Light & Shadow - Complete Card List

[lem0nhead]

Sinister Inquiries
Condition • Support Area
Search.
When you play this condition, you may foresee 1 (look at the top 1 card of your draw deck; place that card on top of or beneath your draw deck).
Maneuver: Discard this condition and spot a companion with resistance 5 or less to take into hand a event from your draw deck.
L U 95

Really not that useful. Instead of packing this condition, pack another event and cut out the middle man!

Under the Ringwraith's Sway
Event • Shadow
If the fellowship is in region 1, spot a card to take into hand a Shadow card from your draw deck.
If the fellowship is in region 2 or 3, spot a card to make an unbound companion resistance -2 until the regroup phase.
L U 98

Strangely good for a 0 cost card, might make it 1.

Spies Everywhere
Condition • Support Area
Stealth.
Response: If a minion minion is played, remove to make that minion gain the culture and traitor until the regroup phase.
L R 96

Traitor maybe but i see no reason to make them ringwraiths even if they did work with them on one occasion.

[Braler]

Sinister Inquiries - i like it

Under the Ringwraith's Sway - kinda strong as is

Spies Everywhere -  i can certainly see that making some interesting decks with those two cultures... might make it cost a bit more in some way though

[Thranduil]

Okay, I've changed the first 2 cards and hopefully they're better now. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with Spies Everywhere. I might make it spot a card to activate. Right now, of course, the card has very limited gameplay effect given that I don't plan on referencing Traitor and there are very few cards that say minion in their texts.

Now to finish the Breelander section of the culture.

This first card is part of reinforcing the culture's strengths, or rather much more so a strength of the culture, but I thought it might be applicable.

Duplicitous Rogues
Event • Maneuver
Exert a minion to discard a possession.
L C 91

This condition is part of a Shadow cycle of resistance reducing conditions.

Forgetful of Danger
Condition • Unbound Companion
Res: -2
To play, spot a minion. Limit 1 per bearer.
Skirmish: Play this condition from your hand on a companion skirmishing a minion.
L C 92

And this minion is part of a Shadow & Free Peoples cycle of "Herald" cards that do stuff with the top card of your draw deck. This one really fits the bill of the herald - we'll see the herald later.

Breeland Herald
Minion • Man
Str: 6
Vit: 1
Sit: 2
Traitor.
At the start of the maneuver phase, you may reveal the top card of your draw deck. If it is a card, you may make each companion (except the Ring-bearer) resistance -2 until the regroup phase.
L U 82

[Braler]

Duplicitous Rogues - like it

Forgetful of Danger - seems good, one little formating thing though - as is it doesnt really need the spotting requirement since you can only play it on a companion skirmishing a Man, this might clean it up a bit which i know you like for this set

Breeland Herald - i like it, seems quite strong but probably still balanced

[Thranduil]

The thing is it can also play as a condition during the Shadow phase, in which case it needed some cultural enforcement.

It would be perfect if i could play your cards but not simply viewing...

Why thank you! If the PC gets going and I'm involved, you never know; you might be!

Okay, now we're getting onto the other theme for the culture which is aggressors and Dunland!

First, as promised, the herald.

Dunland Herald
Minion • Man
Str: 8
Vit: 2
Sit: 4
At the start of each skirmish involving this minion, you may reveal the top card of your draw deck. If it is a card, you may make each minion strength +1 until the regroup phase.
L U 88

And now 2 generic aggressors to bring us into the other theme:

Dunland Runner
Minion • Man
Str: 9
Vit: 2
Sit: 4
Tracker.
While you can spot a companion with resistance 5 or less, this minion is an aggressor (for each aggressor assigned to a skirmish, each Shadow card is twilight cost -1).
L C 90

Dunland Outrider
Minion • Man
Str: 9
Vit: 3
Sit: 4
Tracker. Aggressor (for each aggressor assigned to a skirmish, each Shadow card is twilight cost -1).
When you play this minion, you may foresee 1 (look at the top 1 card of your draw deck; place it on top of or beneath your draw deck).
L U 89

The Wrong Attention
Event • Skirmish
This event's twilight cost is -1 for each Shadow culture you can spot.
Discard a companion with resistance 5 or less skirmishing a minion.
L R 99

[Thranduil]

Not even 1 review? I know that they're quite vanilla, but at least some murmuring of agreement would be appreciated so that I know I'm not going completely crazy!..

Would it help if I spiced up the previous post with a huge fat card to work with aggressors? Well, now there is!

[Anvar]

Dunland Herald
Minion • Man
Str: 8
Vit: 2
Sit: 4
At the start of each skirmish involving this minion, you may reveal the top card of your draw deck. If it is a card, you may make each minion strength +1 until the regroup phase.
L U 88
I like the idea - it works with all cultures but only with a certain amount of cultural enforcement.

Dunland Runner
Minion • Man
Str: 9
Vit: 2
Sit: 4
Tracker.
While you can spot a companion with resistance 5 or less, this minion is an aggressor (for each aggressor assigned to a skirmish, each Shadow card is twilight cost -1).
L C 90

Dunland Outrider
Minion • Man

Sit: 4
Tracker. Aggressor (for each aggressor assigned to a skirmish, each Shadow card is twilight cost -1).
When you play this minion, you may foresee 1 (look at the top 1 card of your draw deck; place it on top of or beneath your draw deck).
L U 89
No problems with these.

The Wrong Attention
Event • Skirmish
This event's twilight cost is -1 for each Shadow culture you can spot.
Discard a companion with resistance 5 or less skirmishing a minion.
L R 99
Given that your set has a large number of aggressors already, does this event really need another cost reduction? I would just make it cost 6 or 7 and leave out the extra cost reduction. Makes it a bit neater.

[lem0nhead]

Sorry dude, just busy at the moment.

Dunland Herald
Minion • Man
Str: 8
Vit: 2

Sound.

Vit: 3
Sit: 4
Tracker. Aggressor (for each aggressor assigned to a skirmish, each Shadow card is twilight cost -1).

Ok...

The Wrong Attention
Event • Skirmish
This event's twilight cost is -1 for each Shadow culture you can spot.
Discard a companion with resistance 5 or less skirmishing a minion.
L R 99

Maybe should be 4 or less me thinks.

[Braler]

I like it

And now 2 generic aggressors to bring us into the other theme:

Str: 9
Vit: 2
Sit: 4
Tracker.

L U 89
Good

The Wrong Attention
Event • Skirmish
This event's twilight cost is -1 for each Shadow culture you can spot.
Discard a companion with resistance 5 or less skirmishing a minion.
L R 99

I like it, cross culture enforcement and aggressor mechanic. I think it needs to keep the high cost since it straight discards a companion.

[Thranduil]

Okay, thanks all!

I'll think more on the Wrong Attention and whether it needs that reduction or not. I wanted to encourage multiculture, and it seemed like a fair enough place to put it, but I'm not sure...

Now we've seen 1 massive event, well let's have another!

Savage Strength
Event • Skirmish
Wound a companion skirmishing a minion. If that companion has resistance 5 or less, wound that companion again.
L C 94

And now a little twist on the aggressor mechanic, playing things which aren't events:

Dunland Ambusher
Minion • Man
Str: 10
Vit: 2
Sit: 4
Tracker.
When you play this minion, you may spot another minion to make an unbound companion resistance -3.
Skirmish: Exert a minion to play this minion from your hand.
L C 87

This guy is part of that, but also encompasses my feeling that there should be cool unique characters aplenty at common. As you can see, these guys are trying to be as flexible as possible getting a bonus from being in culture, but not requiring you to.

•Wulf, Warrior of Dunland
Minion • Man
Str: 10
Vit: 2
Sit: 4
Fierce.
While you can spot a minion, Wulf's twilight cost is -2 during the skirmish phase.
Response: If a minion wins a skirmish, play Wulf from your hand; he is damage +1 until the regroup phase.
L C 100

And seeing as this seems to be the last card in the culture, let's have the component of a common Shadow cycle of 6 companion hate:

Cunning Men
Condition • Support Area
When you play this condition, you may foresee 1.
While you can spot 6 companions and a minion, each Shadow card's twilight cost is -1 during the skirmish phase.
L C 86

[Anvar]

Love the characters, but I think that Cunning Men might get a bit out of hand. With four of them out, for each minion you have assigned you make all your events cost -4. That seems a bit good to me. Should it be unique? Possibly with a discard effect?

Ah no, it doesn't do that. Aggressor is not currently a scalar keyword - it's all or nothing. Being an aggressor twice is like being fierce twice.

[lem0nhead]

Savage Strength
Event • Skirmish
Wound a companion skirmishing a minion. If that companion has resistance 5 or less, wound that companion again.
L C 94

Im still concerned that 5 resistance is awfully easy to get nearly all companions down to. I like this card but im not sure, just like i said about wrong attention, that it shouldnt be 4 or less.

Dunland Ambusher
Minion • Man
Str: 10
Vit: 2
Sit: 4
Tracker.
When you play this minion, you may spot another minion to make an unbound companion resistance -3.
Skirmish: Exert a minion to play this minion from your hand.
L C 87

Interesting, a mega common.

•Wulf, Warrior of Dunland
Minion • Man
Str: 10
Vit: 2
Sit: 4
Fierce.
While you can spot a minion, Wulf's twilight cost is -2 during the skirmish phase.
Response: If a minion wins a skirmish, play Wulf from your hand; he is damage +1 until the regroup phase.
L C 100

Yeah hes pretty cool.

Cunning Men
Condition • Support Area
When you play this condition, you may foresee 1.
While you can spot 6 companions, each minion is an aggressor.
L C 86

I hear what youre saying to anvar, but if you have lots of minions out that are each aggressors its still going to stack right? Which is REALLY lethal.
