| |
| − | | |
| − | Though this Gandalf culture card is expensive, at a cost of five twilight and exerting Gandalf three times, sometimes it can be worth it. Being a maneuver event, it provides an alternative to giving the shadow side a lot of twilight and hoping for the best - instead, you can hold back and use Down From The Hills after the shadow player has already played their minions; pump up your larger companions and run for the hills.
| |
| − | | |
| − | While it can be used early in the game to reduce the damage that minion who would otherwise kill two companions would do - and maybe even, with other Gandalf signet support such as Trust Me As You Once Did, enable you to win the skirmish! - Down From The Hills really comes into its own late in the game, for that critical double move into site 9.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Requiring an opponent to play one more minion in order to get to the Ring-bearer is often enough to ensure that, though everyone else might sacrifice themselves, Frodo (or Sam) survive unscathed, and the game is won. When combined with a strategy that emphasizes defender +1 - Aragorn, Ranger of the North, or Aragorn, Heir of Elindil both have the Gandalf signet - it can make it extremely difficult for an opponent to mount a serious threat even on a double move into site 9 with minions on the table.
