Revision 1 · Player's Council · 2023-01-11 Collection Info Title They Sang as They Slew Unique No Collectible No Set 7 - Return of the King Rarity C - Common Card Number 256 Language EN - English Revision 1 (Player's Council) Release Date 2023-01-11 Notes Another barely-used card, and like Isengard, Rohan struggles somewhat to stand out in Movie. This also continues our long-term plans to make burden removal (and other kinds of removal) available to more cultures to lower the bar for what cultures are "allowed" to participate at high levels. This is the cheapest of the burden options we have introduced, with both Sam, Son of Hamfast (1C311) and Gilraen's Memorial (V1_22) requiring 2 (or so) exertions per burden removed. They Sang is 1:1, at the cost of needing multiple mounted companions with spare vitality, and not being (easily) repeated as an Event.
