Has some small combo potential with The Eagles Are Coming! (THfG) and others, but still very expensive.

Agree with xanferatu. Totally inefficient.

it starts getting better with cards like zigil miner and others that take advantage from sorting and knowing the top card of your deck...

A strong effect, but very expensive. Sees play in Zigil Miner decks and worth keeping an eye on for other situational uses.

Use with a heavily-armored Gloin (Core), so that you can spend your dozens of resource tokens on something, but otherwise it loses out to cards like Imladris Stargazer (FoS).
