lord of the rings card game hunt for gollum

His ability is nice in solo play (fairly lame in multiplayer), but other than that, he is mostly a waste.

I think Bilbo is one of the most overcosted heroes in the game to date. beravor can fill any role with all 2's even if not well and ori has dain to make him a great quest and respectable fighter. finally, lore is the weakest of the four types right now so you have to view them as support for the time being, and poor bilbo just doesnt support beyond his text and resource type. ori and beravor both outdraw him are within + or - one threat and as far as hobbit support frodo is on top of the mountain in all departments. bilbo was just poorly executed im afraid. and to be honest, u likely had to insert that will card that shuffles the discard into deck anyway for protector and bilbo to get the most out of him. yes u had to build a deck around it but i know u inserted less cards than building around bilbo. beravor for the sake of drawing cards only needs one card to work as good or better than bilbo and that is unexpected courage which gives u 2 cards every turn.

fast hitch, protector, etc are good but what happens when he loses those to shadow effects and such? well then hes back to being a bad card. The problem with bilbo is that he is useless without combos.
