Okay, some people were complaining that this card's effect does not really correspond to the title. I agree; the effect is more than of Sauron himself. So, I need some quick alternate suggestions for other hazard cards we can use instead of Waiting Shadow, preferably not rares, although it's okay if they are.

Here is what the new text will be, in case you need inspiration:

Playable on a site if more than one of opponent’s characters is there, or on a Haven if opponent’s Wizard or Balrog is there. At the start of the site phase, a company here must tap any of its untapped characters with the highest-mind (choose Wizard or any Ringwraith if possible), or the company may do nothing during the site phase. Cancels the effects
of Hall of Fire here. Cannot be duplicated
on a site.

How about No Way Forward? Cause it really stalls those Fallen Rada Treehuggers :D

I think I figured it out: Eye of Sauron.

The idea is that if you stay in any one place for too long, the "Eye" will catch you... (and he's most interested in the more powerful heroes). Kinda scary!

I don't know that I've ever seen the original used, so that's probably a good pick.

Sounds like an idea...

And the flavor text: "Big Brother is watching you."

Could you picture Sauron singing "I only have eye for you?" :)

Maybe Brian can sing, never heard him though :P

And its more like "Your just too good to be true, cant take my eye off of you."
