Return to the Paths of the Dead - Abandoning All Reason

[Anvar]

I've upped the cost to 5. Any better you think?

Anvar

[Thranduil]

Probably. You should hear some other opinions though.

Ah, NOW i see it! I don't think the cost was THAT low, though, but I guess upping it a bit wouldn't hurt it either or cripple the playability.

Wight of the Shadows
Minion • Wraith
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Site: 2
Twilight. Enduring 1.

I'd really like these better with some lore...they look so naked without it! Fine otherwise, though.

Spirit of Angmar
Minion • Wraith
Strength: 8
Vitality: 3
Site: 2
Twilight. Enduring 2.

Ditto here.

•Undead King, Warrior of Old
Minion • Wraith
Strength: 10
Vitality: 4
Site: 2
Twilight. Enduring 2.
While this card is in your dead pile, each minion gains enduring 2.

Make sure you bold enduring 2....

Yowch. Perhaps limit that specifically to Wraiths and Nazzies, as giving minions like Orcs enduring seems a little silly and contrary to what you're trying to do. Powerful and cool, though. MAYBE consider reducing that hand-out to enduring 1. Maybe.

Thanks for all the comments as usual. A few more Wraithy cards for you today:

Light a Candle of Your Own
Event • Maneuver
Twilight.
Exert a twilight minion to make the Ring-bearer wear The One Ring until the regroup phase. The Free Peoples player may add 2 threats to prevent this.

All Dead, All Rotten
Event • Response
Twilight.
If the Ring-bearer puts on The One Ring, exert a minion to add a burden for each twilight minion you can spot (limit 3).

Could run into a problem with enduring twilight minions. Other than that, the title of the Ring is 'The One Ring' with all words starting with capital letters.

All Dead, All Rotten
Event • Response
Twilight.
If the Ring-bearer wears the One Ring, exert 3 minions to add a burden for each shadow twilight card you can spot.

'Shadow' with a capital 'S'. I think I'd prefer less cost in exertions and more in twilight tokens. You could even have high twilight cost with toil.

Grammar Nazi...

Anyways, I think that enduring minions aren't a problem. I mean, they made Gorgoroth Berserker, didn't they? And stuff that require exerting Sauron minions, even though some are enduring.

With the second card, just make it for every twilight card you spot.

needs a limit

[DáinIronfoot]

I'll just echo SoP on these. Good stuff, though.

Sound.

You mean if he "puts on the one ring" not wears it or you can always respond to this, or never depending no which way you look at it. Id prefer the cost to be lower and it toned down to twilight minions or something. Rising costs arent always a good way to balance OP cards.

[Thranduil]

It's funny how minor expletives look so much worse when they become random punctuation!

Thranduil

[Anvar]

I've toned down all dead all rotten quite a lot in response to comments. It is now fairly similar to Wraith-world, but has the advantage of being twilight and response timing.

Lemon - blame the bank holiday! I didn't post more than usual...

Today I have a miscellanea of cards (is that a word?) relating to various themes that the Wraiths like to dabble in.

Barrow Patrol
Event • Skirmish
Make a Wraith or Nazgul strength +2 (or +3 if you can spot a  tomb).
"A pale greenish light was growing round him."

Stars Shall Die
Event • Skirmish
Make a minion strength +1 for each card in each dead pile.
"...till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead."

Black Wind
Event • Regroup
Exert a minion to remove a Free Peoples card in a discard pile from the game.
"Suddenly a song began: a cold murmur, rising and falling."

Seems fine. Perhaps though it should be Wraith or Nazgûl only.

Stars Shall Die
Event • Skirmish
Make a minion strength +1 for each card in the dead pile.
"...till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead."

Surely 'in each dead pile' if you're using legendary? Awesome though.

Black Wind
Event • Regroup
Exert a minion to remove a Free Peoples card in a discard pile from the game.
"Suddenly a song began: a cold murmur, rising and falling."

Also awesome, but I think it should be a weather card!

Thranduil

[DáinIronfoot]

I'm with Thran on all counts.

[Anvar]

Ha! I love the idea of Black Wind being a weather card, but it would make no sense at all in my set...
