I always likeed this scene, and it seems a lot like the old  search. A Pipeweed condition for this makes sense, and doesn’t seem that bad, unless you’re able to get the pipeweed into play out of the fellowship phase.
Even then, as I said, I like the throwback to Questions that need answering, and Needs Risk a Little Light, and the fact it fits inbetween.
On the one hand, it can be put into play without needing anything - although being unique, you can’t get multiples (luckily). In a pipeweed deck, this could still get quite a few cards into hand, although your Shadow cards may be lost, without a whole lot to help it (between Gandalf and Hobbits). |
Our time here is ending...
What did you want to see before the end?
It will be made in the Request-a-card Set #1 (name ideas also welcome  ). |

Does taking cards into hand like that count as drawing cards?
I assume that you still can’t get more than 4, even though I can’t remember the exact wording of the rule, but would stuff like this trigger cards that are triggered by drawing? |

| Yes, this card is still subject to the Rule of 4. |

Alright, that’s what I figured. I couldn’t remember if the rule was only "drawing" cards, or taking into hand.
Does this count as "drawing," though? |

| No, it does not count as drawing cards. But the Rule of 4 says you can’t draw or take into hand more than 4 cards during your fellowship phase. |

| This is crazy with Southfarthing Leaf. And with no drawing limit in the regroup you could empty your deck of Southfarthing while drawing cards the whole time. Crazy good! |

Sweet card! This could really help in making a triple move with Radagast, The Brown. On a few lucky draws, you could get Out of the High Airs, Terrible and Evil, etc.  |

| I give it a 4. Pretty useful in the right deck, and like BW, I like how this harkens back to cards long ago rotated out. However, if you HAVEN’T rotated such cards out and still play Expanded or Open or something, I ALSO like how this says "pipeweed card", meaning you’re not limited to using it with the new pipeweed conditions, but can also use your old pipeweed possessions! Good stuff. |
