|   A Pippin tank! What is the world coming to?
 He harkens back to Pippin, Friend to Frodo in that he works well with tales, but he does it in a whole different way. It’s actually nice see a fighting Pippin, and in the right deck, he can get pretty strong. A 5.

 Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.

| This is probably my favorite companion in the whole set. 
 I’ve been wanting a fighting pippin and he isn’t like the annoying junkier version of merry.  Oh, and as noted earlier he works with any tales like dwarven thorin’s harp or whatever it’s called.

| Even if you don’t want to put him in a whole tale deck, throw him in an Everyone Knows deck and there’s +4 strength. |

| And plus four if he’s totally healed. 
 Run Bilbo as the ring-bearer with consorting with wizards and maybe some stone trolls?

| Neat card, but I think that, since it lacks a cap (which a card like this really needs), I can’t give it anything higher than a 3. |

 Check out Lasting Alliances, The Road Ahead, and Ages of Middle-earth, three of my five dream card sets that make up Wars of the Ring.   Oh, and I have a  trade list now!
 
 Also, if you're into DCs or RPGs (or even if you're not!), check out Realms of Middle-earth, the sequel to CG's "DC Adventure", Realms of the North!

| I give this Pippin a 5, since he promotes the Boromir-unbound Hobbits strategy. I will give you a hint: The Faithful Stone is a tale

| Awesome! He works well in a Everyone Knows deck, and he’s begging for an entire deck to be made that is based around tales. Let me try and make a decklist here...
