Hmmmmm.. This Ap looks interesting i just hope to see more "big battle" action in the next 3 Aps.
New AP: Encounter at Amon Din

I will be shocked if we don't get Merry also in this cycle. I think I'm also going to wait until I see Merry before I start racking my brain too hard over Hobbit decks. I love Hobbits, but I'm not feeling it yet. Evading attacks is cool and all, but for solo play especially, it's often just a delay of the inevitable. For a focus of these cards, it's not even all that potent. Feint and Forest Snare are cards that do the same sort of thing, and are generally more useful.
I'd like to see Hobbit as a viable deck type, but this isn't close to enough.
Well - we need more hobbit allies to make hobbit viable as an entire deck theme - currently it looks to me like hobbit heroes secrecy (bilbo + pippin)with non- hobit allies would work, but theming the whole deck on hobbits won't. You can't not fight forever currently.
I'd like something like;
"Distracting Hobbit"
Cost 2
1
0
1

Exhaust Distracting Hobbit to prevent one enemy engaged with you from attacking this round. Distracting Hobbit loses 1 hp.
This would allow your other hobbits to gang up on the big nasty creatures without getting destroyed be effects the hobbit heroes just can't handle (Like, extra damage dealt over an allies hp being sent to another hero). Without this, hobbits only real chance is to quest race through the game and hope to get to the end.
I guess they could go with a desperate quest theme for the hobbits - that could be interesting to see as well.
Any thoughts on what the last AP will be? I'm guessing some epic battle with a billion stages. Who would be the hero? We've gotten the most powerful heroes in the final AP's of the cycles so far (Dain, Elrond), and we've already gotten a re-skinned Boromir, so who would be the most powerful character that fits into the theme and location of this cycle? Surely not Sam Gamgee?

well the climax is usually like you say- a hard quest with a/ lots of powerful enemies
not sure to as to the hero….sam certainly would be epic enough for me, he's one of the best of tolkiens creations. it would be nice to get a great hero who isnt particualrly powerful stats wise but has a really good ability

here here!
With Small Target i think Dark Knowledge is finally a card that could be used because you could peek at shadow cards every turn and if Hobbits are going to be focused on questing a -1 Will is not that bad. As for the Hero in the last pack i'd prefer a Godorian or a Gondor related.
I actually agree about the epic nature of Sam, it was just funny to think of him being on the same level as an Elrond or Dain. In my opinion, he should have the highest stats of any of the hobbits. In particular, he should have a very high willpower. If he doesn't, I'll be very disappointed from a theme perspective. It also would be very thematic if he can enhane Frodo or Frodo's ability specifically.

agreed- it should be some sort of huge boost if frodo leaves play.
