This card is a reprint of another card, Pippin, Hobbit of Some Intelligence*, from The Fellowship of the Ring block. Please refer to that card for strategy and clarifications.

Alike all companions printed since the Shadows set, this card has the Resistance icon in place of a signet. But since it's word-for-word a reprint of an earlier card, it was ruled that it has the Gandalf signet of the original. Along with Boromir, Defender of Minas Tirith, it's unique in being the only signeted card not actually bearing the signet on the card itself.
