This card is great for decks that have access to the Leadership sphere and can’t defend much, so that you can return the chump blockers to your hand after they are destroyed while defending. In the next planning phase you can pay for that same ally that defended so that ally can defend against the next big attack! But where this card really shines is in the Journey in the Dark scenario, where you encounter the Balrog. When you face the Balrog, your threat is most likely 40 and above, so you are able to use the Valour action to return those allies who defended back in your hand so in the next round, you can use them again. This card helps even more if your deck can’t bring in cards quickly to your hand. This card can definitely save the day in a pinch!
