I discovered a fun combo for this guy in a hero lineup of Hirgon, Mablung and Aragorn as follows:

• Quest successfully w/Hirgon and play the Knight for 2 resources (you may choose whether or not to give him +1 )
• Immediately engage an enemy, triggering the following: 1) Mablung gets a resource, 2) the enemy gets -1 , 3) Knight of Minas Tirith attacks for effectively up to 4/5

Best case scenario, you have eliminated an enemy by spending a net total of 1 resource and you now have a strong, durable ally on the table moving forward. Very fun for taking out Harbor Thugs and similar foes!

A cheap but versatile auto-include ally in a Gondor deck :

• He's from the main Gondor sphere
• He's an early target for Visionary Leadership, Boromir and Faramir
• He synergizes well with Lothíriel + Valiant Sacrifice
• He increases the flexibilty of the resources thanks to his response
• He's a deck target for the entry effect of Soldier of Gondor
• He's a free chump-blocker or discard target of some treacheries or shadow effects

First review for this card. That attachment is a bit of a niche one, but nice if :

1) You want to build a thematic Scout deck and you lack one Scout hero, or you want to give that trait to another no-Scout helpful hero in a specific scenario, for example to play some willpower boost events like Scouting Party.

2) You do not play a Scout thematic deck but you just need that one of your hero got the Scout trait for playing some good location control cards such as Warden of Arnor, Map of Rhovanion, Mariner's Compass, Distant Stars, or other effective cards like Hunting Party or Well Warned.

First review for this card. Although the flavor text seems to strongly scream for "Rohan!", Burst into Song instead calls for a hobbit deck that would include Sam Gamgee and/or ( MotK) Rosie Cotton, several copies of Song of Hope and Fireside Song, Red Book of Westmarch, and Steward of Gondor.

Burst into Song does not replace Fast Hitch, nor Unexpected Courage, but complements them by occasionally increasing the versatility of heroes in the face of encounter cards that would often require exhausting the characters.

This is an event that also makes the integration of Song cards into the deck more profitable or viable by reducing the opportunity cost of having sacrificed several deck slots for these cards. As such, Forth, The Three Hunters! and a possibly different Song attachment provided for each hero (for example Song of Mocking, Song of Healing, Song of Hope, or attachments of access to other spheres Song of Travel, Song of Battle, Song of Wisdom, Song of Kings), can provide a good opportunity to add Burst into Song to the deck and trigger it around mid-game.

First review for this card. Orophin is a versatile ally and one of the rare Silvans to target and interact with an ally card that is not in the hand but in the discard pile. There are three types of allies that he will likely bring back :

1) A Silvan ally who was the victim of a treachery during the staging step (for example Galadriel's Handmaiden), or an ally whose main interest lies in his entry effect and which we had to use as a chump-blocker (but which we could benefit from replaying in order to benefit from its entry effect), for example Galadhrim Minstrel.

2) Silvan Refugee if an ally left the game before being able to use Silvan Refugee with The Tree People, or in case this event was triggered with Silvan Refugee while another Silvan Refugee was in play.

3) A Sylvain ally useful in combat but who did not survive a previous attack (for example Greenwood Defender). Furthermore, not only is Orophin from the same sphere as Thranduil, but he can also serve as a transmission belt for it : Orophin returns an ally from the discard to hand, then Thranduil plays it during the combat phase, depending on the needs of the moment.

The ideal conditions and terms for playing Orophin :

• Include three copies of The Tree People, and return a cheap ally such as Galion or Silvan Refugee to hand, for put Orophin into play for free.
• If you have not put Orophin into play with The Tree People, O Lórien! allows you to pay only 2 resources for it. That is a pretty nice cost-stat ratio.
• Have planned at least one copy of Host of Galadhrim to allow him to return several allies to your hand during the game.
• Include Map of Rhovanion to benefit from its Scout trait.
• Play Rúmil, and attach Rivendell Bow or Bow of the Galadhrim to Orophin; include at least one copy of Hands Upon the Bow.
• Include Galadriel to let Orophin quest at 2 without exhausting, when he enters play.
