In theory seems passable, in practice is game winning. Being able to pull enemies out of the staging area prior to quest resolution is huge (he will also trigger Eomer's response) and I've won a few games with two of these out on the table.

5 of 5. In addition to what Ohnomycoco  said, you can also use him during the Action window after "Determine Combat Damage" from enemies attacking. THis means you can engage an enemy, skip its attack then declare attackers!

I imagine this card would be able to get Goblin Sniper out of the staging area in Journey Along the Anduin?

The outrider can definitely engage enemies that cannot be "optionally engaged".
