Preliminary Discussion: Lady Redeemed

[Crabby Imposter]

Why we're discussing legality, can we *please* ban Galadriel, Lady Redeemed?  Every single time someone uses her I want to do three things:
1) punch them in the face;
2) immediately quit;
3) never play LOTR again.
I can't do 1, haven't done 2 yet, and 3 is becoming tempting as I see more and more players using her, then justifying their actions by saying "I see other people using her!" GAH!!

[Kralik]

Better start a new thread for that one once Frodo is resolved. I know that she is banned either officially or unofficially in most circles.

Than make it happen, since I agree with Crabby Imposter. But Jm, since I know Smeagollum plays LR, I can punch him in the face for you. He lives 200 kilometer from my house. More than happy to make that effort.

wtk: "I saw Lady Redeemed  yesterday. As much as I hate her and it crippled my deck, my honest rationale is, "If you use her, I have all rights to pout and call you a sullen #$&*@! and #$&*@! and whatnot the whole game and not be a good sport.""

That's the tactic I normally use.  I'd really like to be able to punch them in the face though.  That would make be feel better.  So does somehow pulling off a win against GLR, especially a shadow kill.  Few things excite me in LOTR as much as killing Lady Redeemed.

I absolutely agree 90% of the time.  Unfortunately, I am also a dedicated elven player and am pretty much convinced that LR is necessary against Corsairs and to a lesser extent Besiegers.  I'm not saying that it's impossible to win without her, but it's very unlikely.  In King block, Possessions and Conditions were meant to be transitory, and without LR Elves have no possession removal.

Of course, against everything else she is utterly broken.

[Kralik]

On the other hand (not that I am for LR), should Elves have possession removal? Hobbit, for example, have neither Possession nor Condition removal. But they are great healers! Pros and cons...

[Gil-Estel]

Indeed, each culture has their own gimmick. LR doesn't have a place in the culture, since she opens doors to options they shouldn't have. She makes Elves practically unkillable. Even when you can expect everyone to play Terrible as the Dawn, you can anticipate by packing wound prevention and Aiglos, Nenya and Tale of Gil Galad on her. Stand against Darkness is nice vs self assign besiegers and even then, you are likely to pack a whole bunch of events so skirmish shouldn't be too big of a problem.

Exactly! Kinda like Dwarfs can kill just about any minion and choke reasonably well, but they don't have condition/possession removal. Oh, wait, BRC

[Kralik]

Right then. Let's here some more feedback on whether LR should be removed from Movie block.

[MR. Lurtzy]

This would be the TLHH version of Movie Block right? Because as far as I'm concerned no one can change any offical format.

TLHH version of anything is the purpose of all of these forums. "House Rules."

[Legolis]

I think she should stay, she is hot!

[Tbiesty]

I agree that LR, as printed, should not be allowed. It would need to changed before allowing it back.

[Ringbearer]

Ban the #$&*@!!

[hrcho]

Fools, you have no perception!
The stakes we are gambling are frighteningly high!
We must crush her completely,
So like Lady of Light before her, this Lady Redeemed must die.
For the sake of the nation, this Lady Redeemed must die.

Must die, must die, this Lady Redeemed must die.*

*Off topic: this is my favorite scene and song from the remake of Jesus Christ Superstar. The voices and the singing is sooo much better. Do not respond to this, it's off topic.
