The main use of this card is a [[cycling]] tool: it clears out unwanted Free Peoples cards [[Hand Clog|clogging up your hand]] so you can draw different cards when you [[reconcile]] at the end of the turn. The [[Damage|Damage +1]] boost is just a nice extra, and rarely important. You're playing {{Card|Here Lies Balin, Son of Fundin}} and your opponent isn't playing [[orc]]s? You have {{Card|Servant of the Secret Fire}} in your hand but [[Gandalf]] is dead? Here Is Good Rock will clear out that junk for you. It's a simple, straightforward cycling tool, albeit one that is largely overtaken by [[Power Creep|stronger cards in later sets]]. | ||
Where this card gets a little more interesting is when it interacts with the rest of the {{C|Dwarven}} [[stack]]ing cards. Here Is Good Rock the cheapest, easiest way to stack {{Card|Toss Me}} so that it gives an ongoing [[strength]] increase to any version of [[Gimli]]. The cards you have stacked here can also be discarded as fuel for {{Card|Axe of Erebor}}. You can even do this in the middle of a skirmish, somewhat unexpectedly buffing Gimli's strength. {{Card|Gimli, Feared Axeman}} is the natural choice to get the most out of these Gimli-boosting shenanigans, since he helps protect them from [[Condition Removal|removal]]. | Where this card gets a little more interesting is when it interacts with the rest of the {{C|Dwarven}} [[stack]]ing cards.
