Gaining Strength
Reviews

A card clearly thought to accelerate even more an already good resource engine, so I think it would see its best use in a mono-Leadership deck devoted to exactly that. I also think that this card best friend is Denethor since it can put it in use starting from turn 1 and can also distribute the resource gained where it's more useful.

My favorite use is with Bifur to give him 3 resources on turn 1. — Birdman137 354

Essentially converting a card into a resource under specific circumstances (which are relatively easily accomplished, having 2 resources on a hero occurs quite regularly), Gaining Strength is definitely not a card for every deck but quite a good option for some. Especially if you have a high base card draw rate (e.g. in Erestor-decks), thus somewhat decreasing the cost of a single card as something that needs to be drawn first, Gaining Strength is a good option to get some tempo going quickly and with minimal effort. Also rather strong of course with heroes who guarantee providing the option of 2 or more resources on a hero from the get-go (like Théodred or Denethor). One of my favorite events to play with Council of the Wise as well!
