some alternative versions of Still Draws Breath
« on: August 21, 2011, 04:09:40 PM »
Still Draws Breath is a card based on what is in my opinion the most awesome moment for Gimli in the trilogy -- when he stands on the tomb of his fallen relative and, with two axes in hand, bellows "Let them come! There is one dwarf yet in Moria who still draws breath!" Unfortunately the card Still Draws Breath sucks. It was too many cards like this that made it very difficult for a certain dwarf-loving, high school-aged kid to win games back in 2001.  :( (Hurrah for Reflections!)

Anyway, here are my ideas of what might have been. What do you think?

#1
(0)Still Draws Breath [Dwarven]
Condition
Plays to your support area.
Response: If a Dwarf wins a skirmish, discard a card from hand to heal that dwarf.

#2
(0) Still Draws Breath [Dwarven]
Condition
Plays to your support area.
Response: If a Dwarf wins a skirmish, exert that dwarf to make him strength +3 and damage +1 until the regroup phase.

#3
(0) Still Draws Breath [Dwarven]
Event
Response: If a Dwarf wins a skirmish, take up to two [Dwarven] skirmish events into hand from your discard pile.

#4
(0) Still Draws Breath [Dwarven]
Event
Response: If a Dwarf wins a skirmish, wound a minion.

#5
(0) Still Draws Breath [Dwarven]
Event
Response: If a dwarf wins a skirmish, heal that dwarf or discard all shadow conditions borne by that dwarf.

Having now written these, I perceive with satisfaction that a couple of them would be especially good at fending off Nazgul and Uruk trackers (those guys were always my dwarves' worst enemies!).

I like #4. It seems to fit well with the bloodlust Gimli hadd at that moment. I would however, change it to
[2] Condition-Support Area
Each time Gimli wins a skirmish, wound a minion.

I think they are all fine. Powerwise no brokeness that I can see, and some flavor as well.
