This card can be pretty useful in decks that have Beorning allies! Let’s say a Giant Bear was destroyed during combat, then the next round you can exhaust Birna to put Giant Bear back into play for one round only for one resource! At the end of the round instead of the Giant Bear being in your discard pile, he’s in your deck to draw him up again. I say a Giant Bear in play for one round for one resource is a pretty good deal for me! But there are tons of other great targets for Birna’s ability than just the Giant Bear. For example, there’s Beorning Skin-changer and Beorn himself! There’s lots of cool options with this card.

Just note that Birna brings back the Beorning ally for a phase only, not a whole round. Still since you will probably use that ally in the Combat Phase there is often little difference — Alonewolf87 2537
