Dáin’s DC Duos #135

More skirmishing cards for the early Gondorians. But this time, it shows their close ties to their Last Alliance allies: the Elves. Enjoy!

Muster of the Númenóreans
Event • Skirmish
Make a companion strength +2 (and exert a minion if you can spot an Elf companion).
“...the Númenóreans were strong and tall, and terrible in their wrath.”
Cool.

United
Condition • Support Area
Tale. For each and character you exert when playing this, its twilight cost is -2.
If an Elf is about to take a wound that would kill him or her, exert a Man companion to prevent that wound.
“...they perceived that Sauron was too strong and would overcome all his enemies one by one, if they did not unite against him.”
Nice.

I wanted this to have toil, as many of these powerful cards have had, but I wanted it to work for Elves, too. I was racking my brain about how to make that work without changing the rules of the game, and then it hi me: why not just write out what toil allows, and throw Elves in there along with Men? So the end result is wordy, but it also works like a charm.

The Elves have virtual copies of both of these cards, by the way (which we’ll get to another time), so there could be some serious / partnership going on.

By the way, we are simply FLYING through these cards since I got back. There’s only a couple more Duos to go!

Slightly powerful. Maybe if he wins a skrimish exert a companion. But I would still use Dagger Strike.

I would just give it toil. I wouldn’t have the elves in there.

it’s a little specific. it would be played more if the text was something like each time Turin kills a minion, add a threat or discard a card from hand to heal turin.
