I'd like to see gandalf.
[4] •Gandalf, The Grey Wanderer [Gandalf]This is a cool, interesting ability. There is a problem that it only does anything for people interested in tournament or tournament-style play.
Companion • Wizard
Strenght: 7
Vitality: 4
Signet: Gandalf
You can mulligan more than once. Each time you decide to mulligan, draw one less card.
½C11
[1] His Knowledge Is His Strength [Gandalf]Nice flavour-ability connection, and a good strength pump. I think it's fine particularly because it only works on Gandalf.
Event • Skirmish
Make Gandalf strength +1 for each Free Peoples search card in your discard pile.
½C12
[1] Interrogate [Gandalf]Interesting. So this represents capturing the minion. I like it a lot. But I don't see why it's a spell.
Event • Maneuver
Search. Spell.
Exert Gandalf to exhaust a minion. That minion cannot take wounds until the start of the skirmish phase unless its owner decides to reveal his or her hand.
½R13
[2] Silent Reflections [Gandalf]This is a fine place for a spell.
Event • Response
Search. Spell.
If one of your condition or possession is about to be discarded, spot Gandalf to prevent that.
½C14
(0) Wizard Hat [Gandalf]That's really weird. How can a hat not be borne by someone? And how does a hat grant a strength bonus? No, not a fan here.
Possession • Helm
Strength: +1
Plays to your support area.
Each time a spell is played, you may transfer this possession from your support area to a Wizard.
At the end of the regroup phase, return this possession to your support area.
½R15
[3] Wizardly Instructions [Gandalf]Love it.
Event • Fellowship
Spell.
Spot 2 companions with the Gandalf signet to discard a shadow condition.
½U16
•The One Ring, The Last Ring of Power [Ring]This is supposed to be in Fellowship block, yes? I wonder if having a ring that's so similar to Isildur's Bane is more of a bane for your set than a boon. Try something quite different, I would.
Vitality: +1
While wearing The One Ring, each time the Ring-bearer is about to take a wound, add a burden instead.
Response: If bearer is about to take a wound, he wears The One Ring until the regroup phase.
½U1
I think Bree Thugs should be unique. If you can drop e.g. Ugluk and 4 thugs, it could add lots of burdens. In early sets there are not many efficent ways to remove burdens (like Sting WoH or Glamdring FH) except Sam, who can be easily killed by Toldea.I think that making it unique would indeed reduce the possibility of an overpowered bomb. However, I would rather try to keep it non-unique and just reword it a little bit.
Idea of Wizard Hat is interesting, mixed with cards like deep in thought or spells from Towers block.Thanx for your comments. I think that Dug Far And Deep can be useful, it can also work with Gimli, DotM, Their Halls of Stone, Realm of Dwarrowdelf and to some extent, with Speak "Friend" and Enter. It also works with Mine Exploration. I would like to keep Lords of the Mountains non-unique, it is not THAT strong compared to Hobbit Stealth which can help you avoid the Balrog too. However, if others also think it should be unique, I will change it.
Dig far and deep is useless for me, unless the sitepath has mountains (to make strategy with Till Durin wakes Again efficient). Lords of the Mountains should be unique (Balrog for 34? Thanks a lot).
Technically, if you start Legolas and 2 Lorien Elf, Elven Lights becomes playable quickly, perhaps too quickly. I'm now worried that someone could do that and then sacrifice the Lorien Elves. I think I will change "To play, spot 3 Elf companion" into "If you cannot spot 3 Elf companions, discard this condition."No difference, the card will be equally useless.
7 Gladden Fields [6]To make all those cards playable, you need to make FP player put the ring on after the shadow phase, as otherwise 99% of the time there will be no minion to spot when the effect happens.
Marsh. River.
When the fellowship moves to Gladden Fields with a Man, the Ring-bearer puts on The One Ring until the end of the archery phase.
½U58
Note: Decks having Man are much better than other fellowships in FOTR Block. Silverode Banks is annoying for those who don't use Rangers. Let's try to change this a little bit. Gladden Fields is where Isildur got ambushed and dropped the ring. That card doesn't only give a Marsh to the Watcher in the Water, it makes all of those cards nobody uses (with the exception of The Twilight World) worth using. Take Southern Spies, Too Much Attention and Uruk Spy out of your trashbin! Its until the end of the archery phase because of Return to its Master.
Thanx. You are right. I will make it:7 Gladden Fields [6]To make all those cards playable, you need to make FP player put the ring on after the shadow phase, as otherwise 99% of the time there will be no minion to spot when the effect happens.

[1] Camouflage [Gondor]
Condition
Stealth. Plays to your support area.
Response: If a minion uses a special ability, discard this condition or your cloak from play to cancel that ability.
½R29
Seems mighty powerful for only (1)
(0) Campfire Folklore [Gondor]
Event
Tale.
Maneuver: Make a companion with the Aragorn signet defender +1 for each tale borne by that companion.
½U30
This is the first time for a defender +x type card, because it is really powerful. I'd have to look at what tales can be born, but it might be a bit OP.
[1] Sensing Footsteps [Gondor]
Event
Search.
Fellowship or Regroup: Spot a ranger and an opponent who is ahead on the adventure path to make each minion roaming until the end of the regroup phase.
½U33
Unfortunately, the way the rules work the fellowship half of this card would do nothing, because there are no minions in play at the time. I don't remember the specific ruling, but cards that give other cards traits only apply to cards in play. Could someone back me up on this?
[2] •Gollum, The Former Owner of the Ring [Gollum]I don't dislike the card beyond the subtitle.
Minion
Strength: 5
Vitality: 4
Site Number: 3
Each time the fellowship moves, you may add 2 burdens.
½R17
I like your idea for Locked Doors.[2] •Gollum, The Former Owner of the Ring [Gollum]I don't dislike the card beyond the subtitle.
Minion
Strength: 5
Vitality: 4
Site Number: 3
Each time the fellowship moves, you may add 2 burdens.
½R17
I think that Locked Doors should be the kind of condition that plays on a site. I don't know if it is fair to handicap an entire deck design.
I like the rest of the ideas though.
