A handful of random cards, including an Ally Shadowfax and a big friggin' gate.

I don't love a fighting Shadowfax, personally, as I can only picture the horse being hewn in two by the wimpiest of orcs.

Boromir seems fine. A strong card for a strong character.

Gate of Gondor is neat, but I almost wonder if I would ever transfer it to a minion, only keeping it out to keep my conditions safe.

By His Arts is a card that was probably needed in the post-Reflections world. Doesn't seem overpowered.

I cannot imagine why a deck would have multiple copies of Elven Rope (if even one), but I guess it is fine for replaying a discarded Hobbit Sword or the like if you have another copy in hand.

I tried to avoid that by giving Shadowfax strong enough stats to be able to trample some of the weaker minions. But yeah, Shadowfax might get axed.

Boromir seems fine. A strong card for a strong character.

Boromir is fun to write cards for. It feels like he got screwed over in the game. I'm still salty about the DoMT reprint in Black Rider.

I hadn't considered that but I like that it could be used that way.

Awesome!

It's a mostly-useless card, to be sure. I'm writing these randomly so sometimes I land on a page and point to a quote and end up with a go-nowhere card.

Thanks for the review
