Not bad, in my opinion. The ability to own some corsairs is very nice, and it also can hurt the new warg decks.

Gets a 5 from me.

Solid card!

I would definitely play Narsil, Forged by Telchar over Narsil, Blade of the Faithful unless my deck was extremely artifact-heavy. (And maybe even then!) The strength bonus is more reliable, and damage +1 on big companions is always useful. The exertion ability is fantastic as well, especially on a five-vitality Elendil! Very Happy

As Bib mentioned, Corsairs will be much less of a problem. Expect the new Narsil to take out a lot of Men possessions and Orc wargs as well.

Hm...I dont think the old narsil is going anywhere soon.

Still, good for certain strategies. I give it a 4.

I give it a 5. It’s an excellent card. Definately worth using, and more well-rounded than Narsil, Blade of the Faithful without overshadowing it; both versions of Narsil are still tempting in different decks.

The ONLY thing dragging it down is the picture. At least show a non-shattered shot of it! Oy. Razz

I love this picture! It’s so... shiny. Mr. Green

The lore is sweet too. A great card vs. possession-based Orcs or Men, right?

That’s true. I have to hand it to them for that. Smile

I’m with Dáin, why the hell do they always show Narsil shattered? How would bearing a shattered sword help AT ALL in skirmishes (yeah, it was shattered when it cut the Ring from Sauron’s hand, but then add a Sauron-specific bonus!)? Picture sucks badly, IMO! At least show it in one piece!

So basically you want it to have a pic when it was being used by Elendil.
after all when it was reforged it was no longer narsil.

SWEET NARSIL! I LOVE IT! this card is very very good. +3, damage and nice discard text. The old narsil is completely overshadowed IMO (except maybe for use on isildur with the vitality bonus)
