Bearer must be a Dwarf.
Each time a minion loses a skirmish to bearer, you may make a minion strength -1 until the regroup phase. The Shadow player may discard 2 cards from the bottom of their draw deck to prevent this.

Part of the discard deck rework. 1 top card -> Shadow must exert a minion or discard the bottom card.
Remember that if you win a skirmish, you get to choose between resolving this card or the skirmish first, and you almost always want to choose the skirmish, lest your opponent choose to exert the minion you’re about to turn to paste.

Strategy[edit]
Any strength-boosting possession is a welcome addition to any deck, and Dwarven Axe is no exception. Besides having a 0 Twilight cost, and thus free transfer from Dwarf to Dwarf during your Fellowship Phase as needed, the ability is a staple to many of the discard decks around. Also, makes Axe Strike (1C3)
a much better pump for bearer, allowing Gimli, Son of Gloin (1R13)
, Glóin, Friend to Thorin (2R7)
and Frór, Gimli's Kinsman (2C6)
to beat strong minions without much effort.
Strengths and Weaknesses[edit]
Strong Versus...[edit]
- Small decks
- Low or middle strength minions
- High strength (or multiple) minions with no damage bonus (meant to overwhelm)
Weak Versus...[edit]
