Unfortunately, we still need 2 more people to vote. Luckily, one of them is me!

1) No. 1 - I love the simplicity and elegance of this card, combined with a very Wraithly ability, and just an all around well designed cost minion.
2) No. 5 - Elf Wraith - hilarious! Moria Scout for the win!
3) No. 3 - Solid, coherent and synergistic card.

But unfortunately this round is still too close to call (I was hoping that by waiting a bit, the last person would have voted) and so I can't post the winners of this round yet. I will, however, post the next round.



I knew I wanted to do villagers this round, and I knew I wanted to choose only one of them to give you for a card, and I also knew it didn't much matter which one given they all cost and do similar things. But in the end, I opted for the only rare ally which I found, even though he's not technically a villager, because there's very things worse than having a completely useless rare in your collection.

As a reminder, your card should:

1) Have the same title (with a (V) attached to the end)
2) Have the same twilight cost and culture
3) Have whatever attributes or attribute modifiers you think appropriate
4) Have a different text, maybe similar, but could also be on completely different lines. Card type is the main point of this round - I don't want this guy as an ally, I want him as a follower. He can have the keyword villager if you choose, or not, I don't really care. He should support a (or multicultural - think Helm's Deep with Aragorn, Elves and Gimli if you like) strategy, but it's up to you which strategy that is.
5) Have a lore which you want, it's really up to you - you can keep the same lore or put in your own, it doesn't really matter.

So your card should look a bit like this:

•Aldor, Soldier of Edoras (V)
Follower (• Sub-type)
Str: (+)A
Vit: (+)B
Res/Sit: (+)C
Text.
Lore.
4 V 262

Deadline is going to be Saturday 9th May, so get your entries in before then. I don't want to have to pester you again!

Good luck!

Count me back in, finally.

[sickofpalantirs]

I disagree, he's quite useful generating 1 archery a turn with well-stored or sister son of theoden, and with coif and wellstored and sister-son of theoden, 2 archery a turn.  But i'll make him anyway

[lem0nhead]

[Thranduil]
