Revision 1 · Player's Council · 2023-01-11 Collection Info Title Steward's Tomb Unique No Collectible No Set 18 - Treachery & Deceit Rarity U - Uncommon Card Number 139 Language EN - English Revision 1 (Player's Council) Release Date 2023-01-11 Notes That's right, ladies and gentlemen, it's a Greatest Hits series of abusable sites, and this one's the Big One. So big, in fact, that we couldn't help but split its effect in two: one card (the original) for the original heal-and-burden-removal-blocking effect anywhere except sites 3 and 6, and another (Rath Dínen (V0_1)) that only works at 3 and 6, reducing–but not eliminating!–the Fellowship's access to standard Sanctuary healing. This way an option is left open to Shadow decks needing to cut down on removing their hard-won wounds, without the utter demoralizing move of eliminating healing entirely. (Although, it does seem like something's missing, yeah? And there's still half a line open…anyone have any suggestions for what we might put there to sweeten the deal?)

Strategy

One of the most potent post-Shadows sites, Steward's Tomb is an effective site for the Shadow player because it can be played at a Sanctuary to prevent Sanctuary healing. This can be devastating for the Free Peoples player, particularly when facing a wounding or archery Shadow. Steward's Tomb is also effective against recursive wound prevention such as Throne of the Golden Hall and Armor of Khazad.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strong Versus...

• Decks that lack healing when played at Sanctuaries
• Healing and wound prevention

Weak Versus...

• Less effective if the opponent plays Mithlond or Neekerbreekers Bog after travelling here
• Effects that make characters unable to take wounds (Eowyn, Northwoman; Consorting with Wizards or Swept Away)
