Into the South - a mini DC set by sweet_stuff

[Thranduil]

Elite Mumak
Possession • Mount
Str: +3
Bearer must be a Southron. Bearer is Damage +1.
At the start of the maneuver phase, you may remove three threats to take control of a site.

This isn't screaming flavour to me. I'd rather have it when you win a skirmish: you get defeated by a huge ridiculous Mûmak, so you flee leaving the site to your enemy. That said, I'm not sure what I think about the choice between then killing companions with threats when you kill a guy and getting a site (it's an interesting decision, but I'm not sure if it's one you ought to be forcing your players to make or not). I think I'd actually like it more with "Each time bearer wins a skirmish, you may take control of a site" or "you may remove to...".

•Mumak Commander, Master of the Beasts
Minion • Man
Str: 14
Vit: 4
Site: 4
Southron.
While this minion is mounted, each time he wins a skirmish you may remove to take control of a site.

Ah. I see you got ahead of me on this one... I would rather swap this guy's site control text for the Mûmak, so have this guy remove 3 threats in the maneuver phase.

Men of Rhun (V)
Event • Skirmish
Exert a Southron to add a burden for each site you control (limit 3)

Sorry to burst a fine card, but this makes absolutely no sense! Rhûn is in the East, not the South! That's why the original card worked with Easterlings!

Men of Harad (V)
Condition • Support Area
Bearer is strength +1 for each site you control
While you control a site, bearer is Damage +1
Skirmish: Remove a burden to transfer this condition to a man (limit 1 per bearer).
Regroup: Remove a burden or remove to transfer this condition from a minion to your support area.

This card probably has too much text to fit on a card. I also don't like the asymmetry of removing a burden to transfer it, but giving the option to remove to put it back. But otherwise it's fine.

•Element of Surprise
Condition • Support Area
While you control a site, each minion gains ambush

Very very nice card. Easily my favourite of the bunch!

Thanks for all the feedback! Here are updated versions of the cards:

Elite Mumak
Possession • Mount
Str: +3
Bearer must be a Southron. Bearer is Damage +1.
Each time bearer wins a skirmish you may remove to take control of a site.


•Mumak Commander, Master of the Beasts
Minion • Man
Str: 14
Vit: 4
Site: 4
Southron.
At the start of the maneuver phase, you may remove three threats to take control of a site.

Men of Rhun (V)
Event • Skirmish
Exert an Easterling to add a burden for each site you control (limit 3)

Men of Harad (V)
Event • Response
If the Ringbearer takes a wound during the archery phase, discard 2 (or one if you have initiative) to take control of a site.



And some new ones to round off the set, some are designed to be uncommon or common as cards to fill out the strategy, stats based on the initiative guys from RotK:

Southron Guard
Minion • Man
Str: 5
Vit: 2
Site: 4
Southron. Ambush
While you control a site, this minion is an archer.

Southron Enforcer
Minion • Man
Str: 6
Vit: 2
Site: 4
Southron. Ambush
While you control a site, this minion is an archer.

Southron Retainer
Minion • Man
Str: 8
Vit: 2
Site: 4
Southron. Ambush
While you control a site, this minion is an archer.


And a rare:

•Desert Lancers (V)
Minion • Man
Str: 11
Vit: 3
Site: 4
Southron. Ambush
Archery: Liberate a site you control to add 2 to the minion archery total.


And a V card:

•Army of Haradrim (V)
Minion • Man
Str: 14
Vit: 4
Site: 4
Southron.
Skirmish: Remove (or spot a site you control) to play a mount from your discard pile.


And I think thats the end of my set. What do you all think?

Nice re-working of Men of Harad, but I think that would have to be unique.

Also, Army of Haradrim would have to have a limit, but once per phase doesn't work. Once per turn?

I don't think making an event unique would do anything You bring up a good option though, make it a unique condition looking something like this:

•Men of Harad (V)
Condition • Support Area
Each time the ringbearer takes a wound during the archery phase, discard this condition (or 2 men) to take control of a site

The problem is I already have a couple conditions to take sites, and if its unique its not, strictly speaking, a V card. What do you think though?

 The army I think is a bit underpowered as is, so I was trying to give it a bit more power. You still have to pay for the mount, just not an additional . Maybe I should make it: (or spot a site you control and exert Army of Haradrim)...

One more

Raiders from the East (V)
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot a Man
Skirmish: Spot a site you control and discard this condition to play a possession or condition from your discard pile.
"The Easterlings raid their enemies to gather supplies and equipment"

Or:

Raiders from the East (V)
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot a Man
Maneuver: Spot a site you control and discard this condition to add .
"The Easterlings raid their enemies to gather supplies and equipment"

The original was useless and I think the flavor makes more sense with the given lore. I kinda like the first one better, what do you guys think?


Ok, last one for this post, promise

On the March (V)
Event • Skirmish
Liberate a site you control and spot a Man to make each [Souron] minion strength +3 until the regroup phase.
Easterlings traveled up the ancient roads of Gondor to swell the hosts of the Dark Tower.

The flavor is that raider men are on the march, so they leave a site they control behind to swell the ranks of the dark tower and make them all str +3.

No more reviews? One quick note: I think in a format where these guys are legal, southron archer would need to be restricted or limited to +2 or +3.

Raiders from the East (V)
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot a Man
Skirmish: Spot a site you control and discard this condition to play a possession or condition from your discard pile.
"The Easterlings raid their enemies to gather supplies and equipment"

Hmmm... Good, but I don't remember Easterlings having recursion before—I thought that was a Corsair thing.

Raiders from the East (V)
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot a Man
Maneuver: Spot a site you control and discard this condition to add .
"The Easterlings raid their enemies to gather supplies and equipment"

And again, I thought this is a Southron ability. There's absolutely nothing wrong with either card, but neither of them seem to tie into the title. Easterlings get mainly burden abilities.

On the March (V)
Event • Skirmish
Liberate a site you control and spot a Man to make each [Souron] minion strength +3 until the regroup phase.
Easterlings traveled up the ancient roads of Gondor to swell the hosts of the Dark Tower.

I love it!

I also wouldn't worry about Southron Archer! Seems good, but fine to me.

hmm, I was trying to figure out how I could fit the lore in for flavor as something useful. I see what you mean about recursion though...

Raiders from the East (V)
Condition • Support Area
To play, spot a Man
Response: If an Easterling overwhelms a companion, discard X men to add X burdens.
"The Easterlings raid their enemies to gather supplies and equipment"
