I would exclude the Ring-bearer from having it transferred to them...that’s a potential resistance -4 otherwise, which is simply too good for only  . |

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!

Changed it so that it’s better for the Ring-bearer. Thanks all!
Now, one of the other things I wanted to do in this set is to produce cards for strategies that were never finished.
Starting with the Naith then, here is my attempt to make them slightly usable:
 Naith Long Bow 
Possession • Ranged Weapon
Str: +2
Bearer must be an Elf.
Each time bearer wins a skirmish, you may discard a card from hand to exert a minion.
The other Free Peoples strategy I tried to supplement was  Wraiths:
 • Army of Specters
Condition • Support Area
Response: If a Wraith is killed, remove that companion from the game to play a Wraith from your draw deck or discard pile. Discard this condition.
Also, here’s another cool card just for kicks:
Voyage of the Ring-Bearers
Event • Fellowship
Spot 2 Elves to play one of the following from your draw deck or discard pile: Elrond, Galadriel, Gandalf, Frodo, Sam, Bilbo, Cirdan.

Hmm good ability but costs 2 so fair enough. Id drop it back to 1 and give it a cost to exert say discard a card or something, but thats just me.
• Army of Specters
Condition • Support Area

Good but a bit of an NPE. Yay i killed one of the ghostly blighters. Darn, he’s back again!

Continuing on my theme of ’cards that strategies need’, here is a  card for the arsonist strategy (the one involving playing guys in the skirmish phase):
Burning and Pillaging
Condition • Support Area
Each time you play a Man during the skirmish phase, it is damage +1 until the regroup phase.
Response: If a Man is about to take a wound, discard this condition to prevent that wound.
And a final card in this theme for the  Orcs who always die horribly to wounding strategies:
Fires of Industry
Event • Archery or Skirmish
Exert an minion to choose one: heal 3 other Orcs; heal another minion twice; or make the fellowship archery total -3.

Heal each other orc minion is a bit too good. I mean if u couldnt wounds isengard orcs u were doomed.

Great, I’ve changed the card a little, and I’ve nearly finished the set!
Starting, then, with a previously spoiled card (as one of my burritos) following with the rather slimy semi-reprints that go with it:
• Watcher in the Water, Many-Tentacled Creature 
Minion • Creature
Str: 11
Vit: 4
Sit: 4
Damage +1.
Watcher in the Water cannot bear possessions.
While you can spot 3 tentacles, Watcher in the Water is fierce.
While you can spot 5 tentacles, Watcher in the Water is enduring.
While you can spot 7 tentacles, each Creature is strength +3 and cannot take wounds (except in the skirmish phase).
Foul Tentacle
Minion • Creature
Str: 7
Vit: 1
Sit: 4
Tentacle.
This minion may not bear possessions.
When you play this minion, you may play a tentacle from your draw deck.
Huge Tentacle
Minion • Creature
Str: 6
Vit: 1
Sit: 4
Tentacle.
This minion may not bear possessions.
When you play this minion, you may play a tentacle from your draw deck.
Shadow: If the current site is a marsh, play a tentacle from your discard pile.
 Reaching Tentacle
Minion • Creature
Str: 8
Vit: 1
Sit: 4
Tentacle.
This minion may not bear possessions.
When you play this minion, you may play a tentacle from your draw deck (and add if the current site is a marsh).
Foul Tentacle
Minion • Creature
Str: 9
Vit: 1
Sit: 4
Damage +1. Tentacle.
This minion may not bear possessions.
When you play this minion, you may play a Creature from your draw deck or discard pile.

That subtitle has been used. Youre reprinting new versions? Id swap enduring and fierce.
Foul Tentacle
Minion • Creature
Str: 7
Vit: 1

When you play this minion, you may play a tentacle from your draw deck.
Fair enough.

Minion • Creature
Str: 6
Vit: 1
Sit: 4
Tentacle.
This minion may not bear possessions.

Slightly broke as this allows u to not use the ages end watcher, and still swarm with tentacles AND an awesome watcher.
Reaching Tentacle
Minion • Creature
Str: 8
Vit: 1
Sit: 4
Tentacle.
This minion may not bear possessions.

Broke. I play tentacle swarm and using this id kill everytime this guarantees an extra 20 pool.
Foul Tentacle
Minion • Creature
Str: 9
Vit: 1
Sit: 4
Damage +1. Tentacle.
This minion may not bear possessions.
When you play this minion, you may play a Creature from your draw deck or discard pile.

Question mate. Have you ever played a tentacle deck for real? Curious. |
