Uh...got some formatting problems there that make it kind of hard to read.
EDIT: ...and now it’s fixed. Much better. |

Muster.
Each other companion is strength +1.
Response: If a follower is transfered to a companion, exert Radagast to heal that companion.
I like the follower love, since Decipher seems to be headed that way with Eagles. Muster is a great idea I never thought of. The strength boost for all companions is nice, but doesn’t seem to fit with Radagast.
Quote: DáinIronfoot
• Radagast, Wizard of the White Council
Companion • Wizard
Strength: 6

Radagast is strength +1 for each of the following you can spot in the fellowship: Tree, Ent, another Wizard, mount.
Fellowship: Exert Radagast and discard a card from hand to heal a Tree, Ent, or unbound companion bearing a follower.
“For Radagast, the fourth, became enamoured of the many beasts and birds that dwelt in Middle-earth...and spent his days among the wild creatures.”
Awful card. Just terrible. Who designed this thing? 
Quote: BattleWarg
 •Radagast, Wizard of the White Council
Follower
+1 Resistance
Aid - . To play, spot a Wizard.
When you transfer Radagast to a companion (except a Wizard), exert bearer.
If bearer is mounted, he is strength +1 and resistance +1.
Maneuver: Transfer Radagast to your support area from bearer to draw a card for each forest you spot.
[i]"’We shall need your help, and the help of all things that will give it. Send out messages to all the beasts and birds that are your friends.’"
Interesting. Very interesting. I like it, but I’m worried it might be a little too much for one follower. If it had ONE of those abilities, it would be perfect. With BOTH...it’s almost too much.

Radagast. Wizard of the White Council
Companion • Wizard
Strength • 8
Vitality • 4
Resistance • 7
To play, spot a Wizard or 2 Elves. Radagast is strength +1 for each other wizard you can spot. Radagast is resistance +1 for each elf you can spot.
I don’t quite get the strong connection to the Elves. I can see a little tie-in, but this seems excessive. If his starting strength and resistance were lower, this would still be a fine card. But as is, it’s too powerful, especially since there’s no caps on his built-in boosts.
Quote: manace64
•Radagast, Wizard of the White Council
Companion • Wizard
Strength-8
Vitality-4
Resistance-7
When you play Radagast, you may discard X cards from hand to make his twilight cost -X.
Each time you play a spell, you may exert Radagast to discard a Shadow condition.
"...He lived at Rhosgobel, on the western eaves of Mirkwood, near the Gladden Fields..."
I like the unique cost reduction, though the spell help doesn’t quite fit. Nothing WRONG with it, though. Just...not very Radagast-like.
Quote: CarpeGuitarrem
• Radagast, Wizard of the White Council
Companion • Wizard
Strength: 7
Vitality: 4
Resistance: 9
Each time a follower is transferred to a companion, you may exert Radagast to remove X threats, where X is the current region.
R
Not sure why his strength is lower than the original version, but that’s a minor thing. I like the follower lovin’, though without them he’s pretty useless. Still, a good ability in its own right, and in the proper deck he’d be very nice. I think that 8 strength would have made him better, though.
Quote: Glamdring
• Radagast, Wizard of the White Council
Companion • Wizard
Strength:8
Vitality:4
Resistance:8
Eeach companion is strength +1. Response: If a companion is about to take a wound or exertion, exert Radagast to prevent that. Regroup: Exert Radagast twice to make the move limit +1.
"A friend of beasts, and birds was he...
Rarity: R
Again, not so sure about a universal companion boost, and that combined with the wound/exertion prevention seems pretty powerful. All that PLUS the move limit ability...well, with one less ability, I think he’d be much better. As is, he’s pretty powerful.
Quote: Mouth of Saruman

Muster.
While you can spot a Wizard, Radagast gains hunter 1.
Fellowship or Regroup: Exert Radagast to make each player draw 2 cards (limit once per turn).
Again, liking the muster. But hunter...? Not so much. That doesn’t strike me right for Radagast. His ability is pretty cool, though.
Quote: AnxiousChieftain

Each other Wizard is strength +1 and resistance +1.
Fellowship: Discard 2 cards from hand to heal a Wizard.
Another universal pump, but this one’s just for Wizards, so I’m more comfortable with it. The ability is a little bland, but balanced.
Quote: macheteman

While you can spot Gandalf and he and Radagast are bearing Staffs, the move limit is +1.
Each time a minion is played, exert Radagast and add a threat to draw a card.
The second ability is missing a very important "you may", but it’s nice otherwise.

Muster.
To play, spot a companion.
Fellowship: Exert Radagast and discard 2 cards from hand to play a follower from your draw deck or discard pile.
Muster + follower love = good. But I don’t like his inexplicable strength drop added to a spotting requirement.
Quote: legoles3333
(4) Radagast,Wizard of the White Council
Companion, Wizard, Str 8, Vit 4
The move limit is +1. Radagast is Strength +1 for each Wizard you can spot. Fellowship Exert Radagast and either an Elf or another Wizard to remove 2 threats. Regroup Discard Radagast to make the Move limit +2, Each Shadow Player may draw 6 Cards
"Then you must go now," said Radagast, "for I have wasted time in looking for you and the days are short."
In short: way too powerful. With some work and less abilities it would make a good card, but as is, it’s just too much. Sorry. 
Now, voting.  This is HARD. Hmmmm.
