4 Misc MP
Balrog only. Playable at Barad-dur during the site fase if Flame of Udun is in play. The Balrog receives +2 General Influence.
This card represents the Balrog going into Barad-dur and having a friendly chat with Sauron which results in the Balrog being the only lieutenant of Morgoth left in Middle-Earth.
Note that this card has no attacks of it's own. It does however require Flame of Udun to be played on the turn the Balrog enters Barad-dur. This means the Balrog will have to face the Barad-dur attacks, including the 1@24 non-cancelable wounded-is-eliminated, on his own. That effectively means 1@10 (easy), 1@12 (easy), 1@24 (extremely hard and lethal).
As an alternative which doesn't require dream cards (aka can be integrated in a normal game
) one could use the following rule:If a character of a Balrog player defeats the 1@24 Maia attack at Barad-dur then the Balrog player receives 4 Misc MP's and 2 extra GI. In addition Barad-dur is never discarded and never returns to the play deck.
