First review for this card. A low-cost and single-task ally ( alter ego of Misty Mountain Journeyman in ) for two main deck types :
1) A Dunedain or partially Dunedain deck that intermittently needs a cheap attack bonus for help finishing a strong ennemy or for destroying a low ennemy whom we are engaged with, before engaging new ennemies or to achieve the quest. Against a scenario with many ennemies, he can synergize with Dúnedain Hunter and Mablung too : you play the Hunter for free and engage a new ennemy during the planning phase, win 1 resource thanks to Mablung, then play Northern Bowmaster with this resource, so that you control two new allies without modifying your initial budget.
2) A non-Dunedain deck in a scenario where some ennemy promptly engage us and we need cheap allies to help destroy him.
