Re: TLHH Virtual Set #1: Preliminary Discussion

[Tbiesty]

I cannot recall if we've discussed this or not, but I think we need to determine which formats we plan to eventually allow these virtual cards in. The reason I ask is because figuring that out will aid us in designing the cards (and the sets) themselves.

Here's a way I think we could organize it that I think would work nicely.


Example:
[Virtual Block #1: "Remaking the Worst (or something better sounding)"]
  Virtual Set #1 would be virtual versions of Fellowship block cards.  (Allowed in FOTR, TS, and Movie)
  Virtual Set #2 would be virtual versions of Towers block cards.  (Allowed in TS and Movie)
  Virtual Set #3 would be virtual versions of King block cards.  (Allowed in Movie)

[Virtual Block #2: "<insert theme here>"]
  Virtual Set #4 would be virtual versions of Fellowship block cards.  (Allowed in FOTR, TS, and Movie)
  Virtual Set #5 would be virtual versions of Towers block cards.  (Allowed in TS and Movie)
  Virtual Set #6 would be virtual versions of King block cards.  (Allowed in Movie)
...

Note: Almost all the cards we currently have selected for Virtual Set #1 are Fellowship block cards,
         so deferring the few that are not Fellowship block until Virtual Set #2 or 3 should be reasonable.
         (e.g. The Witch-king, Deathless Lord could be the flagship character for Virtual Set #2)

By using this strategy, here is how Virtual Set #1 could look:

Code                      Card                                                                  Notes
V1*R01                   The One Ring, The Ruling Ring                         not too universal that it makes others obsolete
V1GA02                   Gandalf, The Grey Pilgrim                                flagship character
V1DW03                  Gimli, Dwarf of Erebor                                          
V1SH04                   Fearing the Worst                                           fighting Hobbits?
V1EL05                   Lightfootedness                                                
V1GO06                  Strength of Kings                                                
V1WA07                  Beauty is Fading                                              
V1MO08                  Goblin Archer                                                     archery and/or corruption
V1IS09                    Alive and Unspoiled                                           search cards and/or corruption
V1SA10                   The Weight of a Legacy
