In Towers block, there are no other choices for increasing Sam's strength beyond what {{Card|Hobbit Sword}} can offer and sometimes (as {{Card|Sam, Nice Sensible Hobbit}} typically can't benefit from {{Card|Severed His Bonds}}) no other choices for increasing his survivability. Even that is not reason enough to include Impatient and Angry. Because of the lack of support in the format, Fellowships including Sam tend to just let him die or have him take The Ring after killing Frodo to clear burdens. {{Card|Brace of Coneys}} is a much more reliable way of peeling burdens, while {{Card|Sam, Samwise the Brave}} can use his vitality to keep burdens from being added in the first place. | In Towers block, there are no other choices for increasing Sam's strength beyond what {{Card|Hobbit Sword}} can offer and sometimes (as {{Card|Sam, Nice Sensible Hobbit}} typically can't benefit from {{Card|Severed His Bonds}}) no other choices for increasing his survivability.

In Towers standard, {{Card|The Shire Countryside}} provides some incentive for using the event and {{Card|A Promise}} can even make winning skirmishes an obtainable goal. {{Card|Frodo's Cloak}} is more reliable and should be prioritized in a deck, but | In Towers standard, {{Card|The Shire Countryside}} provides some incentive for using the event and {{Card|A Promise}} can even make winning skirmishes an obtainable goal. {{Card|Frodo's Cloak}} is more reliable and should often be prioritized in a deck, but if a player wants to remove burdens in a skirmish more than once or twice over the course of the game its uniqueness can get in the way. Impatient and Angry is a reasonable solution in these circumstances, the only other alternative being {{Card|Stout and Sturdy}} + {{Card|Extraordinary Resilience}}. | ||
Though it seems to be doing double duty as a strength pump and a burden removal tool, that it can only benefit Sam makes it a liability at times. Frodo in particular will need skirmish pumps so it should take a backseat to {{Card|Hobbit Intuition}} and potentially even {{Card|Hobbit Stealth}}. Relying too heavily this event (to heal back exertions on {{Card|Boromir, Son of Denethor}} with The Shire Countryside, for example) makes a deck extremely vulnerable to condition discarding. | Though it seems to be doing double duty as a strength pump and a burden removal tool, that it can only benefit Sam makes it a liability at times.
