I like the game, movie, and books, but I don't like his portrait. There are a few other cards that I think have weak artwork. One of the dwarves looks like santa clause. Seriously, is it a man?
All elves are slender of build and have delicate features. Can´t very well make him too burly.
Sadly this heroe became useless after a few expansions appeared. I really would like to make this version usable again. What would you guys think about changing the "Limit once per round" restriction to "Limit once per phase", or even removing this restriction completely?
And besides, the artwork is awful, especially compared to his spirit version
I'd consider changing his ability to fit the new discard pile/Noldor theme. Not sure what it would take to make him really playable, but the first thought that I came up with was to use the "top of discard pile" like the other new Nolder cards. Reduce the cost by 1 if the top card is an ally. Increase the heal amount by 1 if the top card is an event. Something like that might make him interesting enough.
Something to consider is that while there is plenty of other heals to utilize in your player deck, they are taking up deck space and you have to draw them. He frees up deck-space so you don't have to include any.
The real issue is the resource cost since it is coming out of Lore. You may even just do "Discard a card or spend 1 resource to heal 1 dmg from 1 character." maybe add "If the discarded card is an ally, heal 1 additional dmg."
Maybe if the healing was free and once per round. As it is 1/5
This card is the only Lore hero with the warrior trait baked in. Interesting...
