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

[ket_the_jet]

My issue with her as a follower is that it does not fit into the Return of the King set.

•Léowyn (V)
Companion • Man
Str: 2
Vit: 2
Res: 8
To play, spot a companion.
At the start of each of your turns, you may heal a companion with resistance less than Léowyn's.

I think there are lots of avenues you could take with this card - that's just one small example that I thought of in about 2 minutes.

I understand your point and don't expect you to change this week's card choice on my account. I am just expressing my thoughts that the direction this dream card set is hardly what I expected. Sure, I looked at the other winners in other rounds and saw the same thing...I suppose I just hoped that this set would be a little more...pure to the set.

I realised you wouldn't like my card pretty much the second I posted it. But there are many other things you could do.

•Léowyn (V)
Companion • Man
Str: 2
Vit: 2
Sig: Théoden
Villager.
Each time you liberate a site, you may spot 2 companions (or 2 companions with the Théoden signet) to draw 2 cards.

The more I think about it, Deor and Leowyn already addressed two major holes in the were healing (can't think of anything beyond I Am Here and Rohirrim Shield and the 6-2 Theoden) and winning skirmishes ( has the worst skirmish events...Deor somewhat addressed that).

And there are also different holes. What's to stop you making her the +2/+4 pump in companion form? Or play on the underdeveloped cards which strip cards from Shadow players' hands, like Morning Came? Or deal with possession recursion for the pre-Swordrack era?

or... remake her exactly the same! only a companion!

Why all the bitching?

[TelTura]

one man's bitching is another man's observational complaint.  I think he means a fair point; let him express his opinion if he wants.

[Cw0rk]

I have to agree Leowyn is a very good card. However, it sounds like a fun challenge. May the most original submission win.

[Cw0rk]

February 23rd now, can't wait to see your submissions guys.

[sharkey]

Yep! Can't wait to see what people thought up!

[Thranduil]

I apologise for the slight delay on posting these entries - I've been away and tired and busy; such is life.

But we can now get down to some pretty exciting business. Great ideas floating round, in particular one which I will post below.

As usual please vote for your favourite 3 in order and have your votes before next Tuesday 2nd March.

Good luck!

***********************************************

This is a bonus entry - please DON'T vote for it (for 2 reasons: first, it disobeys the rules of the contest by changing culture and subtitle, and secondly the person who entered it retracted it and entered a different card).

But, I thought it was innovative and cool and fun enough to post anyway! Enjoy!
