| − | ===== General Strategy =====
| |
| − | | |
| − | A rare condition with generally fringe benefits, The Nine Walkers provides !twilight choking when playing a race not spotted. The Nine Walkers can be particularly helpful absorbing the twilight cost of a splashed Ent, as they tend to be expensive, or when replacing a dead character's race with another character of that race. It works well in multi-race fellowships (For example, start Gandalf, have Gimli, Aragorn and Legolas in deck). From Movie Block onwards, it is possible to design a whole deck around this card, as there are 8 Free Peoples races to play one companion each from (Hobbit, Wizard, Man, Elf, Dwarf, Ent, Wraith, Tree).
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Nine Walkers has synergy with Gandalf, the Grey Wizard and Gandalf's Wisdom in a choke deck.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Nine Walkers effect stacks for each copy in play; however, most players would agree that even including one copy of The Nine Walkers sacrifices a valuable deck slot and limits the ability to cycle in most decks, and more than 1 are needed to guarantee an early draw.

| − | === Strong Versus... ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Expensive shadow decks
| |
| − | * Works well with Multicultural Free Peoples
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Weak Versus... ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Condition discard
| |
| − | * Too Great and Terrible, or Gandalf-targeting cards before !The Nine Walkers is in play
| |
| − | * Multicultural Hatred, such as One Of You Must Do This or Orc Insurgent
| |
| − | * Grows less and less useful the later in the game it is drawn
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===== Rules and Clarifications =====
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Note that The Nine Walkers references race, not culture. With this Gandalf in play, Ghan-Buri-Ghan would have a twilight cost of -[2] (making it, effectively, zero). If you then wanted to play Faramir, Son of Denethor, his twilight cost would be the ordinary [3], even if you could not spot another [Gondor] character.
