ReleaseNotes
Vilya and its usual bearer Elrond, Herald to Gil-galad (3R13) are a common splash combo. For a one-time cost of 4 twilight, you get 1 heal per regroup phase and the ability to infinitely juggle a Shadow condition back to its owner's hand. This particular form of removal is far more annoying than simply discarding would be, since it bypasses discard protection and clogs your opponent's hand right before switching sides. Worst of all, with the +1 vitality, it grants Elrond the flexibility to do it twice in a pinch.
To rework this interaction, Vilya's exertion cost has been dropped to disconnect the HtGG requirement, and the Shadow player is granted the flexibility to either ditch the returned card or cycle another card out if they'd really rather keep it. And then to curtail Vilya's own flexibility, the ring itself is returned to hand, requiring the Free Peoples player to stop and hold onto the card for a turn if they wish to use it on multiple successive sites.
(The clog is now on the other foot; let’s see how you like it.)
Careful that you don’t accidentally kill Elrond while doing this; bonus vitality removal is one of the few guaranteed unblockable sources of death in the game.
