This this looks like kinda a crazy card. A final resort. Cool.
It's a solid threat reduction card that anyone can include. It has decent cost to threat effect, but doesn't really help to avoid engagements or keep you in secrecy the way most other threat reduction could, it just stops you losing.
This makes it almost exclusively a late game card, so having only 1 or 2 in your deck makes sense.
People who play Core Gandalf, but mostly use his threat reduction power could consider this as a viable alternative.
And whenever I play Gandalf Hero I bring along these and Keen as Lances for anyone with Core Gandalf to choose a hot-swap, as they seem to be the least destabilizing generic alternatives.
