I underestimated valiant sacrifice originally, but it's actually pretty good. It's fairly cheap, and allies leave play fairly often. Campfire Tales, Erestor, and We are not Idle are the only other leadership card draw sources that aren't trait specific and valiant sacrifice holds it's own.

This is great addition to all those decks using mechanic where all the cards leaves and enters play. With Prince Imrahil and eagle deck I use it all the time. The artwork could be more dynamic and detailed, but its still good. Verdict: 4/5.

A long time I really liked this card, but no I don´t include it in decks any more. Here is why:

• It is conditional. Yes, there are scenarios or deck building mechanisms, that drigger this condition easily, but in other this could be quite a problem.
• Its cost: It is not one -ressource for two cards. It is one -ressource and one card (the card itself) for two cards.

If you have a deck wich triggers the conditional by nature and you have Steward of Gondor on the table it is a good card, but nothing more. I don´t think it is great at all.

A staple early on in the game that unfortunately hasn't aged overly well. A conditional 2 cards for 1 resource just rarely cuts it these days, so while Valiant Sacrifice is still a decent card, it has mostly faded out of decks. Council of the Wise provided a little boost for it again, however ultimately, Valiant Sacrifice steadily declined in relevance to have a pretty nicke status nowadays. One thing that has to be said for this card however is the fact that any player can be targeted, which is very neat in higher player counts.

Rating: 5/10
