Strategy
Well-Spoken Gentlehobbit is the strongest form of condition hate in the Shire culture. He is able to provide a counter to nasty Ringwraith conditions like Blade Tip (1U209) and Black Breath (1U207) that would inhibit a Hobbit Hospital strategy, and he handily deals with Moria and Orc condition-based strategies.
Bilbo has natural synergy with Red Book of Westmarch (2R113) to draw cards and play tales to fuel his text. He fits well in most Hobbit-based strategies, such as Hobbit Hospital and Hobbit Tales. Frodo, Old Bilbo’s Heir can keep him healed, and Consorting With Wizards (2R97) can both help choke and protect him from ally hate like Tower Assassin (2R93) and Their Power Is in Terror (1U226) . However, Bilbo does not mesh well with Pippin, Steadfast Friend (19P30) .
Another weakness is that Bilbo does not target conditions bourne by a companion. Thus, he is useless against condition strategies that play conditions on your companions, such as Desperate Defense of the Ring (1R244) in Sauron Corruption or Lingering Shadow (12U166) in Expanded-era Nazgul Corruption. In addition, he can be discarded even while bearing Consorting With Wizards (2R97) , making him vulnerable to Fear (1R212) or Grond, Hammer of the Underworld (8R103) .
