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.

Not that I have much room to talk, of course.

Probably OP but good.

Balanced and ok.

Its non unique. A couple of these a site and your dead, OP.

Exert a companion if the free peoples plays a card is nasty as heck on top of an already good ability.

#6
No Ordinary Storm (V)
Event
Weather.
Shadow: Reveal 2 weather cards from hand to play Saruman from your draw deck or discard pile, or discard X Weather cards from hand and exert Saruman to exert X companions.
"’This is the work of Saruman!’"

Could have been phrased as 2 seperate shadow abilities. Its cool though.

#7

When you play this condition, spot a race. Each time you play another weather card, you may exert a companion or ally of that race.
“‘He does not love Elves and Dwarves, and that drift was laid to cut off our escape.’”

OP unless against a rainbow fellowship. Mono cultures get pwnd by this.

#8
No Ordinary Storm (V)
Condition
Weather.
Plays to your support area.
Each time you play another weather card, you may exert an Wizard (or spot 2 Wizards) to make the Free Peoples player exert a companion.
"’So Gandalf... you try to lead them over Caradhras. And if that fails - where then will you go?’"
1 V 130

Did i miss another isengard wizard??? Apart from that finally a balanced and useful card as long as you have to exert the wizard! Yay!

#9
No Ordinary Storm (V)
Condition
Weather.
To play, spot another weather condition (or Saruman). Plays to your support area.
Shadow: Discard this condition to add .
Regroup: Spot an minion and discard a weather condition to exert a companion.
"’If the Mountain defeats you, will you risk the more dangerous road?’"
1 V 130

Almost balanced but i think the regroup is tending towards OP, too targeted and strong. Would have benefited from freeps choice or exert a minion to do it.

#10
No Ordinary Storm (V)
Condition
Plays to your support area.
Shadow: Play a weather condition to place an token on this card.
Maneuver: Transfer this condition from your support area to the fellowship’s current site. When the fellowship moves from this site, the Free Peoples player must exert a companion for each token here.
"’So Gandalf... you try to lead the over Caradhras. And if that fails - where then will you go?’"
1 V 130

Sweetness a card i actually like! The longer it stays out the more powerful it becomes but risks being discarded. Balanced.

#11
No Ordinary Storm (V)
Condition
Weather. To play, exert an minion. Plays on a site.
While the fellowship is at this site, each time you play a weather card, you may exert a companion.

"’Gandalf, we must turn back!’"
1 V 130

Awesome. Balanced. My only concern is again it cant be unique so a couple at this site is nasty. Hey ho.

LOL i know where the lore is from but it looks silly written down. Was really good until i thought of the recursion this could create.

Did i miss another isengard wizard???
