Finally Argalad becomes a ranger!
The fact that you draw a card means you can easily add it to your deck even if you do not want to cut it for something else. Nice

Fast hitch is definitely good, but with Merry it just lets you quest and then use his power once, it doesn't let you use it extra times.

Wingfoot (which requires the Ranger trait) lets you ready each time an enemy is drawn, Merry then lets you exhaust to lower your threat by that enemies threat, so the combo means you essentially reduce your threat by the cumulative threat of all enemies drawn. In a 3-4 player game that is vastly better than the single use you get from his power normally.

But I am not sure depending on this card as well leaves it a playable combo. Still, I dare to dream...

Didn't think of the multiple ready, nice

Sadly this wont work, since revealing encounter cards, is one single step without actions in between. :(

Merry is a response to an enemy being revealed, so no issue there.  Wingfoot is a response to initializing questing, and will ready the hero any time the appropriate card time is revealed.  So if you quest with Merry (and name enemy), he will ready when you reveal an enemy due to Wingfoot and so Merry is standing and able to do his response.  If another enemy is revealed, Wingfoot still stands him, so he can trigger again.
