To play, spot an card and either a  or  card.
At the start of each turn, name a Free Peoples culture. Each unbound companion of the named culture is strength -1 and resistance -1 until the regroup phase.
“‘The shadow of Mordor lies on distant lands. Saruman has fallen under it. Rohan is beset....’”
I think its effect is crazily OP. Shadow cards rarely promote a multi-cultural fellowship. Surely making each companion not of the named culture would be better? Or maybe make the FP player choose the culture? I also think it might work better as an event, and I think that it should spot or exert an minion instead of just a card. Nice ideas though - it’s a real shame that Shadow rainbow was never made particularly viable.

Thats an invalid argument really as this card would create a new type of deck. All deck types dont exist until cards are made to create them. This would generate a whole new deck focus as its wickedly hard.
Besides how hard would it be to play isengard or one of the others and splash a free no spotting requirement condition or 2 in of the other culture to spot?

Thank god someone agrees with me. Sorry DI but its too hard. Like i said cut the strength reducer. The resistance lowerer makes it really good but not broken. |

My apologies for nothing new from me for a few days (and especially yesterday). I’ve been busy, but not overly so...more lazy than anything. 
Okay, I tweaked it so that playing now requires exerting an minion and either a or minion. However, keep in mind that the effects can be greatly reduced with this nifty new card from a couple months back:
 •Hold To Your Purpose 
Condition • Support Area
If Frodo is the Ring-bearer, each companion with the Frodo signet is Ring-bound.
“‘The Ring-bearer is setting out on the Quest of Mount Doom....May the blessings of Elves and Men and all Free Folk go with you.’”
Just something to keep in mind. There may be a little escalation with Lands Under Shadow, but there are counters in place, too.
For now, here’s another possibly "crazily OP" card. You tell me if it is or not. Enjoy!
 •Deceived
Condition • Support Area
Each time a  condition or event is played, you may spot 3 minions (or an Wizard) and remove to take an condition or event into hand from your draw deck.
“‘So Saruman guessed, and he had concealed his mind and deceived his messenger.’” |

Argh! Youre doing that again! Stop making everyone RB or ill continue to moan! Nothing wrong with the principle but i think it will make the gameplay too messy. Sorry.

Hmmm scarily good but specific. I actually think its ok. Nice.

Too late. People generally liked the idea when I first posted that card weeks ago, so it’s already in the set. Sorry, my friend, but it’s a done deal.
Thanks for the review! |

maybe add at the end of each turn add a threat or discard this condition.

I think this card is totally safe given it only works with Frodo signets. On the other hand, it would be exceedingly interesting to do something like what SoP suggested. And also, it still doesn’t change the fact that I think the ability of the last card is OP.

Wow, you quoted me. Now I just need to get into someones signature!

Why bother with Wizard? I think it should just be Saruman instead. And I’d also like some effect for non- cards, but obviously much less, because I for one would never use that card. Or, just a secondary discard ability for example, discard it in the Shadow phase to take into hand an card from your discard pile or something.

| I’d second Thran on his review, except I think it’s good with any wizard, no need to make it just Saruman. In fact, the title points straight to the Decieved Wizards... |

Good point.
Oh and Dain, you should also remove the except in the fellowship phase. How many fellowship phases are you going to be able spot 3 minions?
