That was, like, D trying to make the card like it had been never printed.

"Hm...this card's too powerful for even open!"
"I know! Let's errata it to make it spot a non-existant card!"

Hunting Herdsman to kill the Horn deck

[SomeRandomDude]

Right....which gets matched by a follower discard to make him strength +4. So, each follower discarded = net +7 strength bonus.

So you've got 25 followers. He's strength 83. Huh...let's see, Daddy Twofoot- No Visitors! w00t! Or since Gamling's usually base 12 or so strength with all followers transfered to him, chuck 6 followers to make him strength 36 vs 63. Oh, and BTW, you've given another comp the same bonus to fight off another one!

Or chump a worthless comp. As long as Gamling and Frodo are alive, you're good to go. Heck, chump all the other companions and run 2 comp choke!

Unless its a dedicated Hunting Herdsman deck. Then you're hosed. But who's gonna build one of those? Plus, the shadow side's gonna kill you till before you can start doing damage with a Courageous Easterling racket.

[Gate Troll]

Yeah but to play New Chapter you need to spot two hobbits. 

[SomeRandomDude]

So play it. Then chump Merry.
