So, this can sound cliche, (and I don't know if this has already been posted) but I would like your opinions about what are the best 7 cards of each culture, in all terms together, not specifying 7 cards a culture has for each strategy the game has.
I mean in all terms together for example: Saved from the Fire for exellent cycling and Glamdring, foe-hammer for beatdown/burden removal (both can be named for Gandalf culture).
Oh, and from all sets together. Just 7 cards in total for each culture.
So, start tossing names! Perhaps I'm going to make my own anthology... hhmm :roll:
-
I can just speak about Elven Cards. I have tried other cultuers - never succeded so far!
