AHHHH! BROKEN!!!
Okay, if your opponent focuses on fighting and has no way to discard conditions, then they are screwed. For every 3 minions that are played, one won’t fight. And then add in crazy token reinforcement like Guarded City and Throne of Minas Tirith, and it just explodes! And it’s non-unique too! And you can use it with Rohan and Gandalf Men! And heck, you can spot your OPPONENT’S MEN!
This is just dumb. It’ll get X-ed fast... and if it doesn’t, my group will outlaw it anyways.
5 for playability, 0 for playtesting. Maybe Decipher shouldn’t have dropped those playtesters... |

| Yeah, this has ZERO cultural reinforcement... |

| It’s not that bad. Most decks these days should pack condition removal anyway. |

| man... it’s broken. Gondor has so many ways to reinforce tokens that’s it not even funny. Guarded City, Throne of Minas Tirith, and that merchant dude. |

BROKEN.
Almost more broken than Fruit Loops.
1! 1! 1!
I REFUSE to play against anyone that uses this card! |

Personally I agree that this card shouldn’t have seen print. The concept of one in three minions being safely ignored is just too powerful.
But in practice, I think Bib is right. Conditions are very easily discarded. And certain decktypes, like Wraiths and any sort of Shadow archery, won’t even flinch at this card.
The Faithful Stone is a bad idea, but certainly not the apocalypse.  |

| Voted 5 as its still a question of how playable. Answer - extremely. No culture enforcement and the fact its non unique means broken. Swarm will never work again and bomb gets shafted. I too will join the lobby to never play anyone using this. I hate to keep moaning on but im gonna say this again... Escalation. Buy these new cards from us or your old decks wont win anymore.... |

No culturally enforced?  5 because it’s extra playable! |

So every third minion can’t be assigned? And its non-unique. Easily shuts down just about every swarm once you have one or two out, and three means that for every three minions played, none of those three may be assigned. (get a 3 tokens on each when three minons are played, use each one to prevent a different one of the three from being assigned.) Except against  , in which case its useless.
That’s pretty broken.
