It's as much as you wish to pay. Only want to search three cards? Pay three resources. Search ten, pay ten, etc.
The trick is you still only get 1 card, no matter how many you look at.
Trick or downside?
At the very worst, you pay one to draw one, effectively. That's not amazing with things like Daeron's Runes around, but it's not the worst ever.
Don't forget, you also get to rearrange the top cards that you didn't choose. It could come in handy knowing what cards you'll be drawing over the next few turns.
Personally, I think I´ll much rather take an Imladris Stargazer over Gandalf´s Search anytime for rearrangement powers.
I know she's better, but sometimes you have to make your choices based on the spheres you have.
Can't ever see a use for this, even in a deck with many restrictions. And the picture is not a favorite either. 1/5
