•Radagast’s Staff, Wand of the Wood
Artifact • Staff
Strength +1
Vitality +1
Bearer must be Radagast.
Response: If a Tree or Eagle is about to take a wound, exert Radagast twice to prevent that wound.
Response: If a companion skirmishing a Tree, Spider, or Creature is about to take a wound, exert Radagast and add to prevent that.

I’m not that fond on the subtitle. Seems more HPish than LotRish to me. *shrugs* I like the rest though.

•Nano, Radagast’s Mount
Possession • Mount
Strength +1
Resistance +1
Bearer must be a Wizard or Elf.
If bearer is Radagast, each time the fellowship moves, you may discard a card from hand to remove a threat.
“‘His dappled grey horse was standing by. When he saw me he lept to his feet. It was Radagast my cousin....’”

I really like this card, but I think the ability is too easy. Maybe make it two cards, since at one time you almost always have one card you don’t and won’t need.

Okay, two reviews with full , so let’s post some of Radagast’s "stuff". I know they’re not culture cards, but since Radagast has so many close connections to Mirkwood (especially in the previous set, Lasting Alliances), I figured his gear--and a couple of his support cards you’ll see later--should be of the culture. If you think that’s a bad idea, just let me know. I’m not opposed to changing it.

Seems... okay. Not outstanding, though. I’d have to see how powerful those minions are to say whether or not I’d use this card.

The second ability might seem pretty useless, since there’s only been one Spider minion and a small handful of Creatures (the Watcher in the Water and tentacles) to date, all Trees are FP cards. But the Watcher (and tentacles) appear again in this set, Spiders appear in large numbers in Lasting Alliances, and Tree minions appear starting in this set as well. So this could actually be HUGE.

Neato.

The resistance boost was a last-minute addition, as was the Elf bearer allowance. But I figured neither could hurt, especially since a number of Elves appear in this set...and there are LOTS of Elves in the previous set, as reviewers of the Duos surely remember.
