Don’t think so SoP, I think adding and reinforcing are different things in rules terms.
They’re fun cards, but I have the same issue as SoP in terms of all the effects playing off only one card. Apart from anything, when reading the cards, I read ’Unspoiled Deliveries’ far too many times, and it sounded ridiculous! I would make all references to ’Unspoiled Deliveries’ say ’ condition’, then significantly raise the cost of Unspoiled Deliveries. I would say that was balanced, and then you’re not constricted so that your whole deck doesn’t fall apart when someone plays new-awakened.

Hmm, just like any minion strategy it has its risks. If you’re facing a fellowship with no condition discarding (Or very little even) then this deck rocks. If you happen to be facing condition discarding, then that’s what the minions are for. They don’t do anything special, and are only what their base stats say they are. It’s an all-out risk, just like decks that revolve around unbound companions. They could just as easily face a ring-bound hobbit deck and get screwed royally because of the one-sidedness of the shadow side. This is no different. Sure it’s not tier 1, but it’s a lot of fun if it works! (Well, for the shadow side that is) Anymore reviewers before I turn out a new batch? |

ALMOST underpowered. It might be a little better if you made it non-unique and cost or .

I agree with SoP about the title, and it should indeed be a response event. But awesome otherwise.

Yay! machines! I might consider making the site control a seperate ability in the regroup phase, and make it spot an Uruk and perhaps remove as many as 3 tokens.

I think would be better. But neat.

Yeah, like SoP hinted, it needs to be clear whether you add a threat or not if it’s an card. |

if it was uruk-hai could you add a threat and take it into hand? -SoP

SoP hit the nail on the head, if it was an card you could add a threat and take it into hand, whereareas if it wasn’t an card but still a shadow card you could still just add a threat. |
