Dáin’s DC Duos #225

I’m headed out the door soon (possibly for the evening), but here’s a couple weapons to tide you over until I get back to posting. Enjoy!

Crude Blade
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be an or minion.
You may play this possession any time you could play a skirmish event.
The simplicity of the weapons carried by Sauron’s orkish armies made them no less deadly.
Neat. This could really do some damage if played right.

Orkish Bow
Possession • Ranged Weapon
Bearer must be an Orc.
Archery: Exert bearer and spot 2 other or minions to make bearer an archer until the regroup phase.
“...they laid siege to it for seven years, and suffered grievous loss by fire and by the darts and bolts of the Enemy....”
Nice card for . I don’t like the idea of getting any more archery, but I guess it can’t be helped, huh? Silly Decipher. Good card, though.

Okay, cut the cost of each weapon to . Anybody else?

Poisoned Arrows
Possession • Arrow
Bearer must be an Orc archer.
Archery: Discard this possession to make the minion archery total +2.
Regroup: Discard this possession and exert bearer to wound a companion.
The Orcs of the Misty Mountains often tipped their crude arrows with various poisons to ensure a quick kill. Such was the case with the first victim of the One Ring’s seduction.

•Many Sorties
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot 2 or minions.
Each time you play an Orc or a companion is killed, add an token here.
Archery: Discard this condition to make the minion archery +1 for every 2 tokens here (limit +3).
Skirmish: Discard this condition to make an Orc strength +1 for each token here (limit +.
“There in the valley of Gorgoroth Anárion son of Elendil was slain, and many others.”

Here’s some more boosting for archery. Hopefully, these are a more balanced way of going about it than Decipher’s recent attempts. :rolleyes" Enjoy!

I’m not happy about this card. Obviously, it’s ten times more balanced than gothmog and frenzy of arrows, but I think it’s very dangerous. Maybe have on the card that they don’t add to the minion archery total until the regroup phase, or reduce the potency of the first ability. This card is screaming to be abused.

Looks good! Though maybe make it an archer, or orc archer, if it matters.

Me likes this one

for sucessfully making better cards than D.

Heheh. Thanks, but that’s not very hard to do these days.

Dáin’s DC Duos #227

Well, we’re quickly winding down with Orcs, but we’re not done just yet. Here’s a couple painful skirmish events. Enjoy!

Reckless Ferocity
Event • Skirmish
Add X wounds to your Orcs to make the Free Peoples player add X wounds to companions.
“Men were falling; for some of the greater Orcs leaped up, two at a time, and dead or alive with their weight bore down a Dúnadan, so that other strong claws could drag him out and slay him.”

I’d rephrase it ’place X wounds on...’ Fantastically funny!

A Shadow of Foreboding
Event • Skirmish
Cancel a fierce skirmish involving an Orc or minion to add a burden.
“‘And we bear burdens of worth beyond all reckoning.’”
