Title: Headbutt!
Post by: menace64 on September 02, 2008, 04:18:31 PM
(0) Headbutt [Gondor]
Event • Skirmish
Discard a possession borne by a Man to make that Man damage +1 (and strength +3 if the discarded possession was a helm).
In the heat of battle, the desperate, unexpected blow tends to be the most devastating.

I just realized that Aragorn's forehead-assault on Lurtz never got the card treatment. How do you like it?

Looks nice, though IIRC, it didn't do Aragorn quite that much good... :P

Haha... I thought of another:

(0) Slip Sliding Away [Elven]
Event • Skirmish
Exert an Elf to discard a possession borne by a minion he or she is skirmishing. If that possession is a shield, exert a minion skirmishing an unbound companion twice.
As King Thranduil's eldest son, Legolas was gifted with surefootedness: his dexterity would become the heart of legend.

A card representing Legolas using an Uruk's shield as a surfboard. Also a good reference to a little-used interrupt from way back when!  :mrgreen:

While we're at it, I suppose...

[2] Hopping Mad [Shire]
Event • Response
If a skirmish involving an unbound companion is about to resolve, return an unbound Hobbit who is not assigned to a skirmish to your hand to make that companion strength +3 (or +5 if that Hobbit was bearing a hand weapon).
Hobbits were capable of amazing feats when pressed into action.

Haha! I just can't stop myself with these titles. Pure gold. The wording for the timing is kind of odd. It doesn't play like any other event that I know of - this one is played just after all players have passed during a skirmish and the skirmish is about to resolve. This card represents Merry and Pippin coming to Boromir's aid at the end of Fellowship.

Golly, I'm just having so much fun with this...

[5] Take the Initiative [Rohan]
Event • Assignment
Discard X [Rohan] mounts to return X minions to their owner's hand. Each Shadow player may play a minion for each minion returned to his or her hand in this way.
"'...a sword day! And the sun rises!'"

Not sure how powerful this is, but it's pretty true to the moment. Rohan shows up and quickly pushes Sauron's forces back, but at the high cost of pinning themselves in the thick of battle (the card adds [5]) and they loses a bunch of their horses. In response, even more minions come on the attack. It's probably too powerful, but meh. I just wanted to use the SWCCG titles.  :mrgreen:
