All I can say is SWEET! Awesome card for that minion stacking deck.

Obviously meant to pair with Wildman’s Oath, and makes that a better card (though still a weird "possession"). I give this a 4.

Check out Lasting Alliances, The Road Ahead, and Ages of Middle-earth, three of my five dream card sets that make up Wars of the Ring. Oh, and I have a trade list now!

Also, if you're into DCs or RPGs (or even if you're not!), check out Realms of Middle-earth, the sequel to CG's "DC Adventure", Realms of the North!

yeah works great with wildmans oath. and if you are winning, and don’t have any guys stacked on wild mans oath, you discard the oath to make your minion damage +! Great card here.

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. Razz

I’m not sure what you guys mean about this card working so well with Wildman’s Oath specifically -- it works just as well with Ceremonial Armor. (Remember you can’t discard one card to pay two separate costs, so if you want the damage bonus you can’t also have strength +2 from the Oath.)

Back to In the Wild Men’s Wake:
This card seems very awkward to me. The strength bonus is potentially great but also unreliable, especially with possession-removal cards like the new Narsil, Forged by Telchar around. The damage bonus is powerful, but it’s also in conflict with everything else -- you won’t always want to discard one of those crucial support-area possessions, and you’ll almost never want to discard a possession with a ton of Men minions stacked on it!

That said, I do think the potential benefits of having this card at the right moment are strong enough that it will see a lot of play. And at site 9, the conflicts I mentioned above don’t matter, and you can really go nuts. Very Happy

This is a pretty amazing card, I think. The bonuses are potentially pretty nice, I mean-1 twilight for a strength 4, strength 5 pump? Nice. I like it.
