General Strategy
Provides potent protection for any [Shire] tales the Free Peoples player possesses. This tends to become more useful as more and more sets get added to the game, since there will be a wider variety of tales to protect. Works particularly well with There and Back Again, Everyone Knows and The Tale of the Great Ring. Can also protect Scouring of the Shire (and other [Shire] tales) from Buckland Homestead. Competes with Pippin, Steadfast Friend in formats where both are legal.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Strong Versus...
- Condition discard (Saruman's Power, Hammer of the Underworld, Buckland Homestead)
Weak Versus...
- Assignment or Wounding effects, since he can't protect tales if he dies
