Mostly I'm just glad this card exists because it's frustrating to me that Sting, Glamdring, and Orcrist all got non-campaign releases but the Flame of the West (which is really a far more significant sword in the legendarium) never did.

As for its implementation, the trait requirement is obviously designed to go with the colorless Aragorn from the same set. I'm really not sure there is a use case for this card outside of a deck with that colorless Aragorn and a generous surplus of resources. So it's very limited, but given the sword's role in the story that does make sense. Theoretically, a lot of other people could have wielded Glamdring, Orcrist, Sting, etc. but Anduril was always tied to Isildur's heir alone.

My best success with it was in a leadership/tactics Gondor deck with Aragorn's starting title being Elessar (which makes Gondor even more amazing at defense than they already are). With Elessar, he is qualified from the get-go and you don't have to fish for more traits before he can wield Anduril, though the leadership resource icon is made redundant. Also, it's very convenient in a deck like that to give SoG and Chieftan of the North to Aragorn, and then with his multiple resource icons he can easily afford expensive cards. If anyone can come up with a better use case than that for Anduril I'd love to hear about it, but so far it seems far and away the best place for it to me.

Lobelia Sackville-Baggins is not that strong of a hero but has quite strong for a hobbit.

Her ability is very thematic if you know the books. Bilbo is quite afraid of her and her attitudes.

The fact that she can use all atachments might be of some use.

I'm a little surprised that Hobbit Cloak doesn't have any reviews, because I think it's incredible. Even if you have just the Core and Fellowship boxes, this card can be invaluable, allowing even a thematic Hobbit deck to defend against the Black Riders without instantly losing a hero if it has to. The in-box Fatty Bolger and, of course, the Fellowship Frodo Bagginses have 2 printed , which then becomes 4 if you're managing your threat properly and are forced to engage with a Black Rider, netting you 1 damage on a hero instead of a whole dead hobbit. With a larger card pool, it becomes even more awesome. The Return of the King box(es) gives you the in-sphere Halbarad and the 3 Tom Cotton. Merry gives further enemy engagement cost boosts, and there are, of course, myriad options to lower your threat to make sure you're getting the full value out of the single resource you spent on this card.

One of my favourite events got an errata in the Revised printing of Ered Mithrin. Now it states "choose an ITEM attachment" - so no more out of sphere Steward of Gondor. This significantly lowers the usuability of this card, but I still think it's awesome in the right deck.

Bill Ferny.

That’s all I have to say. I wanted that to be the whole review, but I need 200 characters. I hate Bill Ferny in the “A Knife in the Dark” quest. He stays in the staging area the whole time and raises your threat until you can finally kill him. Son of Arnor lets you engage him and kill him in the first few turns. I don’t care what else he does. This guy lets me settle my personal vendetta against Bill, and thus, I am satisfied.
