ReleaseNotesSam is tricky, because not only is he approximately the best burden removal option, for many cultures he represents almost the only burden removal option, as many cultures plain do not have access to native anti-corruption options. Sam probably deserves to be nerfed more than he is, but it's not possible to do so reasonably until other burden options have been added to more cultures in the future. Full article here.

NotesDecipher Notes:

This card has been on our X-List radar for quite some time. The deck lists turned in by the top 16 players of each major event this year were a perfect example of why – in every case, at least 15 of them were stocking one or more copies of Sam. He is simply too versatile, offering huge benefits regardless of Free Peoples strategy, and regardless of who your Ring-bearer is. And he’s even better if your Ring-bearer happens to be Frodo.

With Shadows, the need to address Sam became even more pressing. With resistance becoming an important feature of all companions (not just Ring-bearer) and it being directly tied to burdens, Sam easily undermined a large number of Shadow cards in the set, and made many Free Peoples cards too reliable (and thus, too strong).

ReleaseNotesSam, Sam, Sam. Even with his X-List nerf, he has remained the most popular burden-stripping splash option, showing up in 7 out of the top 10 decks in the May qualifiers. We knew at the time that we made the original errata that it wouldn’t be enough, but we felt like we had to wait until there were more burden-removal options for more cultures before we could feel comfortable taking him further.

With the introduction of Gilraen's Memorial (V1_22) and the errata to LOTR-EN07E256.1 also removing burdens, that time might well be now.

Sam will now exert twice per burden removed, but like Dauntless Hunter, the second exertion is paid after the fact, which goes unpaid if he is exhausted. This means that upon playing him, at most 2 burdens can be removed without additional healing, unless played in a Shire-heavy deck.
