Re: Light & Shadow - Rohan

Erm ok, to what end is she useful?

She's not supposed to be very good. I'm trying to design this set with drafting capabilities (mainly because I love drafting MTG and I think it adds a whole different element to play and design) and so she would have her uses as a common unyielding companion who can get very high resistance. Obviously, I can't see myself putting her in a constructed deck, though I might if I just needed another companion for a Rohandalf G for Grand build.

Okay, now all that's left of are some characters. First, let's have some Éomer goodness (Éodig is some title that Éomer gets after he's king, but I can't remember what it means!):

•Éomer, Éodig
Companion • Man
Str: 7
Vit: 3
Res: 7
Each other companion's twilight cost is -1.
While Éomer is assigned to a skirmish, each other companion with resistance 3 or more is strength +1.

•Eomer, Forthwith Banished
Companion • Man
Str: 7
Vit: 3
Res: 7
Unyielding. Valiant.
While you can spot a companion, Éomer's twilight cost is -1.
Each time Éomer wins a skirmish, you may wound a minion with strength less than his resistance.

And I've been trying to use cool fun characters that have been underused in the past, so here's one:

•Grimbold, Warrior of Rohan
Companion • Man
Str: 6
Vit: 3
Res: 6
Knight.
At the start of each skirmish involving Grimbold, you may reveal the top card of your draw deck. If it is a card, you may exert each minion Grimbold is skirmishing.
