You guys have been wonderful in refining my cards, this topic has been my most fruitful DC venture yet! And it’s far from finishing! (If it ever will...)
 Machine of War 
Possession • Support Area
Machine. When you play this possession, you may spot another machine to add an token here.
Maneuver: Liberate a site you control to add an token to a machine.
 •Wood Splintered
Condition • Support Area
Each time you add an token to a machine, you may stack an card from hand here.
Regroup: Discard any number of cards stacked on this condition to take control of a site. The Free Peoples player may add threats equal to the number of cards discarded to prevent that. Discard this condition.
 Frightful Uruk
Minion • Uruk-hai
Strength: 11
Vitality: 2
Site Number: 5
Damage +1. When you play this minion, you may remove an token from a machine to make this minion’s twilight cost -1.
Ladders Rising
Event • Shadow
Spot Saruman or exert an Uruk-hai to play a machine from your draw deck.
Breaking Like Water on Rock
Event • Skirmish
Make an minion strength +1 for each machine you can spot, then the Free Peoples player may discard one of those machines. |

It helps that you make good cards that we want to review!

Nice, but a high cost for not so much benefit.
• Wood Splintered
Condition • Support Area
Each time you add an token to a machine, you may place an card from hand here.
Regroup: Discard any number of cards on this condition to take control of a site. The Free Peoples player may add threats equal to the number of cards discarded to prevent that. Discard this condition.
Very interesting. I like it.

Strength: 11

Site Number: 5

Well, I guess he’s a little frightful. Removing X tokens for -X would be funny, but almost certainly too good without reducing his stats.
Ladders Rising
Event • Shadow
Spot Saruman or exert an Uruk-hai to play a machine from your draw deck.
Excellent! That’s what the old machines need, especially with the classic beserkers!
Breaking Like Water on Rock
Event • Skirmish
Make an minion strength +1 for each machine you can spot, then discard one of those machines.
Yeah, but the breaking like water on a rock was bad for the uruks! Make it, ’Spot X machines to make an minion strength +X’, and then I’d give the choice which one is discarded to the Free Peoples player (which fits better with the title anyway).
Great stuff!

I think you can safely make it cost .

I think it should be "stack" instead of "place". But I love it otherwise.

"minion’s twilight cost -1" instead of "minion twilight cost -1", I think.

Nice and simple. Good.

Nice way of turning that quote against the FP.  I agree with Thranduil: let the FP choose which machine to discard. |

Devilry of Orthanc. Beyond that, it has no name that I know of.

I like it, but I have two issues.
1) The normal (decipher) way of doing the ’choose one’ abilities is a semi-colon ( ; ) between each of the options.
2) The get out clause might as well not be there for all the difference it makes - who’s going to have companions in their hand in the maneuver phase? Make it free peoples card, or 2 free peoples cards, or character, or simply get rid of it.

They’ve never done something like this before, and while I envisage it being very cool, it’s also very complicated. Plus, I wouldn’t make the ability choose one, I’d make it do both.
Blinding Blow
Event • Skirmish
Make an Uruk-hai strength +X, where X is the number of tokens you can spot (Limit +4).
Not good enough. Should say ’Uruk-hai’.
Skewered Assault
Event • Skirmish
Make an Uruk-hai strength +x, where X is the number of tokens you can spot (Limit +4).
I understand why you did this, but it’s too specific. In a bi-cultural deck you don’t want events that only boost one of the cultures you’re using (in general) so I think this should also say ’Uruk-hai’.
• Siege Master, Fearsome Overseer

Good stuff! I love the multicultural engine you’ve got going.

Decipher’s grammar isn’t that impressive, so I’ll keep the colon. I just changed it to Free Peoples card. |
