May want to stack any pipeweed, seeing the conditions from RoS coming out.

I know that no tales exist yet, and only a handful of tales, but fear not: Lasting Alliances has plenty of tales for all three of these cultures, as well as a couple more pipeweeds (possessions, as they should be...I’m talking to you, Rise of Saruman!). If you can afford to go with one of the set’s other Ring-bearers (like Duo #47’s Déagol), it might be well worth your while to go with this Bilbo and open up all those tales and pipeweeds. You may not know it just yet, but this version fits in VERY well with the set’s Dwarves (and Gandalf).

Stealth! I LOVE IT! Stealth rules! OH YEAH! OH YEAH!!!! w00t!

Anyway, containing myself, nice card. But no reason not to use it over Frodo. Give me some reason not to use it. As it is, kinda powerful. Consider other ARBs, Bilbo, Bearer of Things Burgled.

Oh yeah, what happened to the Bearer of... thing for ARBs?

Oh, maybe take into hand, btw. Because Crouched Down and Concerning Hobbits, and, stereotypical. Nine-Fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom will end up with kinda awkward circumstances.

Again, this refers to a type of card we haven’t seen much since the Towers block...and not at all since Shadows. But stealth cards also make a big comeback in Lasting Alliances, especially for the culture. This ability is much better than it may appear at first...not that playing conditions and events is anything to sneeze at.

Okay, tomorrow we’ll really get into the meat of things. Until then, check out some Hobbits.

how about just a tale in general? it would shave off a lot of text, and it still wouldn’t be to good IMO. [b]

Both versions of Bilbo are awesome, although you have an extra space after ’resistance 8’ in Expert Burglar’s game text.

I must ask, why the signet? Both Sméagol and Déagol had resistance. Unless, of course, it is your intent to incorporate signets back into the game somehow. Other than this, I like the card; I think that his latter ability should clarify where you can stack these cards from (hand, discard pile, etc).

Intentionally. If I leave the space out, I end up with , which is obviously not what I want. Good catch, though.

How about this:

Fellowship: Exert Bilbo to take a event or condition into hand from your discard pile. If it is a stealth card and you play it this turn, its twilight cost is -1.

No, I think that the previous way was better. Being able to take up to 5 skirmish events into hand if you use a Vitality +2 Ring seems too good. I liked it better the old way, since it only worked with fellowship events.

Oh, and the ability already does clarify. You stack it from your discard pile onto your draw deck.

Glad to see you’re doing something with signets. I think it was something that Decipher never really touched on. It had a whole lot of potential. They could have kept it by adding it somewhere else on the card.
