I still think the flipping should be a consequence of wearing/activating (wearing Silmarils doesn't really make any sense). Also a mechanical issue: the response actions that flip the thing are by their nature optional actions. You should make them required by losing response and becoming each time or when actions.

Quite cool. "At the start of the archery phase, you may skip the archery phase to heal Beleg Cúthalion (or heal him twice if you have initiative)." And presumably he should be "Companion • Elf".

"You may..." is unnecessary. Otherwise, I like it. But again, I like seeing this as activating its power so that when you flip it, it's like saying "Wear The One Ring to..."

Condition
To play exert a minion. While you can spot this condition a may not back.

"Condition • Support Area". And "The may not " (why don't you use the untap symbol for going the other way?).

His Vengeance Achieved
Event
Response: If a minion wins a skirmish involving a Ringbound companion you may exert a minion to force your opponent to his .

I think you should have to exert the minion that won a skirmish. Also, I thought you wouldn't use Ring-bound by something else? I would also phrase it better as "... you may exert that minion to the ." Phrasing it the way you have makes it sound like an innuendo!

Place this character at the start of the game in your opponent's Void Area.
Each time a Bearer heals at a Sanctuary add a Burden. While the Fellowship moves the first Shadow player may remove 2 Burdens and exert Morgoth to turn the free peoples player Draw deck up side down (faced up) until the regroup phase.

What do you envisage as the "void area"? Why would the first Shadow player do the ability instead of the owner of the card? I also don't think you can turn an entire draw deck face up, but you can make the FP player play with the top card of their draw deck revealed which seems more sensible. Exactly how do you see this working in a fair way? Can he fight?

"While the is , Sauron is fierce and damage +2." I also think the Shadow action might be a bit too good.

New sub-type? Not sure it's necessary. What does omnipresent mean in rules terms? "Response: If a Shadow card is about to the , exert Eru twice to prevent that."

I'm still figuring out the alternate naming for some things. See what you mean: The Response makes it optional were required was intended

Quite cool. "At the start of the archery phase, you may skip the archery phase to heal Beleg Cúthalion (or heal him twice if you have initiative)." And presumably he should be "Companion • Elf".

He should. And I'm a bit proud on this one, cause Beleg was known about how his healing skills.

"You may..." is unnecessary. Otherwise, I like it. But again, I like seeing this as activating its power so that when you flip it, it's like saying "Wear The One Ring to..."

Will skip: You may.

"Condition • Support Area". And "The may not " (why don't you use the untap symbol for going the other way?).

Because I didn't knew th symbol 

I thought you wouldn't use Ring-bound by something else? I would also phrase it better as "... you may exert that minion to the ." Phrasing it the way you have makes it sound like an innuendo!

I did forgot to change it 

What do you envisage as the "void area"? Why would the first Shadow player do the ability instead of the owner of the card? I also don't think you can turn an entire draw deck face up, but you can make the FP player play with the top card of their draw deck revealed which seems more sensible. Exactly how do you see this working in a fair way? Can he fight?

I'm still thinking on this one. It still is not what I want. Innitately I wanted to have a negative character to start with (like you start with a ringbearer) which will stay on table, but can not fight and has effects in both felloshipphase and shadowphase. First I also thought it should have been from somebody's own deck; but so far that didn't work.

"While the is , Sauron is fierce and damage +2." I also think the Shadow action might be a bit too good.

Thx rephrasing. Don't agree with you about the shadow action. The spot flip requirement will make it a bit difficult.

"When you play Ar-Pharazôn, you may spot Sauron and an unflipped to play a , , or support area condition from your discard pile." Seems alright.

Thx again for rephrasing... Is one of my problems as non-native speaker.

New sub-type? Not sure it's necessary. What does omnipresent mean in rules terms? "Response: If a Shadow card is about to the , exert Eru twice to prevent that."

Omnipresent means in Dutch that it's always present; couldn't find an english word for it.. even not with an online translator. Further it means nothing then that he doesn't has a homesite And I needed to give him a sub-type, because he ain't maia nor valar, ent or whatever, besides that he's god or creator.

Will change it tomorrow. I'm at wake now, because I can't sleep, but it's night here, so I will give sleeping onother try first, before changing the mistakes

[Smeagollum]

Changes updated. Morgoth is still experimental, because I'm still not sure how I wany to do this mechanic. Of course you may all help.

I made a big change in the , because there needs to be more reasons to get it flipped and I think this make it actually a bit better and I think also a bit closer to Thranduil's sugestions.

Haha, omnipresent is the same meaning in english, I think Thran was asking what it means in this context.

Well what kind of homesite give you to someone who is present everywhere?
