Reviews seem to be particularly sparse at the moment. Never mind.
I changed Cirdan so hopefully he’s good. Now onto another ring and the associated Elven Lords:
 • Gil-Galad, King in Lindon 
Companion • Elf
Str: 9
Vit: 4
Res: 6
To play, spot an Elf.
While Gil-Galad bears an artifact, he gains enduring 1.
Skirmish: Discard an artifact borne by Gil-Galad to make an Elf strength +1 (or +2 if that artifact was a ring).
 • Elrond, Son of Earendil
Companion • Elf
Str: 8
Vit: 4
Res: 7
To play, spot 2 cards.
While Elrond bears an artifact, he gains "Stalwart - (when Elrond is assigned to a minion of greater strength you may:) heal another companion".
Regroup: Discard an artifact borne by Elrond to remove a threat (or 2 threats if that artifact was a ring).
 • Vilya, First of the Three
Artifact • Ring
Vit: +1
Legendary.
Bearer must be a unique Elf.
If this card is discarded from play, you play another artifact from your discard pile.

should it be he gains enduring one for each artifact he bears? and it should be +2 or +3 if it was a ring.

Obviously especially awesome with Vilya and Aiglos, thanks to their vitality bonuses. Good stuff.

MAYBE make his Stalwart only heal OTHER companions...otherwise, unless facing a huge or damage-bonused minion, he can just skirmish large minions over and over and keep healing the wounds he takes from them.

I’m with SoP: there’s really no reason for this (or your new Narya) to lack its usual vitality bonus. Strongly recommend adding it back. |

Changed cards according to suggestions. My only worry about the rings with vitality bonuses is that you want to discard them quite regularly.
Okay, our last Lord now.
 • Galadriel, Of the House of Finwe
Companion • Elf
Str: 3
Vit: 3
Res: 7
While Galadriel bears an artifact and you can spot 3 Elves, she gains "Stalwart - (when Galadriel is assigned to a minion of greater strength you may:) remove a burden".
Skirmish: Discard an artifact borne by Galadriel to prevent an Elf from being overwhelmed unless his or her strength is tripled (or prevent an Elf from being overwhelmed if that artifact is a ring).
• Nenya, Second of the Three
Artifact • Ring
Vit: +1
Legendary.
Bearer must be a unique Elf.
If this artifact is discarded from play, you may take an event into hand from your discard pile.
And now for the first support card which warrants some explanation on the background. Celebrimbor founded this sort of secret society in Eregion devoted to making crazy stuff which included all the rings and so forth. And this is what they were called:
 • Gwaith-i-Mirdain
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot 3 Elves.
Each time your artifact is discarded from play, you may stack it here from your discard pile.
Maneuver: Discard a card stacked here to choose an opponent who must exert his or her minion.
Regroup: Discard 2 cards stacked here to reconcile your hand.

Hmm her ability is overkill. Its already awesome as it has no limit so you could do this to every companion every turn with the ease of artifacts but stopping all wounds as well; thats just insane. You could remove a burden then do this to herself to stop her dying, too strong combo for one person. Id remove the wound line at least nad/or edit the overwhelm line to adding pool as well or something.

My only worry is your own Thrasn about discarding vitality addders.

Id change the maneuver to 2 cards and lower cost to 1. But good card.

I was worried about that too. The only problem was, I wanted to make her Stalwart at least remotely viable and an extra ability for discarding a ring like the others.
Should be changed by the time you read this!

Understood. But I still see no reason for them to lack it.

Wow, still pretty darn powerful. But this is a Galadriel I would probably actually USE, so extra points for that. Balanced, but JUST barely. MAN is it close.

lem0n’s idea is something to consider, but considering the hefty spotting requirement, it’s probably okay as is. |
