Errand-rider Yesterday, 12:47 AM This card makes tri-sphere decks possible. Whether you want to go Eagles, Outlands, or even Gondor, Errand-Rider will help you out. A very important tool in a solo player's arsenal !
Zigil Mineshaft May 19 2013 05:44 PM Yes, you can use it as many times as you like during each action window. If you want, you can have both players raise their respective threat levels by 5 to explore this prior to quest resolution.
Thror's Map May 16 2013 03:32 PM Yeah, it doesn't count as traveling to a locations, so it allows you to bypass travel effects. However, it has been errata'd as it now can only be used as a travel action, so you can't use that razzmatazz during the staging step to reduce threat.
Thror's Map May 16 2013 07:07 AM Is this the same as travelling to a location?
I would think ´no´ since the card instructs you to choose a location and make it the active location but wonder if that is the consensus.
Zigil Mineshaft May 15 2013 01:36 PM can you use the action more then once each phase? Meaning getting your threat up by more then one to get rid of this locaiton while it's in the staging phase before the quest resolve step?
Will of the West May 15 2013 09:30 AM It goes to the discard pile after you have shuffled your deck
Will of the West May 13 2013 05:49 PM Does this card go onto your discard pile prior to adding the discard pile back into the deck?
Ithilien Tracker May 13 2013 04:16 AM Even without taking in the synergy with Gondor and its ability, the stats aren't bad. Factor in it's ability, which if you have some scrying ability (which is easy with lore) and you have a cheap, solid ally here. Though I may have a bias because of that awesome art...
Battering Ram May 11 2013 01:36 PM With the right defenders and attackers this card is powerless
I defeated it in one roun with beregond and aragorn and boromir and one ally
Boromir Apr 28 2013 08:27 AM this is dain's weaker cousin as far as im concerned. too few gondor allies across too many spheres and no will booster either. the tactics version is vastly better as it can do it all in a single turn if u raise ur threat enough whereas this one just stinks. id rather play imrahil in any deck I even looked at this guy and I don't play imrahil much. shoot for one more threat u have Aragorn and he has a LOT more support cards and better effect plus sentinel.
It's very powerful, but it had better be. That's such a hefty price for a one-shot effect. This card was made for Good Meal (TRG); three resources is much easier to stomach (no pun intended).
This ^^^^ maybe the best explanation EVER for why frodo is such an awesome hero.

I think this card will be more usefull when the third cycle will be out and the mono sphere deck becomes more popular or in other words "playable". Just imagine mono rohan spirit deck with this card. Lot of Willpower and stage cleaning with beacons.
I think that is what the designers intention is but i dont think it will happen that way. If you want to be able to play a deck against more than one scenario (or multiples of being very similiar) then you almost have to play a second sphere. from the core set to now i can honestly say that for solo play i have yet to find a deck of one sphere that could win against the spectrum of scenarios. But give me a second sphere and i can beat the vast majority.
Final note: anything that says "all characters" is a winner just because of multiplayer.
Hmmm how many discard engine cards has come out till now? It seems like a beautiful 4 spheres ally deck fuel. Hmm what about...
Eowyn
A very good tale
Daeron's runes
Protector of lorien
Word of command should find that ally, discard via eowyn and play it.
Balin tombs to recycle stand.
i dont remember all the cards but there are a number of tactic sphere allies that have to discard a card to attack/defend (elves if i recall). Those cards would allow a tactics/will deck to concievably play any ally that you care to name with a reasonable amount of consistancy.
zigil miner would work really well as he discards two from top of your deck. name a cost and maybe u get that in resources and maybe u dont but either way u can put cards in the discard pile to be played with stand and fight.
also there are a number of eagles that will discard themselves from play if u choose to include them for consideration to this list.
Use him for Healing Herbs (FoS) and/or Spare Hood and Cloak (OHaUH) (which combos well with Fast Hitch (TDM)).
There are a few card effects that require exhausting a character/hero. If you don´t count on using Bilbo too often for the regular stuff, it can be a great boon for those effects. Those are all pretty neat cards at a low cost.
i have to give props to this. that is very good thinking and i admit ive overlooked that. i intend to test what i can make out of that. My concern before testing is that the drawing cards aspect of the deck is nearly lost but the ability for bilbo to exhaust himself for the sake of his betters has appeal. after all his effect is static regardless of how u use him.

Bilbo Baggins Apr 10 2013 02:36 PM Bilbo + Burning brand + fast hitch... no need to speak more. One of the best solo characters.

Light the Beacons Apr 08 2013 09:39 AM This plus Path of Need (FoS) = win
Granted it is a bit expensive getting them both down.
Bilbo Baggins Apr 07 2013 10:22 PM Agreed, a 2nd lore character will help the bilbo set up a lot.
