Olorin, I hope you are not bored if I explain, why old shadows are still competive if facing
Namarie - you can pay your attention meanwhile other things...
Old Shadows do have:
Saruman's PowerGoblin Scrabbler...
If you discard the keycards, even the
High King of the Noldor can not get any conditions back! I agree that
Namarie is very strong, but other cards are powerfull too! And without
Namarie, it is nearly impossible to get rid of nasty

Fact is: Rules should be easy and simple, this was your idea of this format, that is, why you cut my set 4-13 idea. And I am fine with it.
But I hate erratas and X-Listing Cards! (Erratas are difficult to handle, by x-listing, you keep further cards away from game - Exactly the opposite of what we were to achieve.
