The Road Goes On! The Long Defeat

Nice idea Thranduil. It's good but balanced when compared to the other Haldir and to Glorfindel.

So I think the consensus is that legendary cards should follow the normal uniqueness rule for the dead pile. And it shall be so.

I told you I'd be using the adventure decks in ways never before done. How about this guy (I apologise for the lack of a spread of cultures, but I was using and a bit of for my test cases):

•Haldir, Guardian of Lothlórien
Companion • Elf
Str: 7
Vit: 3
Res: 6
Archer. Ranger. Valiant.
At the start of each turn, you must reveal a forest site from your adventure deck or discard Haldir.

I disagree that he is balanced. All that for 2 offset by loading your siteline with forests??? In whats going to be an elven deck surely? Elves loves forests!?!? There is no drawback, this is a tad OP! I would just about accept him if he was rare as he would be one awesome starting character. Its not like youre even going to necessarily run out of them because either a.) going first or b.) you're going second and have 9 forests anyway cos youre running elves/forestguls.

By the way i must say i REALLY like the idea, full kudos for the invention but this seems too easy imho.

Done get me started on how retarded Glorfindel is.

I don't think he's OP...Just make him Rare, and it'll be alright. On the other hand, I'm curious what adventage for him being a Valiant is. So far the only cards that are exploiting the Valiant keyword are Rohan cards, and even those don't involve spotting Valiant companions or elves, but Valiant men. It'd be rly interesting if u changed that and add some more elf-rohan colaboration.

Haldir, Emissary of the Galadhrim is strength 7 85% of the time and has a regroup ability. He comes from TT block where cards are weaker than everything that is post-shadows.

This card looks alright to me but I have to agree with lemonhead that when played with forest guls and their 9 forest sites, it is a bit lame.

but still, this guy is 100% strength 7, and also an archer, Ranger (which is one of the best unloaded keywords) an Valiant. Not OP, but Hunters-Block like, if you know what I mean

I see your argument. You're right that was the intention: to encourage you to go first. There may also be ways of removing terrain keywords from sites. But he still perhaps should be toned down.

These cards don't exist in vacuum. You need to look at my previous block Light & Shadow and Reflections II to see what I've done with the valiant keyword. Certainly it's much more widespread and flexible.
