Alright, sticking with site control this time, but also introducing something I have shamefully little of thus far with the Southrons...archery! #-o I'll probably focus on that in the near future. Maybe. :P Anyway...enjoy!

[6]•Southron Headman [Raider]
Minion • Man
Strength: 11
Vitality: 3
Site: 4
Southron. Archer. Ambush [1]. Fierce. Hunter 1.
To play, spot a [Raider] minion.
Regroup: Exert Southron Headman and discard a Southron to take control of a site.
Only the fiercest of a fierce race rise up to command entire Southron tribes.

I found myself laughing at how many keywords I put on this guy, but they all seemed to fit with other Southrons in the set, so...yeah, I went a little nuts. Hopefully the cost justifies it all.

[3] Southron Archer [Raider] (reprint)
Minion • Man
Strength: 6
Vitality: 2
Site: 4
Southron. Archer.
While you can spot another Southron, the minion archery total is +1 for each site you control.
"‘They have passed on to the Black Gate; but more may follow.'"

I figured he made a PERFECT reprint to help boost archery and site control strategies all at the same time.

[4] Southron Marksman [Raider]
Minion • Man
Strength: 7
Vitality: 3
Site: 4
Southron. Archer. Hunter 1.
Archery: Exert this minion and remove a threat (or spot another [Raider] archer and 2 sites you control) to wound a companion (except the Ring-bearer).
From their high vantage point, Southron archers can quickly eliminate unprepared opponents on nearly any battlefield.

Since Southrons in this set are proficient at adding threats, I figured it wouldn't hurt to turn them (or your controlled sites) into some good old-fashioned [Raider] wounding. :twisted:

That was always a cool card. I used to have a Southron Archery deck and it had him in it...

[4] Southron Marksman [Raider]

Strength: 7

Southron. Archer. Hunter 1.
Archery: Exert this minion and remove 2 threats (or liberate a site you control) to wound a companion.

Maybe make it [5]?

Yeah, he seems fine - his low strength is offsetted by the potential of his ambush and archer of horrible death!

Meh - he's a bit bad, unless you actually have some feasible ways to take sites for Southrons (apart from Siege Troop :lol:)

Um... Except the Ring-bearer? Otherwise, I would increase his strength and drop his vitality to 2.

I'd and remove one threat would be fine...up to you though.

Seems overly costly ability plus it hurts rb.

Tweaked the Marksman, excluding the Ring-bearer (#-o) and making the ability a little less costly. Good now?

No, the Marksman is far too complex now - i would just remove the parentheses or leave it as "remove a threat (or spot a site you control)".

The Marksman could just as easily be split up into two cards, you know. One for threat strategies - one for site control.

I wholehe....

Wait a minute! I dont agree its overly complicated. How hard is it to understand or follow? The parenthesis hardly makes it complex, although i do think EL has the beginnings of a point regardless.

not every card has to be useful...not every card has to be amazing...splitting it into 2 versions would make 2, ok cards. both useful in the proper circumstances but not amazing.
