| Galdor, Councilor From the West is a rarely-played card, due to its highly situational game text. It's mainly played in decks that want another site 3 {{C|Elven}} [[ally]] to spot or exert.
| |
|
| |
|
| Galdor's game text is not strong. Sending a [[minion]] back to your opponent's hand in the [[Regroup Phase]] doesn't stop them from then replaying that minion in the next [[Shadow Phase]]. This can be situationally useful if the minion is very expensive, like {{Card|Cave Troll of Moria, Scourge of the Black Pit}}, and it does mean they draw one less card when they [[reconcile]]. It's also funny -- if not especially effective -- to send {{Card|The Balrog, Durin's Bane}} or {{Card|The Balrog, Flame of Udun}} back to your opponent's hand in [[Fellowship Block]], since the Balrog can't be played after site 5 in that block.

| Most decks that do use him aren't using him chiefly for the game text, though. He's a site 3 {{C|Elven}} ally, and plenty of cards want to spot or exert elves or {{C|Elven}} allies. He counts as an elf for {{Card|The Last Alliance of Elves and Men}}, can exert for {{Card|Secret Sentinels}}, empowers {{Card|Arwen, Lady Undomiel}}, can heal a [[Dwarf|dwarf]] with {{Card|Shoulder to Shoulder}}, and so on. Even then, he's one of the weakest site 3 allies, so he's still rarely played.
