Wow! Gil-Galad is insane! I have an elven token deck that uses him. This is the kind of deck I would play against my friend and he would get upset and complain about how broken the combo is. I already use Gil-Galad to recycle
Leaving Forever, but to discard
Uncertain Paths with it and then replay it for 3 more tokens is brilliant!
Anyway, I still don't have a problem with the Silver Ewer, though. I suppose it is a card that is thought of as broken because of Gil-Galad's ability to add threats to get a bunch of skirmish events, but again, that is Gil-Galad's fault.
I'm actually thinking about pulling my Gil-Galad out of my Token deck and putting him in the elvent deck. If I use threats to pull events back and use Glorfindel to remove threats I'd feel like I wasn't completely abusing him.
Wasn't there a Gandalf Combo that resulted in some x-list overhaul? It discarded all of the cards in your opponents deck, healed everybody, discarded all minions, and increased the move limit.
Also, I agree with Olorin. It should only be allowed AT THE START OF THE REGROUP PHASE which would only allow it once. It could only happen 7 times in the game and possibly less if you didn't get Gil-Galad soon enough. Then discarding a token for a condition wouldn't be so bad, but it probably would be better if it were 2 tokens.
It probably should only allow you to get a skirmish event at the start of the maneuver phase, or add 2 threats instead of one. Well, regardless, nothing will officially be done about it so whatever.
