Saruman's Power!!!!!! 1 card to kill them all!
sure? --> only expanded, not standard!
ai, you have tokens on your artifact...evil knievel!
ah!
As you can see there is NO WAY to stop those elves... if Gil-Galad were X-listed you could have a little chance... but with him...
no, there is no way... You only need a good elven deck and run... your shadow don't need to kill because no one can kill you... unless your opponent is faster and has got move limit +X and your shadow don't kill him...
reasons for this statement?
1.) Elves are the strongest companions with the highest vitality and the highest resistance
2.) Elves are the companions with the best game text or special ability --> Elven companions are the best companions
3.) They have so much impossible to discard artifacts... (Hobbits got Scouring, o.k.)
4.) you cannot really get rid off elven conditions due to Gil-Galad
5.) They heal more than they can get wounds
6.) They remove threats better than anyone else
7.) They discard conditions better than anyone else (some shadows need those conditons otherwise they do not work)
8.) They are the only fellowship who can play real archery
The Elves were very strong before Gil-Galad High-King of the Noldor or
Namarie came out - now THEY ARE broken - the whole culture!
Once got a token on an elven artifact and gil-galad is in play... there is no chance to do anything against it...
But I have got an idea:
Errata:
Namarie:
- must be unique
- At the start of the maneuver phase you may remove TWO token to discard a condition
Gil-Galad, High-King of the Noldor- Maneuver: ...
- At the start of the regroup phase you may remove TWO token to play a condition from your discard pile
Then it would be balanced and infinite loops could be avoided.
