Now this is the most interesting site I’ve seen in a long while! Remove a companion from the dead pile, and that companion no longer counts for character uniqueness, or for the Rule of Nine. A large-fellowship deck like Ents could potentially play ten companions over the course of the game.
More importantly IMO, any deck that runs multiple copies of companions (like the typical 4x Gandalf splash) can use Falls of Rauros as a sort of insurance policy in case it becomes necessary to sacrifice a companion in the early game. Lose a companion you know you’ll draw again, have a nice funeral and send the body down the Falls, then just play another copy! |

| A very interesting card, one that bends and breaks the Rule of 9 to the maximum. I think it’s very good for the Freeps. You can get companions out of the dead pile and replay them, and you can break that nasty Rule. Time for human shields, people! |

| This card make Three Hunters decks much more reliable. Now, if one of the Hunters dies, you can easily bring him back to life. |

This would be cool with Sam, Nice Sensible Hobbit. Start Frodo R-B, smeagol, and sam. Let frodo die, ring goes to sam. Flip out this site, remove frodo. Then, play Frodo, Frenzied Fighter. Now, you have an R-B that can never be overwhelmed unless his strength is tripled, plus you could replace him with frodo in a skirmish.
All in all, a very good card, mayybe a bit broken... |

| Very probably abusable. You play it as site 4 then replace it and play the next site etc. possible bringing in 3 companions back. Another Combo if you have multiple Gandalfs, Borne Far away. You get your first gandalf but your key companion just died, so using borne far away you switch places then use falls of ruaros to pave the way for your next copy. |

| This site is the reason to play mount doom as site 4. What a broken card... |

Or you could just start Frodo, Frenzied Fighter... |

I can’t wait to pair it with new merry/pippin, farmer maggot, ent deck. I can hypothetically play 13 companions throughout the course of the game. (Thanks to warmed up a bit)
