cards. Here’s another...enjoy!
The Hunt Is Up!
Event • Regroup
Search.
Spot 3 trackers to make the move limit -1 for this turn (to a minimum of 1).
