Horns is a good idea, I'm almost surprised they haven't been introduced before. They should have banners also. (As far as I know there are no banners currently, but I'm only up to Heirs of Numenor).

Oh, news for LOTR LCG!

See you in months, when the next article comes by!

So with his staff... does it literally mean the "Doomed" card has to say "Doomed X" in order to get the cost reduced?

Or can it say Doomed 3, and it reduce the cost to Doomed 1?

Can't wait to try Grey Wanderer with Aragorn and Strider lol

There is one for the campaign in The Flame of the West.

Once the cards are up on Rings DB, I thoroughly intend to make a deck using Leadership Frodo, Leadership Denethor, and Saruman. It will be entitled: Frodo... We're your Friends!

I want to make one with Frodo, Saurman and Gollum. I'd give Frodo The One Ring and call the deck "Sleeping with one eye open". 😄

lol... ya, not sure if we would do very well with it... especially with Saurman wanting to combo with Doomed cards... lol.

I'm glad they went for 3/4/2 statline instead of 2/4/3.

Have one of them wear The One Ring, too -- now THAT would be an aggro deck!

Seriously, though, with a starting threat of 38 and Saruman's reliance on Doomed, you'd basically start in Valor mode, which could be quite interesting.

Is there a way to get a list of all Valor cards?

The second one I think

Also important thing. When a doomed 2 or less card is reduced by the staff, is it still counts as a doomed card played for his readying effect?

Also, something that irks me: On his hero card they type doomed with lower case d, "doomed", while on his staff they type Doomed with the capital D, "Doomed".

I think yes, it just become a Doomed 0 card.

It doesn't fit at all and would look at home in the Marvel LCG.

I also wonder if Strider Saruman could work with dat new contract.

Strider do seems one of the best 1 cost attachment to play with the new contract.

quest action for free + 2w boost . Basically you are recovering 2 hero quest actions. Great with elrond, Gandalf, Saruman, aragorn and any big hero with powerful spread stats.

Also. It's been awhile, and I'm not sure, so please, remind me. During the quest phase, can I exhausted Saruman to quest, play the freshly revealed far sight to scout 5 encounter cards, therefore readying Saruman, and then commit the reset of my characters to quest with newly obtained information? My gut and my fain recollection of the rules tells me I can't.
