I thought about reposting cards in smaller groups to give some insight about them, here is a first batch of 5 with individual comments...
For those of you who are familiar with Heartstone, the
inspiration for this card is Reno Jackson, one of the most amazing concept I have ever seen in a card game. The goal is to create a card which gives a massive boost but that forces you to be creative and build unusual decks... Can you imagine the possibilities created by forcing people to play highlander vs regular competitive decks with this huge bonus for their Ring-bearer? Unlike Reno Jackson, there is no luck factor because you start with the Ring.
Gandalf's Cart and
The Shards of Narsil may be a few of the possible way to play multiple copies and avoid corruption in FOTR Block, which is great since the Shards has never been competitive (although discard decks would be a huge counter). The strength and vitality bonuses have to be playtested but I thought that making it similar to Gollum's statline might add some flavor to it.
The main cards that interact with FP search are %R13 Knowledge of
the Wise and %U28 Camouflage. I find Dwarf to be neither too bad or neither too good in FP Block. I thought that giving them access to an underground Site 6 would be a huge improvement with
Gimli, Dwarf of the Mountain-race,
Till Durin Wakes Again and
Their Halls of Stone. However...
However... in FOTR Block, you need ways to get rid of the Balrog is your site 6 is underground. Here comes this card which would work well with %R2 Dug Far and Deep.
I thought it would be fun to make a card which would make
Gimli, Dwarf of Erebor worth using, as well as
Grimir, Dwarven Elder,
Storm Of Argument,
Bilbo's Pipe and many other cards that nobody ever uses. Needs to be playtested because it might be OP with
Bilbo's Pipe.
This is just a simple common skirmish event, like others that appear in most set. Nothing flashy but since there are many trackers in the set, it may be useful.
PS. @Inspire, No these cards were never playtested. If you ever happen to try them, let me know how it went!
