Strategy

Gameplay Strategy

This version of Gimli is a fascinating one, with a unique ability to draw a card each time he wins a skirmish. This trick could be used to manipulate initiative, with powerful cards like Glimpse of Fate (10U12) and Brooding on Tomorrow (10U15) . Another use would be to draw cards off the top of your deck to get skirmish events, or to get important cards for your fellowship. If you are at Starkhorn (12U193) , the ability to draw two cards every time Gimli wins a skirmish can be potent.
