Ouch. That ability could actually hurt the guy...or help, depending on the deck...maybe takes no more than one wound per phase.

2 That One Counts as Mine! Dwarven
Event
Skirmish: Exert a Dwarf and discard a possession borne by that Dwarf to make a different companion defender +1.
U14

Another, not a different. Underpowered, maybe exert or discard a posession, and cut the twilight cost.

1 A Dwarf Dare Not Dwarven
Condition
Bearer must be Gimli.
While you can spot an Elven token, Gimli cannot be exerted by a Shadow card.
R15

Sounds like Heay Axe only cheaper and with a less cool special. I recomend giving it some cool special, or at least a damage bonus, maybe +2. And change the title.

0 Hatred of the Orcs Dwarven
Event • Skirmish
Make a Dwarf companion skirmishing a Moria, Sauron, or Orc minion strength +2.
C17

Why would I use this over Axe Strike? Or Flurry of Blows...

1 Dwarven Scout Dwarven
Companion • Dwarf
Strength: 5
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Hunter 1.
To play, spot a Dwarf.
C18

Rule number one. Your cards cannot automatically shut out another card. Dwarf Guard and Dwarven Warrior would never be used if this released...

Okay, like NBarden, I have some problems with these. Let’s see if I can come up with some suggestions for ya.

C16

I think you can reduce the cost to 1, the strength bonus to +2, and then have an easy way to get another +1 strength. Maybe even something simple like hunter. For example:

1 Iron Axe Dwarven
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2.
Bearer must be a Dwarf.
Bearer gains hunter 1 (or hunter 2 if at a mountain or underground site).

That mountain/underground stuff is totally optional. Heck, the whole suggestion is optional. But it would make it stand out more among existing Dwarven hand weapons.

Yeah, this could use some work; like NB said, there are several events that would completely overshadow this. The only thing I really see going for it is that it costs nothing, but then even cards like Axe Strike, Best Company, Battle Tested, and Sharp Defense make it all but useless. How about this:

0 Hatred of the Orcs Dwarven
Event • Skirmish
Make a Dwarf companion skirmishing an Orc Moria, Sauron, or Orc minion strength +2 (or strength +4 is that minion is an Orc).

I think that still captures the intent of your card and still manages to stand out nicely among the other similar Dwarven events.

Yeah, a couple generic Dwarven companions stink, but they’re there, and we can’t completely ignore them...or overshadow them.

I’d recommend something like this:

2 Dwarven Scout Dwarven
Companion • Dwarf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 6
Hunter 1.

Now he might see use. He doesn’t overshadow Dwarf Guard since he costs more, and he doesn’t overshadow Dwarven Warrior because this guy can get more strength than the Warrior (and be spotted as a hunter, of course). If you want, you can throw the "to play, spot a Dwarf" text back in, but I don’t think he needs it, personally. Up to you; it doesn’t hurt to have it.

Hope that helps. I don’t like rewriting people’s cards, but in this case, they need some tweaking to stand out.

its just a worse hand axe. how about discard this possession and add a threat to make the fellowship archery total +2, or you could make it to exert a minion.

4 • My Cousin, Balin Dwarven
Condition • Support Area
Toil 1.
To play, spot 2 Dwarven companions.
Each time a card is discarded by a Shadow player, add a token here.
Gimli is strength +1 for each Dwarven token on this condition (limit +4).

make it limit 2-3 IMO

2 • Seekers of Mithril Dwarven
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot a wounded Dwarf.
Each time a Dwarf takes a wound in a skirmish, you may discard a card from hand to take a Dwarven possession from your discard pile into hand.

works for me

2 • Gimli’s Battle Axe, Bane of Orcs Dwarven
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2. Bearer must be Gimli. He gains hunter 1.
Each unwounded Orc or Uruk-hai skirmishing Gimli is strength -1.

I like it but one Q. Is hunter stackable? I can’t quite remember.

Event • Fellowship
Exert a Dwarf and add a threat to play the next site (replacing an opponent’s site if necessary).

it needs • Assignment after Event.

Maneuver: Add 2 to draw a card. (limit 2)

I tweaked Gloin’s text as you recommended. I will begin making the Elven cards within a couple of days, maybe less.
