While you can spot 3 minions, Free Peoples cards cannot add, remove, or spot threats.
That’s a nifty idea: completely take away threat use from the FP player, and limit it to Shadow only. Me likey.
I have a slight concern he could be a little too good with a perma-damage +1 also, but I think his low strength helps offset that.

While you cannot spot any other minions, skip the maneuver phase and the archery phase.
I was going to say to make him unique, but with his text I guess there’s really no reason to do that. I mean, if you have two out, you’re eliminating his nice ability and just going for brute strength.
Anyways, I think it’s pretty well balanced. The fact that it must spot an card but the easy method, a cheap minion, negates his text makes him almost a little too expensive. However, since even without his ability he’s a wrecking machine, I think it all balances out.
Nutshell: nice card.  |

Extremely cool/weird. This could make into a lot of decks, not just Uruk ones, hurts gimli, bearer of grudges sooooooooooo much.

[color=red]interesting, not as though he’d be harmed by archery though. |

| Whoa...good point about Uruk Scaler. And that might be waaaay too powerful against Gimli, Bearer of Grudges...forcing the Freeps to burden him?? Then again, he can be incredibly damage pumped... |

| Well, you have to get a minion to actually skirmish Gimli, and he only works in a dedicated deck since he needs to spot 3 minions. |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

Well, keep in mind that you would have to keep Symbelmyne until the next turn to use it.
And since I’m bored:
 •Saruman, Locked in his Tower 
Minion • Wizard
Strength: 8
Vitality: 4
Site Number: 4
Saruman may not take wounds during the archery phase and may not be assigned to a skirmish.
When you play Saruman, you may add a threat for each companion over 5.
Shadow or Regroup: Remove 2 threats to exert a companion or reveal the Free People player’s hand. |

I’m not really a fan of the subtitle, as it’s kind of...abnormal compared to old ones. I don’t know though. I do think you could lessen his Shadow text to 2 threats and make it Shadow or Regroup. |
