And finally my votes:

1) #1 (I love the idea, but he needed a second ability)
2) #2 (I like the take on Black Captain for his Orkish minions, but I thought the Thrall of the One aspect made it more like 2 ideas and I would have liked it better had it had only 1)
3) #5 (one of the best flavours to go with the Witch-King, Black Captain (P) image, also honourable mention in this area to #3).

This gives our winners for this round:

1) Sweet_Stuff (#2)
2) MR. Lurtzy (#10)
3) Thranduil (#7)

So

to all that lot (it was very close between 1st and 2nd)!

I will post the entries with their true authors in a second, and then I will continue with the next round.

So I feel like we've had enough of the characters for the moment, so the next round is a very disappointing artifact:

As with the last 2 cards, this one is okay, but pales horribly in comparison to other versions, such as Flame of the West in the same set, or Sword That Was Broken.

Let me restate the rules for this contest. Any particular comments I have will be underlined below.

1) Have the same title (with a (V) attached to the end)
2) Have the same twilight cost, culture, type and sub-type
3) Have whatever attributes or attribute modifiers you think appropriate
4) Have a different text, maybe similar, but could also be on completely different lines. Again going back to the basics of flavour is I think the key to this round: what does Andúril do? and particular for this subtitle, what does a King do? and what about his blade, one of the symbols of his kingship? what about the picture? or the lore text?
5) Have a lore which you want, it's really up to you - you can keep the same lore or put in your own.

So you're card should look quite a lot like this:

•Andúril, King's Blade (V)

Artifact • Hand Weapon
Strength: +X
Vitality: +Y
Res: +Z
Game text.
"Lore text."
7 V 80

I like to leave a week for entries to come in, but due to the holidays this is going to be an extended deadline. So this time the deadline should be midnight GMT on Sunday 3rd January - so you have about 2 weeks. (If it's more convenient for people going away or having family stuff etc., then the deadline can be extended beyond that - let me know!). A few days before, if you've said that you want to participate and haven't given me an entry, I will be pestering you via PM, so do get them in as quickly as possible!

Entries should be submitted to me by PM (or email if you prefer).

So all that remains for me to say now is, good luck!

I bet its not, thats a very "Un-Thran" card, his usually is either a burrito or an interesting game mechanic!

Boosh.

There's been a reason I've been so slow with moving onto the

culture in Back to the Light!

I do apologise that I haven't been around on the forums - I expected to be around more just following the new year - and so I have not had time to comment on everyone's entry. So I am extending the deadline until Sunday 10th so that I do indeed have time, and I will get onto making comments fairly soon!
