Ulaire Nelya, Third of the Nine (switch sites)
Captured by the ring (very nice)

Post by: jdizzy001 on July 14, 2009, 06:49:37 PM: MIGHT OF NUMENOR! the best darn card in the game. Boo-ya! There are few cards that allow for manuver phase healing. The perfect counter to the lieutenant of morgal

Post by: Elessar's Socks on July 15, 2009, 06:17:04 AM: I'd choose the venerable Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul. Love the design for this one:

- Defensive use (and easily splashed) against large fellowships.
- Offensive use by designing a deck to get to 5 burdens.
- Directly kills companions of your choosing, which is as satisfying as it gets.
- Can still be countered by decks prepared for him (e.g. with maneuver wounding).

Wish it was legal in Standard.

Wish it was legal in Standard.

you get 5 burdens, and then you keep playing enquea, lom and he can add 4 wounds easy with ring of rancor, throw in that condition that heals nazzies during the maneuver and he adds more, and if you have extra burdens, you can use rancor's text to dish out more wounds. its really quite lethal. i like to throw in orthanc berserker. if the freeps player is careless enough to give you enough twilight, you can exhaust a companion before even using enquea.

Title: Re: Non-rare cards are good cards too!
Post by: Beregond25 on July 30, 2009, 07:30:20 AM: because it can kill like a shotgun. Could kill like a power house especially with Ring of Rancor
What about Prized Lagan and Golden Perch Ale. amazing cards.

There would be a sigh of relief from my side when Enquea would be standard legal, same goes for Greed. At least try to kill off huge fellowships.

YES! The versatility, one of my all-time favorite [gondor] cards. I'm also a fan of that's two from age's end, but that isn't a common nor uncommon.

Post by: Beregond25 on July 31, 2009, 03:03:12 PM: so what do ages end cards count as? are they rare?
Title: Re: Non-rare cards are good cards too!
Post by: Anautikus on July 31, 2009, 05:15:48 PM: *shrug it's not hard to spot a Ranger. It's not hard to spot a river/forest either.
Also, regardless of spotting requirements, it's an U card, and it's good :)

If memory serves me, they are P cards. I only mention it because, that's two reminds me of a card from set one which has a similar text... what was it... oh, cast it into the fire. Not exactly the same, but both of them are very handy in a multi-player game.
