	Consorting With Wizards is an exceptional choke card along the lines of {{Card\|Sting}} and {{Card\|Heir to the White City}}. However, unlike Sting and HttWC, it is not particularly splashable. It requires Bilbo, so one needs a good way of getting him out early, such as {{Card\|Hobbiton Party Field}}. It also needs a good way to keep Bilbo healthy, such as {{Card\|Hobbit Party Guest}} or {{Card\|Frodo, Old Bilbo's Heir}}. For this reason, it sees its best use in a dedicated "Hobbit Hospital" style deck and has little use otherwise in Fellowship Block. See below for a sample Fellowship decklist.

	At the launch of The Two Towers, Bilbo was almost forgotten entirely. Consorting With Wizards was relegated to obscurity almost from its first printing... until Reflections, which introduced the first new Bilbo card in over two years: Bilbo, Bearer of Things Burgled.

	This new Bilbo was not only a companion, but one of the brand-new Alternate Ring-bearers (and a particularly solid one at that). Suddenly, Consorting With Wizards had a new purpose, and those players who held onto their obsolete Mines of Moria cards now wielded potent firepower. This condition is perhaps the single-best form of wound-prevention for a Ring-bearer. It's also free to play, it's a '''tale''' (an unloaded keyword which happens to be targeted by Bilbo himself), and it even comes with pool-control that becomes abusive through vitality-boosting such as The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles.

	Also note that Consorting With Wizards is non-unique. If you're playing against an opponent with condition-discarding on his mind, only keep one of these in play at a time. But if your opponent has other things on his mind than keeping your conditions in check, drop all four onto Bilbo as you draw into them.		Also note that Consorting With Wizards is non-unique.

Consorting With Wizards is an exceptional choke card along the lines of Sting and Aragorn, HttWC. However, unlike Sting and HttWC, it is not particularly splashable. It requires Bilbo, so one needs a good way of getting him out early, such as Hobbiton Party Field. It also needs a good way to keep Bilbo healthy, such as Hobbit Party Guest or Frodo, Old Bilbo's Heir. For this reason, it sees its best use in a dedicated "Hobbit Hospital" style deck and has little use otherwise in Fellowship Block. See below for a sample Fellowship decklist.

At the launch of The Two Towers, Bilbo was almost forgotten entirely. Consorting With Wizards was relegated to obscurity almost from its first printing... until Reflections, which introduced the first new Bilbo card in over two years: Bilbo, Bearer of Things Burgled.

This new Bilbo was not only a companion, but one of the brand-new Alternate Ring-bearers (and a particularly solid one at that). Suddenly, Consorting With Wizards had a new purpose, and those players who held onto their obsolete Mines of Moria cards now wielded potent firepower. This condition is perhaps the single-best form of wound-prevention for a Ring-bearer. It's also free to play, it's a '''tale''' (an unloaded keyword which happens to be targeted by Bilbo himself), and it even comes with pool-control that becomes abusive through vitality-boosting such as The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles.

Also note that Consorting With Wizards is non-unique. If you're playing against an opponent with condition-discarding on his mind, only keep one of these in play at a time. But if your opponent has other things on his mind than keeping your conditions in check, drop all four onto Bilbo as you draw into them.
