Name: Balrong of Moria

Status: Accepted

Proposal maintainer: Leon Huisman

Categories: Balance

original text:

Unique. The Balrog appears in Moria. The Moria site gains a second automatic-attack of 1 strike with 18 prowess and no body. If this 2nd automatic attack is defeated, this permanent-event is removed from play (i.e., the Balrog is defeated). If your opponent defeats this 2nd automatic-attack, he receives the marshalling points. In addition, unless Galadriel is at Lorien or she is not in play, Lorien is considered a Free-hold [F] (for purposes of healing and playing hazards). +2 prowess to all automatic-attacks at sites in Hollin, Redhorn Gate, and Wold & Foothills.

Errata: The automatic-attack of Balrog of Moria is 1 strike at 18 prowess and 9 body.

Problem:  As it is Balrog of Moria will never be played, since Sacrifice of Form or some preparable combo will give your opponent an easy 5 MPs.

Solution:  Give the Balrog some body

Pros:  Perhaps the card will be used sometimes, it is supposed to be rather impressive

Cons:  Tell me please

Yes; this one should have been done long ago.

Great idea!
The card was in my first Starter pack and I always loved playing it - although indeed I was pretty disappointed when my opponents started to count on it and packing the above mentioned cards to score some easy MPs.

(First post after lurking for long time, hello everyone!)

Sure, I just remembered it. I'll change status to accepted.

Just want to point out that the Balrog as an automatic attack also profits from his own card's auto-attack-boost. Eventually, he is 1 strike with prowess 20.

I love BoM!  Its especially fun to play tidings when your opponent moves to or stops off at moria  

And it never hurts to throw it in the hazard part/sideboard of a minion deck  :)
