This minion is twilight cost -2 for each wound on the Ring-bearer.
Skirmish: Heal the Ring-bearer to make a minion fierce until the regroup phase or strength +2.
Very, very interesting skirmish ability. I like that a lot. But the order seems kind of awkward...wouldn’t "make a minion strength +2 or fierce until the regroup phase" be better?

If an minion takes a wound (except during the skirmish phase) or is discarded by a Free Peoples card, exert the Ring-bearer.
I think it should cost  , but it might be okay. I dunno...see what someone else says and go with that.

While you can spot 2 wounds on the Ring-bearer, this minion is strength +3 and damage +1.
I like how it’s not just another "while the Ring-bearer is exhausted" dealio. Good stuff. However, keeping in mind Charging Uruk, shouldn’t he cost only  ? |

Yeah, I just wasn’t sure whether it’d be clear if he was strength +2 till regroup if it was worded that way. I think I know what to do...

I originally had him at 3, but I was afraid he might be too good. I’ll change him back.
Thanks for the review!

Ouch! But a very nice card. I’m just not sure if I wouldn’t rather play Siege Troop than this guy. But then again, that Regroup text makes up for it.

Heh, title reminds me of a certain  event...I like this one, too. Although I’d limit it to one per bearer.
Axe of Gorgoroth
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be an minion.
While you control 2 sites, bearer is strength +3.
Ouch! Comboed with War Tower, this might be incredibly huge...
Fires Sprang Up
Condition
To play, spot 2 engines. Plays on a site on the adventure path (limit 1 per site).
When the fellowship moves from this site, the Free Peoples player must exert 2 companions (or each companion if you can spot 6 companions).
Skirmish: If you control this site, discard this condition and remove to exert a companion.
Very nice! Although the Skirmish ability is a mite powerful. Why don’t you just drop it? |

Yeah, that works. If that ability was in any other phase...but it’s not, so it’s fine.

Yes. It’s about time engines be brought back. And this is a goodie. Maybe a little TOO good... might be better.

Yikes! Maybe a +2 boost would be better. A total of +5 seems a bit much.

A little complicated, but I like it. Good stuff. |

How about this for the ability instead:
Skirmish: Exert this minion to make an minion skirmishing a wounded companion strength +1 (or +2 if you can spot 4 wounded companions)
Thanks for the review!
