| '''Shadow of the Past''' is the first Virtual Set (VSet) released by the [[Player's Council]]. Design was headed by Finarfin and development by ketura.
| |
| | |
| As the PC's first foray into original card creation, the designers were keen to avoid certain pitfalls that earlier fan projects had fallen into, most notably that of creating a set so large that it collapsed under its own weight. Thus the group decided to make V1 a supplement to an existing format, rather than a standalone format as so many other projects had done. As a first step, it was only sensible to attach V1 to [[Fellowship Block]].
| |
| | |
| SOTP had largely two design goals: first, to try and service certain underdeveloped strategies that existed but could not flourish with the FOTR card base, and second to mix the meta up by adding brand new concepts.
| |
| | |
| Old concepts revisited included:
| |
| * {{C|Moria}} Tentacles (see: {{Card|Vile Tentacle}}, {{Card|Out of Dark Waters}})
| |
| * {{C|Sauron}} in general (see: {{Card|I See You}})
| |
| * {{C|Isengard}} Weather (see: {{Card|Saruman, Fell Voice}}, {{Card|Frostbite}})
| |
| * {{C|Ringwraith}} Twilight Nazgul (see: {{Card|V1_40}}
| |
| * Frodo and Aragorn [[Signets]] (see: {{Card|I Would Have Gone With You To The End}}, {{Card|We May Yet}})
| |
| * {{C|Elven}} Tales (see: {{Card|Library of Rivendell}}
| |
| | |
| New concepts included:
| |
| * {{C|Elven}} Ally and {{C|Gandalf}} synergy (see: {{Card|Olorin}}, {{Card|The White Council}})
| |
| * Adding burden removal options for more cultures (see: {{Card|Gilraen's Memorial}})
| |
| * {{C|Isengard}} card tutoring (see: {{Card|Murder of Crows}})
| |
| * The introduction of the term [[Item]], meaning "[[Artifact]] or [[Possession]]" (see: {{Card|Vengeful Naugrim}}, {{Card|The Darkness Grew}})
