	'~~'In~~ this ~~section~~, ~~describe:'~~'		Of all the pipe possessions available, Gimli's pipe is perhaps the most peculiar. Aside from being able to exert Gimli for no reason, it is the only pipe that does not come with an effect it can provide on its own. However, where any other pipe still only counts as one, this one can count for two, three or possibly even more. As such, it can be especially useful for support outside of dedicated pipe decks, alongside just one or two other pipes, freeing space for other strategies, while still enabling a potent use of one's pipeweed.

	* ''General usage''		Its ability comes at the expense of Gimli's vitality, though, making its use rather limited and risky. Right off the bat, it clashes with the ability of the popular {{Card\|1R13}} and synergizes rather poorly with the healing effects of {{Card\|1U91}} and {{Card\|3U107}}. While on paper it can work well with burden removing {{Card\|1U74}}, the utility of such burden removal is rather situational, not to mention needlessly clumsy next to alternatives like {{Card\|1C311}} or {{Card\|1C39}}.
	* ''Unorthodox or subtle usage''
	* ''Common pitfalls of using this card''		This leaves only two other pipes that can reasonably benefit from Gimli's exertion – {{Card\|1U285}} and {{Card\|1U292}}.

	== Deckbuilding Strategy ==		== Deckbuilding Strategy ==
	''~~In this section~~, ~~describe:~~''		In combination with {{Card\|1U292}}, Gimli's Pipe presents an interesting choking alternative to {{Card\|2R97}}. With the two pipes in play, discarding pipeweed alone, the player can remove {{Twilight\|2}}. Any exertion on top of that can remove {{Twilight\|1}} more, similarly to {{Card\|2R97}}. Further capitalizing on the choking aspect, {{Card\|2P121}} is a natural bearer for the pipe. Alternatively, errated {{Card\|1U12}} can be allowed to use his ability multiple times per turn.

			{{Card\|1U285}} offers different kind of synergy, one that practically asks for the inclusion of Gimli's Pipe. Whereas a full-blown pipe deck cannot provide much space for tales, a deck with focus on {{Card\|1U285}} and Gimli's pipe can.

			Whatever the use case is, cards that can keep Gimli healthy will increase the effect his pipe can have on the game and protect Gimli from dangers posed by minions and wounding cards like {{Card\|1R250}}. Perhaps of special note here is the oft overlooked {{Card\|1C10}}, whose downside becomes much easier to stomach, provided one immediately puts the regained vitality to good use. The fact that it costs 0 twilight also means it doesn't take away from the twilight removal done with {{Card\|1U292}}.

	* ''Cards and strategies this card works well with''		There are other options too. When paired with {{Card\|1U285}} and some {{C\|Dwarven}} tales, {{Card\|3R3}} can be used to great, albeit delayed effect, appropriate for a more restrained use of the pipe's ability. Likewise, {{Card\|1U12}} can be slowly healed with {{Card\|1P365}}. Meanwhile, {{Card\|2P121}} can be brought to full health quickly with {{Card\|3U107}} at the cost of more pipeweed.
	* ''Cards and ~~strategies this card works particularly well or poorly against~~''
	* ''Alternate cards you might consider picking instead of this one, ~~depending on~~ the ~~situation, including alternate version~~ of ~~characters''~~
