“‘Here our paths cross…briefly.’”

Nice

•Gandalf, Friend of Free Peoples
Companion • Wizard
Strength: 7
Vitality: 4
Signet: Berethor
At the start of each of your turns, you may name a race. At any time during that turn, you may heal an unbound companion of that race (limit once per turn).
Each time you play another companion whose race you cannot spot, you may remove a burden or a threat.
“‘Your road here will not be an easy one. Much will be risked in the war that is to come, but you will justify my trust. This I sense with all my heart.’”

The Nine Walkers strategy revived!

•Gandalf’s Staff, Stave of Light
Artifact • Staff
Vitality +1
Bearer must be Gandalf.
The twilight cost of each spell is -1.
Maneuver: Exert Gandalf twice to heal an unbound companion or discard a Shadow condition borne by an unbound companion.

Whoa! One powerful staff!

•Glamdring, Wizard’s Blade
Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +2
Bearer must be Gandalf.
He is damage +1.
Skirmish: Exert Gandalf to play a spell from your draw deck or discard pile.

Um...with the aforementioned Gandalf’s Staff...powerful.

I figured it certainly couldn’t hurt to have another version of Glamdring (see Glamdring, Lightning Brand) that dealt with spells. Again, I think this one is unique enough to stand on its own...especially when combined with the staff above...and the spells that follow!

Wizard’s Drain
Condition
Spell. To play, spot Gandalf. Plays during the maneuver phase.
Bearer must be a minion with vitality of at least 2. Limit 2 per bearer.
Shadow cards must spot bearer as being vitality -1 (to a minimum of 1).

I can’t find any record of a FP condition that plays on a minion, so I guess this is a first.

First Level, Second Level, third Level, fourth Level, Fifth Level, Seventh Level, Citadel of the Stars, etc.

Endure the Shadow
Condition
Spell. To play, spot Gandalf.
Bearer must be a companion.
Response: If bearer is about to take a wound as a result of a Shadow special ability, add a threat or discard this condition to prevent that.

Balanced. I like.

Bolt of the Valar
Event • Skirmish
Spell.
Exert Gandalf bearing a staff to wound a minion twice. If that minion is a Balrog or Nazgûl, you may exert Gandalf and remove a card from your discard pile to return this event to your hand.

Beatdown, yeah. Sweet card! Although why would you return it to your hand with the ultra-broken Glamdring of yours?
