I meant of say 2, like give it a limit to twice per phase or something equivalent.

Eagle of the Mountains
Ally • [LA] & 3 [FotR] • Eagle
Strength: 8
Vitality: 3
Unhasty.
This ally gains each home site of each Eagle ally.
At the start of each maneuver phase, you may exert this ally to reveal the top card of your draw deck. If that card is a or card, you may take it into hand (and heal this ally if that card is a Wizard or Eagle).
“‘And the Eagles of the Mountains went far and wide, and they saw many things....’”

•News Gathering
Condition • Support Area
Maneuver: Spot an Eagle to examine the top card of your draw deck. Then you may exert that Eagle X times and discard this condition to take that card into your hand, where X is the twilight cost of the card revealed; otherwise return that card to the top of your draw deck.
“‘That was Gwaihir the Windlord....I sent him before me to watch the River and gather tidings.’”

A bit expensive..... maybe add muster?

I would raise the cost to .

"Examine" should be "reveal".

Okay, I think that would make SoP happy too. (Yes?)
