Five Versions Of: Lightfootedness

[ket_the_jet]

It is a common. It is an event. And it is terrible.

I don't have a grand vision on how to make this common filler card much better, but it doesn't take too much effort.

5.
Lightfootedness
Condition * Support Area
While you can spot 3 Elves, the minion archery total is -1.

4.
Lightfootedness
Condition
Bearer Must Be an Elf. Shadow conditions may not be played on bearer.

3.
Lightfootedness
Event * Response
If an Elf companion takes a wound, you may exert that Elf to wound a minion he or she is skirmishing.

2.
Lightfootedness
Event * Archery
Exert three Elves to discard an archer.

1.
Lightfootedness
Event * Archery
Heal an Elf.


Some are more powerful than others. My favorite, based on flavor, is actually number four. But 1 would probably be most popular with Legolas, Greenleaf, The Splendor of Their Banners, The White Arrows of Lorien, or Haldir's brothers.

yeah, 5 is my favorite.  4 seems a really strong.  No shadow conditions?  Way cool though!  i must admit, I like the idea behind #3, "If I win the skirmish, you get hurt.  If you win the skirmish, you still get hurt!"

I also like number 4, but with all the condition removal that elves have, I don't think it will be worth a spot in any elven deck.

This version crossed my mind:

Lightfootedness
Condition
Manuever: Discard this condition to make the minion archery total -2.

or as an event:

Lightfootedness
Event * Response
If an companion is about to take a wound, prevent it.

oh, i like your 2nd option hrcho. that is really cool

Number 1 would certainly see play ... it's like double shot but way more powerful. Might need a cost attached?

4 is the one I prefer the most. It's not too powerful. If anyone says it is, would you really put it in your Elf deck? I feel like it somehow fits well with the title 'lightfootnedness'.

How is Number 1 like Double Shot? The only way that I see it being helpful what I mentioned in the closing paragraph of the post. You couldn't play it after archery wounds were assigned...

Sorry .. not sure i made myself clear.

Heal to get one extra exert on Legolas Greenleaf = one extra wound that you choose to assign. Double shot is one extra wound they choose to assign. The power balance is well in favour of number 1 (hence why I suggested it may need to cost more). Just an opinion .. be it right or wrong.

Not bad. I'm not sure about this counting allies, however.

4.
Lightfootedness
Condition
Bearer Must Be an Elf. Shadow conditions may not be played on bearer.

I like the concept, but I'm not sold on the gameplay—I just wish it did something as well as sometimes frustrate your opponent.

3.
Lightfootedness
Event * Response
If an companion takes a wound, you may exert that Elf to wound a minion he or she is skirmishing.

Slightly bizarre card. I preferred hrcho's version of this, simply preventing a wound to an companion. Also note that you said companion first, then "that Elf". They should either both be Elf or both be companion.

2.
Lightfootedness
Event * Archery
Exert three Elves to discard an archer.

Hmmm... I'm not feeling the flavour of this one as much as the others.

1.
Lightfootedness
Event * Archery
Heal an Elf.

Nice. But I definitely wouldn't put it in the archery phase because of Greenleaf. Maneuver event would be great.
