Re: TLHH Virtual Set #1

[Tbiesty]

Good stuff!  If you guys go with 1 The One Ring, 6 Free Peoples, and 6 Shadow cards, that sounds like a good number.

Here's a possible set that I think would work.

Ring:             V1R1   The One Ring, Isildur's Bane

Companion:  V1F2   Arwen, Lady Undomiel
Ally:             V1F3     Sigewulf, Brave Volunteer
Other:          V1F4     Stump and Bramble
                    V1F5     Days Growing Dark
                    V1F6     Change of Plans
                    V1F7     Fearing the Worst

Major Minion: V1S8     The Witch-King, Deathless Lord
Minor Minion: V1S9     Grima, Son of Galmod
Other:            V1S10   The Weight of a Legacy
                      V1S11   Men of Harad
                      V1S12   The End Comes
                      V1S13   Leaping Blaze


Ideas for the three "flagship" cards:

•The One Ring, Isildur's Bane (Something to encourage an urgency to destroy the ring, i.e. double-moving)
Str: +1
Res: +1
Each time the fellowship moves during the fellowship phase, add a burden.
Response: If the Ring-bearer is about to take a wound, he or she wears The One Ring until the regroup phase. While the Ring-bearer is wearing The One Ring, each time he or she is about to take a wound, add a burden instead.

•Arwen, Lady Undomiel  (Something to work better with elven allies and sanctuaries)
Companion • Elf
Strength:6
Vitality: 3
Signet: Gandalf
While the fellowship is at a sanctuary, Arwen is strength +2.
Response: If Arwen is about to take a wound, exert or discard an ally to prevent that wound.

•The Witch-King, Deathless Lord (Something better to support the twilight wraiths in Ents of Fangorn)
Minion • Nazgul
Strength:14
Vitality: 4
Site: 3
Twilight. Fierce.
Each time The Witch-King wins a fierce skirmish, you may exert a companion for each twilight minion you spot.

Other thoughts:
 -- Days Growing Dark could act like Earthborn does for unbound hobbits, but for Smeagol and Gollum instead. Something like that should enhance that Hobbit/Smeagol mechanic.
 -- Grima, Son of Galmod could allow Isengard Men to have some extra support.
