Well...not as spectacular as I had thought, but is a definite plus to the refuge style decks that the Gandalf culture seem to be going towards.

Bah. Another card that has a special ability that has nothing to do with its subtitle. I would have thought that it would have a bit of an ability like the original one given its subtitle and the fact that there is only one orc culture now... (yeah, we still have Sauron and Morc until King block rotates out...)

Yeah, not as usful as Glamdring, Foe-Hammer IMHO, and with the new Shadowfax, I don’t think this will see much play, but in Refuge deck with Woodland Onod, it could be pretty good. And it does give a damage bounus...

And then Gandalf’s Staff, Walking Stick...Good bye minions...Then stick him on Gandalf, Mithrandir...

I though high damage was a dwarf thing.

I hear you. Soon as I saw the title I thought ’oooo, Orc beatdown!’ and then saw it has nothing to do with it. Sigh.

As for the damage, that’s nothing new. Every version of Glamdring except Glamdring, Foe-hammer has had damage +1.

Oh, as for the card, I gave it a 5. I think there are other versions that are generally more useful, but this one is awesome in the right decks.

Also, if you're into DCs or RPGs (or even if you're not!), check out Realms of Middle-earth, the sequel to CG's "DC Adventure", Realms of the North!

Bland for something as significant as Glamdring. It’s not nearly as good as Glamdring, Foe-hammer. I give it a 3. This card really disappointed me. Sad

It’s not good for refuge! Heck, it’s a different Refuge!

Look, both cards need to discard companions! So you can really only use one with one companion discarded. And personally, I’d choose Refuge itself. Healing is better than wound prevention, IMO.

it would have certainly been nice if it had, right now nothing spectacular, and pretty much for-hammer’s pic enlarged
