I m new...
This is my ultimate dream card.

Ok the first one is different but actually probably balanced and fairly useful, three times is harsh though.

The second....  What can i say? Erm thats a lot of text for a card!

Thx for ur opinion lol!

or maybe like this one

•Anduril, King's Blade
Artifact • Hand Weapon
Strength: +3
Vitality: +1
Bearer must be Aragorn.
Discard other weapons he bears. He is damage +1 and cannot bear other weapons.
If you cannot spot a threat ,Aragorn is defender +1.
Skirmish: Exert bearer to discard each minion he is skirmishing.
This artifact cannot be discarded by the Shadow player.

The first King's Blade seems fine and interesting (except I think it should grant Anduril's usual +2 strength instead of +3). But, I think your second King's Blade (I mean the second of your serious ones! ) is vastly overpowered. Defender bonuses are exceedingly powerful (or rather, are generally very highly costed) and discarding each minion is a huge ability that deserves at least 2 or 3 exertions on Aragorn like the first. Also, there are very few Shadow cards that can discard artifacts (Grond being the only one that comes to mind right now) so that text seems unnecessary.

All in all, some cool ideas here. Keep it up!

do I know you?
anyway
blade of legolas???
actually, the first anduril would almost be balanced if you cut the last party.  Maybe each gondor wraith is strength +X? that'd be kewl.

GImli's axe is crazy good. seriously. just because it cost a lot, doesn't mean it is balanced.
strength + 3 is fine, and making him damage + 1 instead of archer, and cut the ability. that would be balanced.  or make the biliaty X= region number, and exert him and an elf, or dwarf or something.

last legolas, his archery ability can current be done infinite times. just plain old broken.  same with the skirmish ability.

you have some creative juices flowing, but you need to think about balance.

Aragorn, Return of The King + Anduril, Blade of Frodo wil pwn everything


Btw, i see many members creating their whole set of DCs, i wonder how i can play those DCs

[Braler]

Ok, here we go.  The subtitle on this version of Anduril is a bit odd as it seems to imply that Anduril actually belongs to Frodo.  I really like the vitality ability but i would probably cut the last one.  This version of Aragorn is just WAY overpowered.  Both abilities are unlimited as stated there and also very cheap to play.  For balance im going to say you probably need to pick one and lose the other.  On top of that you also need to limit the one you choose in some way.  For instance you could say at the start of the Fellowship phase for that first ability.

[sickofpalantirs]

you'll still having problems with balance and way to many ability.
with the aragorn, just the regroup ability makes him good.  cut the fellowship one entirely, WAY too good.

why blade of frodo? frodo never wielded it.

Anduril's op too.  maybe exert him twice to wound a minion he is skirmishing twice, and cut the other ability and knock twilight cost to 4.

Officially, no one - that's because it's a illegal and breaches Decipher's copyright. Unofficially, I've made some templates which are pretty unprofessional, but they do their job...

•Anduril, Blade of Frodo
Artifact • Hand Weapon
Strength: +2
Vitality: +1
Bearer must be Aragorn.
Discard other weapons he bears. He is damage +1 and cannot bear other weapons.
Each other  companion is strength +X ,where X is Aragorn's vitality.
Skirmish: Exert bearer twice to discard each minion he is skirmishing.

I don't quite understand the subtitle - it's Aragorn's blade, not Frodo's. "Blade of Aragorn" would work perfectly well. And the strength bonus is really cool, but hugely powerful. At with that ability I don't think it should have the skirmish ability.

•Aragorn, Return of The King
Free People • Companon
Strength: 9
Vitality: 4
Resistance:8
Fellowship: Add to choose a card from your draw deck or discard pile and put it into hand.
Regroup: Discard a card from hand to heal Aragorn X times ,where X is the twilight cost of that card.

Again this subtitle is weird - Aragorn is not a "Return of the King" because "Return of the King" is not an adjective describing Aragorn. Card subtitles work best if you can say: "[Title] is (a/the) [Sub-title]". So for example, "Boromir is a Defender of Minas Tirith", "Frodo is Weary From the Journey". Aragorn is not a "Return of the King", it just doesn't make sense. A cool subtitle that would work is "King Returned". And as others have pointed out, this guy constitutes basically the best companion ever and is so powerful that no one would ever use any other Aragorns ever again, not even Thorongil who is stupidly powerful. As others are saying, choose one of those abilities and then limit it so that you can only do it once per phase and then it might be alright.

Btw, i see many members creating their whole set of DCs, i wonder how i can play those DCs

Currently, you can't! I am working on putting some of my stuff into Lackey CCG (so if you have that, you could play with them online) but as I said above, using a template based on Decipher's violates their copyright. One way they could be distributed is through Lackey in text only or using a template made from scratch.
