A mediocre card in my opinion. An occasional skirmish-phase minion exertion just isn’t all that useful in most games, and a threat for each use can be a hefty price to pay. Could be a decent card in the right circumstances, but I was hoping for something much more exciting from Gwaihir.  |

| It’s not a bad card, but I was hoping for more "speed" from the swiftest eagle... liking being able to play him during a skirmish or something. |

When I came to Abraham I let him live just a moment longer. When I came to Moses I saved his life more than once. But the salmon... I regret to say I had a hand in its death.

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

| They should create an Eagle Keyword in preparation for the Hobbit. I would have to say I am not amazed at this card though. |

| Gwaihir should have been a companion instead. |

| You know, now I’m not so sure about the idea of companion eagles. Storyline-wise, it doesn’t make a lot of sense. The Eagles never really permanently helped out...instead, they came and went at convenient times to get the Fellowship out of a jam. |

And yet all Círdan did in the films was stand there while everyone else boarded the boat in the Grey Havens. Hmm, someone at Decipher has a bias for Elves... |

Good. That means I get more to run. 
Anyway, what about Uri, Sindri, Linnar, Durin III, Thorin III, Radagast, etc.? |
