Strategy

A solid telepathy and hand extension event, Risk a Little Light falls somewhere between the [Dwarven] card drawing meta (Delving, Wealth of Moria) and [Elven] card revealing meta (Gift of Foresight, Forewarned). Risk a Little Light can assist the Free Peoples player's ability to cycle through his or her draw deck.

Cards like Sting or Glamdring could potentially reduce the twilight pool enough to play the event multiple times (Or use in conjunction with other twilight threshold cards such as Gimli, DoE or Questions that need Answering) while Gandalf's Staff makes the event itself free.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strong Versus...

• Helps fine tune a deck
• Works well with [Elven] telepathy

Weak Versus...

• Discard decks
• Shadows that target Gandalf, like Too Great and Terrible or Hate
• Requires that you remain under a twilight threshold
