Notes

Alike all companions printed since the Shadows set, this card has the Resistance icon in place of a signet. But since it's word-for-word a reprint of an earlier card, it was ruled that it has the Gandalf signet of the original. Along with Pippin, Hobbit of Some Intelligence, it's unique in being the only signeted card not actually bearing the signet on the card itself.
