Event • Regroup
Spot an  minion and an  engine to exert a companion once (or twice if you can spot a card in the dead pile).
Balanced and useful; good job!
 Burning City
Event • Skirmish
Make an  minion strength +2. If you control a site, you may also remove  to make that minion fierce, damage +1, or intimidating.
Interesting. Nice card!

For those who haven’t seen it yet:
Intimidating
(During skirmishes involving this character, the opponent may not use skirmish special abilities.
Thanks; I was one of the ones who hadn’t.

 Troll Laborer
Minion • Troll
Strength: 15
Vitality: 4
Site Number: 4
Damage +1.
This minion is twilight cost -1 for each  engine you can spot.
Shadow: Exert this minion twice and discard an  engine from hand to take an  card into hand from your discard pile.
Overpowered! Imagine how deadly this would be Bound To Its Fate and Isengard Underling! Also, if you have a few engines, his cost plummets; plus, he’s not even unique! I’d change it to:
• Troll Laborer
Minion • Troll
Strength: 15
Vitality: 4
Site Number: 4
Damage +1.
While you can spot an engine, this minion is twilight cost -1.
Shadow: Exert this minion twice and discard an minion to add a burden. |
I had to put something here. |

I have yet to see an corruption deck that packs engines, especially since none of the engines I’ve made benefit corruption decks.
After all, if you’re going to use a bunch of engines in your corruption deck, you might as well get something in return, since the engines won’t be helping you.
Thanks for the review, but until you can convince me otherwise I’m keeping the Troll the same (although I will make him unique).

Neato. Maybe make him unique to avoid that getting out of hand. If you do that, though, raise his stats and cost a little bit. Maybe like 10/3, or cost or something.

Good stuff. Excellent engine AND Orc support. Nice card...good enough for a .

Maybe, just maybe, require spotting an minion and another engine instead. Hey, I have to come up with SOMETHING to say other than "good card" every time.
Seriously, though: good batch. I like ’em all. |

Grond is the only engine that costs more than 1, so there isn’t much reason for him to be unique. I like him the way he is.

That’d be fine by me - I was just a bit afraid of it being too powerful, so I added a heavy cost for playing it.
Thanks!

Very creative! Good card!

I’d make it an artifact, but that’s just my preference. Good cards! |

I like him a lot. Well-balanced, and useable in many fellowships. Good card.

I know I’ve said it before, but I like conditions that give you a tough choice: keep it and its nice benefit, or go for the short-term boost? This is a good one.

Yeah, can you believe there’s no card with that title already?
I made a card very much like this in my FotR set. Needless to say, I like it.

Perhaps make it culture and able to be borne by Gandalf or a unique Elf. And limit 1 or 2 per bearer or something. I like it, though.
No big rush, but when and if you have a chance, could you review my latest couple Duos? Only SoP seems to be checking them lately.... (Nothing against you, SoP. ) |

Hm...I would just as well play Gandalf RB. Although maybe this card would be better in a non- deck.
