Decipher Notes:

This level of permanent resource denial undermines the Shadow number curve on sites.
Short, sweet, to the point. Running 1-3 of these on any or all of Arwen, Aragorn, and Boromir is a pain in the twilight pool, and when combined with other Shadow number affecting cards, it just stacks up too much.

We've taken the smallest possible change here and made the card unique, restricting its impact to no more than per move. The stealth keyword has also been added for future tinkering.

Strategy[edit]

A twilight-choking condition, No Stranger to the Shadows is a non-unique condition that effectively cancels the moving penalty for the companion bearing it. With three Ranger options in Fellowship of the Ring Block, the twilight pool from moving could potentially be reduced to effectively paying for just the characters moving (when combined with other effects like Bill the Pony, Sting and Gimli, Dwarf of the Mountain Race). With the additions of Ring-Bound rangers in the Two Towers block, No Stranger to the Shadows had the potential to grow too much in twilight choking capabilities, shifting it to the X-List.

Strengths and Weaknesses[edit]

Strong Versus...[edit]

  • Works well in any strategy with Rangers
  • Expensive cultures, such as [isengard] and [Wraith]

Weak Versus...[edit]

  • Cheap shadows
