On Morgul Provoker, "six" should be "6".

Okay, folks. This is it: the last culture in Lasting Alliances. We’re getting so close...the biggest DC set EVER is almost complete! All that stands between us and the finishing touches is a rabble of Orcs and three monstrous trolls. So let’s get started...with a Double Duo!

Dáin’s DC Duos #217-218

The culture features a certain "magnificent" Dragon we’ve already covered, so it’s not an entirely new culture to those who have been following the Duos for a while. But as I said above, it is mainly stuffed with (surprise, surprise!) Orcs and three particular Trolls that anyone who has read The Hobbit (and even many who haven’t) know and love. They even made it into the film version of The Fellowship of the Ring...sort of, at least.

But we’ll get to the Trolls last. I gotta keep SOME level of suspense.

So that means we start with lots of Orcs. They’re a race that’s hardly new in Lasting Alliances to this point: we’ve had many and Orcs. Those, however, were usually more of the swarming goblin variety. The culture still has several of those, but they also have some bigger, meaner minions too. Whereas the and Orcs in this set are those encountered along the Quest of Erebor, the Orcs are from nearly 3,000 years earlier, during the final years of the Second Age and the War of the Last Alliance. They’re the Orcs that stood up to a siege for seven years and took down countless brave Númenóreans and Elves. They’re also the Orcs that took down Isildur and his sons, and began a new chapter in the War of the Ring.

And here they are...some of them, at least. Enjoy!

Good as is, but... maybe limit +5 or so?

I love the old-school feel of these!

Happy to hear you all like the "feel" of these cards. I was trying to capture both some old-school tactics and some old Orc feeling with these guys. The fact that folks see and appreciate it makes my heart glad.

Dáin’s DC Duos #219

As you’ve already seen hints of, these Orcs may be in the culture, but that hardly means they can only work with other cards. They get benefits from other Orkish cultures, and some of their cards give benefits to those cultures as well; most of the time, text on their cards will refer to Orcs of other cultures or simply just "Orcs" with no culture attached at all. Examples below. Enjoy!

Grim Servants of Barad-dûr
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot 3 Orcs.
Skirmish: Discard a , , or skirmish event from hand to make each Orc strength +1 until the regroup phase.
At the start of the regroup phase, discard each Orc or this condition.
“There was not only cunning in the attack, but fierce and relentless hatred.”

Very nice. Not sure it needs , though.

Orcish War-cries
Event • Assignment
Toil 1.
Remove a threat to make each Orc at a battleground or mountain gain hunter 1 and fierce until the regroup phase.
“Suddenly as the sun plunged into cloud they heard the hideous cries of Orcs, and saw them issuing from the Forest and moving down the slopes....”

Isn’t there a besieger card that does something similar? I’m not sure how balanced this card is until I remember what the other one’s called. It seems fine, but maybe too many conditions to satisfy.
