!Merry, Friend to Sam is a popular and potent card, and can often be found in any format where he is legal. As a support companion who can add three strength to anyone else he is already quite versatile. But with various ways of increasing his strength, and the plethora of healing available to [Shire] characters, he can become a very powerful asset to the Free Peoples player. | !Merry, Friend to Sam is a popular and potent card, and can often be found in any format where he is legal.
