As: Both are good, but A1 is just a little more interesting.
Bs: Not too keen on B2, but B1 is just too good...and should have a class of "Cloak", in my opinion. So B2 wins by default.
Cs: C2. I’ve never been a big fan of all this hunter stuff, but I like the work that obviously went into this version of the Pale Blade.
Ds: I like D2, and my gut tells me to go with it, but I think the vitality and non-capped strength bonus are too much. And D1 is a nice little card, especially in comparison to other recent thrones, though like them I think it could do well from spotting a couple Nazgul to play.
Es: Again, not a big fan of hunter stuff, but the real thing that hurts Ring of Pride is that, while all other rings thus far cost and have the discard when reconciling text, this one costs and has no such text. Big no-no, IMO. So E1 takes the prize here.
Fs: There’s some neat stuff going on with F2, and F1 is a tiny bit weak, methinks. This was my toughest choice of all, but I’ve got to to go with the Ring of Intimidation, otherwise known as F1.
So, to review:
A1
B2
C2
D1
E1
F1
Sorry for the long comments, but I feel a compelling need to help people understand WHY I didn’t vote for them. *shrug* It’s how I’m built, I guess. |

A1 - This was a hard decision for me to make as both were good cards and I struggled to see how this card would be used. In the end, I decided it was more balanced.
B2 - Both are extremely broken. I went with better format.
D2 - Another hard decision. Both cards are extremely good. I’m going to go with the second because I love that skirmish action.
E2 - I like how it works, giving the Nazgul the new keywords.
F1 - Just the kind of card the Nazgul need. |
