Finally we get Treebeard! The illustration looks amazing and his ability combined with healing powers makes him a great lore hero, imo!

Treebeard with Lembas is the best

I am very excited to have Treebeard as a hero, but I'm not sure yet if he is worth taking in an ent deck, as he would prevent you from having the ally version.  I love the hero, but the ally seems too strong to leave out.  Once we have more ent cards I suppose I will have more information to help me make an educated decision, but for now, I am leaning toward the ally.

The new tactics event is extremely solid with his ability, allowing him to do some considerable dmg with repeated attacks.   But I agree.  I'm also torn on which to include.  Atm, I've built an ent deck using Treebeard, Tactigorn and Mablung.  As to be expected with ents, it is a little slow to start, but then gets to hit pretty heavy

I don´t seem to be able to do a search on the Ent trait. A shame seeing as quite a few cards spread across the spheres have that trait now.

Try Ent. With the . after it.  Quite often with the CGDB deckbuilders the . is included as part of the trait text for some reason!

OK, I see your point. (wink, wink)

It works for me when using "ent" in the trait field.

Which new tactics event?

Which new tactics event?

Quite sure he was referring to "boomed and trumpeted"

Put ent draught on him and you can use his ability more times

Absolutely.  That card is bonkers on Treebeard or Derdingle Warrior
