More Virtual Cards (Cruel Caradhras, take II)

[lem0nhead]

Gah sorry stupid lem0n for a head. Erm maybe add when you play this you may remove 1? LOL

[Thranduil]

Thanks!

Forests of Lothlorien (V) which inspired me to do these followers does a similar thing already by removing when followers are transferred.

Maybe I should just leave them for now and concentrate on lóthlorien allies.

I would make the middle one's aid cost Spot an elf not exert as it aint that useful, and the last one's aid 1.

I respectfully disagree with my fruity colleague...exert to wound is very useful. though could cut cost to 1

fine

[Anvar]

I think SoP that you have missed the vital point with these DCs.

You can't change the cost on a virtual card.

Anvar

[sickofpalantirs]

dangit...keep forgetting...then they are all fine.

[Thranduil]

I respectfully disagree with my fruity colleague...exert to wound is very useful. though could cut cost to 1

In all fairness to lem0n, the card was quite different when he posted that review!

And here is an updated Forests of Lothlorien with a partner:

Forests of Lothlórien (V)
Condition
To play, spot 3 Elves (or 3 followers).
Plays to your support area.
Each time an follower is transferred to a companion, you may remove .
"'Alas for Lothlórien that I love! It would be a poor life in a land where no mallorn grew.'"
3 V 15

Songs of the Blessed Realm (V)
Condition
To play, spot 2 Elves (or 2 followers).
Plays to your support area.
Each companion bearing an follower is resistance +1.
1 V 61

So basically, I split FoL 's abilities into 2 cards which hopefully are each useful.

Thranduil

[sickofpalantirs]

they are both fine. though forests of lothlorien should possibly be unique...or can you not chance that?

[Thranduil]

Correct, I cannot change anything above the type/sub-type bar.

[Thranduil]

Let's have some more followers then.

• Calaglin, Elf of Lórien (V)
Follower
Aid - add a threat.
Bearer must be an Elf archer.
Archery: Exert bearer to exert a minion. Bearer does not add to the fellowship archery total.
"'We have been keeping watch on the rivers, ever since we saw a great troop of Orcs going north toward Moria.'"
3 V 10

• Dínendal, Silent Scout (V)
Follower
Aid - add a threat.
Bearer must be an Elf.
Each minion skirmishing bearer is strength -2 for each wound on them.
"He was almost certain that he could hear stealthy movements... Not Elves; for the woodland folk were altogether noiseless in their movements."
3 V 12

• Celeborn, Lord of Lórien (V)
Follower
Aid - discard an card from hand.
Maneuver, Archery or Skirmish: Exert bearer to transfer an follower from your support area to another companion.
"They were clad wholly in white... and the hair of Lord Celeborn was of silver long and bright..."
1 V 34

[DáinIronfoot]

• Calaglin, Elf of Lórien (V)
Follower
Aid - add a threat.
Bearer must be an Elf archer.
Archery: Exert bearer to wound a minion. Bearer does not add to the fellowship archery total.
"'We have been keeping watch on the rivers, ever since we saw a great troop of Orcs going north toward Moria.'"
3 V 10

Instant Greenleaf...just add a little salt and Calaglin!

This could get a little more out of hand than Greenleaf did with high-vitality Elves like Elrond and Gil-galad though...hmmm. I think I'd like it better if it provided a small bonus (strength +1 or some resistance) and instead exerted minions.

• Dínendal, Silent Scout (V)
Follower
Aid - add a threat.
Bearer must be an Elf.
Each minion skirmishing bearer is strength -2 for each wound on them.
"He was almost certain that he could hear stealthy movements... Not Elves; for the woodland folk were altogether noiseless in their movements."
3 V 12

A modern-day Feathered, one of my all-time favorite cards. I like, though again, a small resistance bonus or something would be a nice touch. Or perhaps provide -3 per wound if bearer is an archer or at a forest or something.

• Celeborn, Lord of Lórien (V)
Follower
Aid - discard an card from hand.
Maneuver, Archery or Skirmish: Exert bearer to transfer an follower from your support area to another companion.
"They were clad wholly in white... and the hair of Lord Celeborn was of silver long and bright..."
1 V 34

Not sure WHY you would want to use his ability in maneuver, aside from perhaps mass healing with certain ones, but okay. The potential is there for this to be BIG, especially with Calaglin (who I'd DEFINATELY change to just exerting now).

[sickofpalantirs]

gonna be gone for 2 days...review when I get back....

[Thranduil]

It's so that you can circumvent follower's aid costs and replace them with exertions.

Thanks for the review! Cards changed.

Thranduil

[Thranduil]

Well let's have some unusual followers. The first is unusual because she is normally a companion and in this case forms part of a cycle of followers with subtitles indicating their lineage (for example, Gimli, Son of Glóin (V), Legolas, Son of Thranduil (V), Boromir, Son of Denethor (V) are all followers). The second is unusual because she has a weird ability, which I'm sure you'll be able to tell.

• Arwen, Daughter of Elrond (V)
Follower
Str: +1
Aid - exert an Elf (or Aragorn)
If bearer is Elrond or Aragorn, bearer is resistance +2.
Each minion skirmishing bearer loses all gametext keywords.
"Long she had been in the land of her mother's kin, in Lórien beyond the mountains, and was but lately returned to Rivendell to her father's house."
1 V 30

• Galadriel, Lady of Light (V)
Follower
Str: +1
Vit: +1
Res: +1
Aid - add a threat.
To play, spot 3 Elves (or 3 fellowship companions).
Each time Galadriel is transferred to a companion with twilight cost X, you may choose a Shadow player who must discard their Shadow card with twilight cost X from play unless that player removes .
"Very tall they were, and the Lady no less tall than the Lord; and they were grave and beautiful… and the hair of the lady was of deep gold..."
1 V 45
