| I second what Dain said. I think the bow’s cost should be raised to 2. I also think the spear should ether have the bear exert to exert a chosen minion, or the shadow player should choose which minion to exert. Or you could up the cost of that as well and leave its text as it is. |

I’m not sure what the problem is Dain is referring to. Archer is better to have on a card like this than ’the fellowship archery is +1’ as you can only be an archer once. Seems balanced to me.
Spear of Mirkwood
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +1
Bearer must be a Elf.
Maneuver: Discard this possession to exert a minion.

SOLID! Very similar to my mirkwood possessions.

The spear doesnt need to exert bearer its not like rohan, elves cant keep getting them back (or have you made a card that does that AP?) so just discarding it would be ok at its current cost. |

Ah! Division in the ranks!  Unless I get any more conflicting reviews, though, I’ll leave them as they are.
 • Magic Was Strong
Condition • Support Area
Each time you play a Elf, add a token here.
Skirmish: Remove 3 tokens from here to cancel a skirmish involving a Elf.

| Their Magic was Strong looks great. Cool and blanced skirmish canceling. As for the swordsman, I would suggest that he does something more as well. Just look at Elven Warrior. Maybe something like exert him and discard a card from hand to draw a card or play a hand weapon on him to draw a card. |

Nice; powerful ability but playing elves isnt too OP to place the tokens. You have to be careful with reinforcing cards. If you make any that do that this would get too good.

He’s like all the useless guys theyve released in T&D no one will use! He’s better than them though cos playing a weapon on him is easy. Id make him a teeny bit better though somehow to tempt me to use him.

Hmmm.  Perhaps slap a hunter 1 on him. |
