Reflections II - Complete List

[legolas3333]

i would say lose the twilight reduction and make his second ability more powerful, like wound a minion.

[Cw0rk]

I like the twilight reduction. I would keep it. The abillity is alright.

[chompers]

I've never played evil men and haven't played against them much but they have alot of cards that target low resistance. How big an implication will this have on the wraiths? I like that they are resistance 0, and i hope this might be a weakness of the deck.

Onto Halbarad - seems neat enoough. Nice easy threat removal. And he might be free. All the companions seem really good and he fits in very well with the wraiths. I am still worried about balance, because the combinations of cards so far seems really good, maybe too good?

[Anvar]

I have to say I don't like like it. Not very Grokable. It just looks like a blend of complementing the different facets of Wraiths. I think you need to focus him down more. What specific task should he be for?

[Thranduil]

Interesting points I've seen here. I'll start with posting some guys that I think I am quite happy with, and then I'll come back to this one which I'm not.

•Elladan, Of the Grey Company
Companion • Elf
Str: 7
Vit: 3
Res: 7
Ranger.
Elrohir's twilight cost is -2.
Each time Elladan or Elrohir wins a skirmish, you may remove a threat.
R2 R 13

•Elrohir, Of the Grey Company
Companion • Elf
Str: 7
Vit: 3
Res: 7
Ranger.
Elladan's twilight cost is -2.
Each time Elladan or Elrohir wins a skirmish, you may heal a companion.

Wow. Those guys are awesome. Each time one of them wins, you can remove a threat AND heal a companion?! That's really good and will make them the universal starting companions, no matter what the deck is.

Make an Elrond that removes a burden when winning for the trifecta!

Edit: And ranger to boot!

Yeah power level is probably off - I seemed to be thinking high power when I made these cards... But I liked the concept enough.

Some power fixes:

spot some exhausted companions
exert them to get the effect

[ket_the_jet]

I don't mind the exerting idea. Or sticking with the event themes of the previous guys. Like, Each time you play an event in a skirmish involving X, do Y.

[Not a Zombie]

maybe something like:

 •Elrohir, Of the Grey Company
Companion • Elf
Str: 7
Vit: 3
Res: 7
Ranger.
Elladan's twilight cost is -2.
Each time Elrohir wins a skirmish during which you played an skirmish event, you may heal a companion.
R2 R 14

and similar for the other guy

[ket_the_jet]

I think there is too much going on with Sweet's version.
-wtk

Edit:
Thranduil, what do you think about keeping the power levels the same, but making the stipulations a little different. Like this:

Elrohir:
Each time Elladan wins a skirmish, X.

Elladan:
Each time Elrohir wins...

So each brother triggers when the other brother does something.

[Thranduil]

Some great ideas here - thanks guys!

I think ket's last idea is the one I like the best:

•Elladan, Of the Grey Company
Companion • Elf
Str: 7
Vit: 3
Res: 7
Ranger.
Elrohir's twilight cost is -2.
Each time Elrohir wins a skirmish, you may remove a threat.
R2 R 13

•Elrohir, Of the Grey Company
Companion • Elf
Str: 7
Vit: 3
Res: 7
Ranger.
Elladan's twilight cost is -2.
Each time Elladan wins a skirmish, you may heal a companion.

What do we think?

[legolas3333]

nice

[Cw0rk]

Sounds good.

[Witchkingx5]

I like them! 

[ket_the_jet]

I think that they are pretty well balanced now. Considering that they have the Ranger keyword, it is fair enough that they each help each other (but not themselves, necessarily).

What if they had ranger while you could spot a ranger (or spot Aragorn) and then give them something else like a defender bonus for one and a damage bonus for the other if you can spot Elrond.

So it might look like:
Elohir's twilight cost is -2.
While you can spot a ranger, Elladan is a ranger.
While you can spot Elrond, Elladan is defender +1.

And:
Elladan's twilight cost is -2.
While you can spot a ranger, Elohir is a ranger.
While you can spot Elrond, Elohir is damage +1.

Not really what you had in mind with the original cards, but I kind of like the idea that they are team players and conform to what is around them.
