As a card from the Fellowship of the Ring set, Data:Galadriel, Lady of Light (1R45) was primarily gained through [standard booster packs | as a card in the XXX starter deck | direct purchase from the XXX product | explanation of promotional distribution], or sometimes as [a random rare in a starter deck]. It is a [brief description of usage], so its demand is [enormous | relatively high | average | relatively low | nonexistent].


  • As a Rare, Lady of Light has a 1 in 121 (~0.8%) chance of being present in any FotR booster pack, and a 3 in 121 (~2%) chance of being in any FotR starter deck.
  • Foil versions of Movie-era Rare cards were randomly selected to be inserted into booster packs at a rate of 1 out of 26 packs (~3.8% of packs). This means any given FotR booster pack had a 1 in 3,146 (~0.038%) chance of containing a foil Lady of Light.
  • The Fellowship of the Ring was printed (both standard and foil) in 7 languages other than English: German, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, and Chinese.

Card Image Identifier Notes
English • Nonfoil
English • Nonfoil In short, Galadriel both enables mass minion wounding by healing all the exert-to-wound Home 6 allies every round, and her discount is too much. In shorter, characters are balanced around their costs and Galadriel removing those costs makes them unbalanced. In shorterer, heal bad; choke worse.

To address the <span class="tooltip">Shoulder to Shoulder&nbsp;(1C59)START_WIDGET"'-333e39a7b1b9fc8bEND_WIDGET</span> issue (obsolete though it may be), Galadriel's heal is reduced to mirror Elrond's freshly-nerfed position. She can now heal herself and up to 2 others, which won't affect most decks but should shave just a bit off the top of the mass ally strat.

The discount eventually settled on -1 out of simple pragmatism: every Elf in Fellowship block has a twilight cost of 2, except for Elrond (4) and <span class="tooltip">Lórien Elf&nbsp;(1C53)START_WIDGET"'-44c8481e6f1206b9END_WIDGET</span> (1). -2 would thus be essentially no change, so -1 it is.

(There are additional higher cost Elves in Towers block, but the vast majority remain 2). Decipher Notes:

This card has no cultural enforcement. The special ability allows a player to play high utility site 6 allies, who also lack cultural enforcement, for free. This level of permanent resource denial undermines the Shadow number curve on sites. Also, when combined with other cards such as <span class="tooltip">Shoulder to Shoulder&nbsp;(1C59)START_WIDGET"'-6ec4992d97247251END_WIDGET</span>, the healing function of this card provides too much utility, both for Galadriel, and other site 6 allies.
