Like all companions printed since the Shadows set, this card has the Resistance icon in place of a signet. But since it's word-for-word a reprint of an earlier card, it was ruled that it has the Gandalf signet of the original. Along with Pippin, Hobbit of Some Intelligence (1R307) , it's unique in being the only signeted card not actually bearing the signet on the card itself.

Equivalent for all intents and purposes to Boromir, Defender of Minas Tirith*, from The Fellowship of the Ring block, with the exception of the Uncommon rarity (as opposed to Premium). Please see that page for strategy and clarification.
