Archives of Minas Tirith / Ugluk and Tracker/Hunter

« Last post by Larry5000 on Today at 12:18:29 AM »

OK hate to admit it but it has been a long time posting in here, I doubt if anybody missed me, but that is OK anyway.

In the earlier sets there was the keyword Tracker(s) and of course in the latter sets the key word Hunter(s) I never really got into cards with the Tracker Keyword much at all, to be honest not even sure if trackers are special in any ways shape or form. I do allot with the Hunter cards I love my Free people's Hunters and as of late I love my Minion Hunters as well.

Because I came late to the game on trying to get certain cards for my deck some cards have become outrageous in price one such card is Ugluk Ugly Fellow, most people are asking $180.00 and it goes on up from there WOW. The other version is Ugluk Servant of Saruman Category One Games had that one at $2.99 but is out of stock. As far as Stats go they are the same 9,3,5 The Hunter version gives you the automatic + 3 strength against a non hunter, the earlier version you must spot 2 trackers to get the +3. There is a slightly cool game text on the hunter version that whoever is fighting him must exert first but in my opinion certainly not 180.00 + cool.

I would love to get other people's perspective on this guy the old version against the new version. I always say there is usually away around things especially in this case when you are dealing with a super high price tag. Would I love to have the new Hunter version ... yes for sure to complete my minion Hunter deck with this race, but again not going to fork out the high price tag just to do it. Sorry I took so long to say what I did in explaining it all, but please chime in if you have any opinions at all with that particular guy Ugluk?

Bill Ferny, Swarthy Sneering Fellow, June 25 2022

https://play.lotrtcgpc.net/gemp-lotr/game.html?replayId=elfwarrior$nua0kzbe8kap7avo

On my first shadow turn of this recording I have a black breath out and no Nazgul. I assign Ferny to Frodo and black breath lights up like I can transfer it. Black breath requires a Nazgul in a skirmish to transfer. Bill Ferny is a Man. I did not try to transfer to test this out because I was saving the black breath and I did not want to use a bug.  Could clicking on black breath with only Ferny out do nothing? Or could Ferny transfer the Black Breath in GEMP? He shouldn't be able to transfer Black Breath because Ferny is a Man and not a Nazgul. I have not played Nazgul much so this is the first time I saw this situation.

Thank you

Taking the Long Way Round
Event • Fellowship
To play spot a dwarf and exert a Wizard. For the rest of the game, add one to the fellowship's current site number.  Each shadow player may play any number of minions from their draw deck in their next shadow phase.
"Yeah Gimli, let's go through the goblin infested mine. What could possibly go wrong?"

Great card! I would legitimately love to make a deck around this and see if it would work.

(Petrol is £1.87 a litre over here. That works out at over $10 a gallon)

Oof. Brutal, sorry brother. Just crossed $5/gal here

Blackouts, Destruction, and Death
Event • Shadow
Spot a crow minion to skip the archery phase.
Spot 2 crow minions to discard a condition.
Spot 3 crow minions to wound and ally twice.
"That means blackouts, destruction, and death. Just look at the headlines"

Chamber of Mazarbul / Re: New Dream Card Contest Thoughts

« Last post by Phallen Cassidy on June 22, 2022, 01:41:41 AM »

My advice would be to make it uncomplicated -- the lower the threshold for participation, the greater number of participants you'll have (though perhaps at the cost of quality participation). Voting is handled pretty easily by the forum's polls, encourage people to explain their reasoning but I wouldn't make it mandatory for a vote to count or anything. Anonymous submissions are an extra step IMO.

For "how it should be done," I wouldn't feel bound to the Fill in the Blank format of making a coherent set either. By all means if that sounds best to you go for it. You could also take it one card at a time and have everyone build around a particular theme/keyword/card title/whatever. Some threads in the past were to make smaller, weaker subcultures stronger (Sauron wraith cards are a popular target) or improve the balance of formats (by adding new cards of course, not by editing/banning old ones). You could also do "runs" of cards, Decipher often took a formula and applied it to every culture for a different effect (e.g., the "remove 3 to prevent" FP events, Tidings of Erebor through Hobbit Sword-play). Or something else! Any sort of constraint is enough for creativity.

I think 20 cards is too many personally, takes a lot of devotion from yourself and any participants to do anything for nearly 6 months But I can't commit to being an active participant either way.

Some people really only want to tinker with new rules/mechanics/keywords, others really only want to tinker with existing ones, and of course others don't care much either way. As a member of team "existing things" I would advise not being firm on one or the other unless the new/existing rule/mechanic/keyword is the point of that particular contest. Not sure what you mean by "premium" characters or modifiers.

It'd be nice to get some life back to these boards. Maybe they're really dead, or maybe they're just sleeping. Whether this takes off or not, cheers for the attempt. Good luck!

An unapologetic version of Twisted Tales, I love it!

Debt They Cried
Event • Maneuver
Spot a Central Bank to make all players draw 3 cards. Any Shadow player may make all players draw 3 cards and if so, you may make all players draw 3 cards; repeat this until no player draws a card.
