should it be each archery phase? also with desperation wouldn't you just need to have desperation- at the start of each archery phase you may wound a minion?  keywords should be in bold IMSO

Shame 'Of the Grey Company' was taken! Some missing bolds, but whatever. I reckon he's fine. And SoP, the keyword desperation has no rules attached to it - it is just a signifier that such cards work together.

Awesome subtitle! Looks good.

OH Ok...I get it now, I thought desperation was a keyword...he could make it one right?

[Anvar]

Essentially Desperation is a keyword, except that rather than have all of you learn more keywords to review DCs, I thought I'd leave it as a callout keyword, a la Star Trek CCG which doesn't require any extra rules baggage.

Anvar

[sickofpalantirs]

I still think it would be simpler if it was just made a keyword...to each his own I suppose

[Thranduil]

Kralik - remove 'la' for 'led astray'!

That's all I have to say.

Seems ok.

Cool.

Looks good...though personally, I'd put archer in front of the return text.

Also, a question on desperation. Its text triggers when there are no cards in your deck, right? So is it necessary to put in "While you have no cards in your draw deck"? Couldn't you just say "Desperation - At the start of the archery phase, you may wound a minion"?

Nifty, though perhaps limit it to skirmishes involving Legolas but ADD archery events. So something like:

"Each time you play an archery event or play an event during a skirmish involving Legolas, you may scour 4 to exert a minion."

Ok, I'm bowing to pressure and changing Desperation to a loaded keyword (for now at least). Sorry for lack of lore but I'm a bit busy at the moment to hunt through LotR. Updated versions will come, when I get a moment...

•Arwen, Mortal Queen
Companion • Elf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 7
At the start of the fellowship phase you may scour 2 to heal Aragorn or an Elf.
Desperation - Arwen cannot be overwhelmed unless her strength is tripled.

[0 ] •A Mortal Life
Condition.
To play spot Aragorn (or 2 Gondor Men).
Bearer must be an Elf.
Bearer gains the culture.
If bearer is Arwen, she is resistance +2.

Anvar

[MR. Lurtzy]

These two look tasty, but what does scour mean?

[Anvar]

Sorry, should have reminded people. Scour X is just shorthand for 'discard X cards from the top of your draw deck'.

•Arwen, Mortal Queen
Companion • Elf
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Resistance: 7
While you can spot Aragorn, Arwen's twilight cost is -1.
At the start of the fellowship phase you may scour 2 to heal Aragorn or an Elf.
Desperation - Arwen can't be overwhelmed unless her strength is tripled.

Is that twilight reduction really necessary? Would it even help any decks given that Aragorn is or ? I think she's a bit too good anyway, so I'd be tempted to remove it - and she has too much text.

[0 ] •A Mortal Life
Condition.
Bearer must be an Elf.
Bearer gains the culture.
If bearer is Arwen, she is resistance +2.

This seems pretty basic and solid. Should it not spot some Men to play, though?

I think it should be "cannot" instead of "can't", and there should be a comma after "fellowship phase", but otherwise looks good to me. Well...MAYBE limit the healing to OTHER Elves. Not sure if that's necessary, though.

[0 ] •A Mortal Life

Niftiness! I love dual-culture stuff. Probably should spot a card or two to play, though.

[Anvar]

Some changes made. The twilight reduction was a hangover from when my Aragorn cost 4 with a -1 reduction. The current version (and the one I posted) has cost 4 with -2 reduction.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions,
Anvar
