Virtual DC Contest #3 - The Return of the King (Starting the FINAL ROUND!)

[Thranduil]

Okay apologies for the delay but holidays and New Year and such things are now out of the way enough that I can post this round's entries!

I was (almost) literally bowled over with the participation for this round -  I have not had this many entries in a DC contest I think since the first Two Towers round, or perhaps even in the Fellowship of the Ring contest. It really shows that there's still a vibrant community here who love this game and want to see new virtual cards!

So please vote for your favourite 3 (not your own entry!) in order of preference and the deadline will be Sunday 17th.

kewl stuff

[sharkey]

There seem to be quite a bit of work with Knight and Wraith with the new ones.

[ket_the_jet]

My favorite is 1, but it is backwards (see Southron Conqueror in the same set). Also, considering that this is a King Block dream cast, it does not have any application in Movie Block (although it helps considerably in Standard).

So to make my list of favorite three that span both playing Formats, which I believe these cards should do being in the "flex sets" (7-10), I'll go with:

4
13
5

Again, good job to everyone.

12 (I looked at this card and my mouth literally dropped - it's so cool and so easy I just love it, and it singlehandedly makes Wraiths a playable deck)
10 (love the flavour of Narsil and the lost kingdoms of Númenor)
3 (I very much enjoyed the idea and the ingenuity of having an Andúril that turns Aragorn into a Wraith, but I thought it needed some work)

Great stuff everyone!

I like 12's text "bearer must be aragon."

Everyone's says that. We pride ourselves on our creativity.
