Using the Staff is an Action, not a Response, so no.
Solo: Gandalf & Eagles Fly to Mt. Doom
How does Winged Guardian fit into this deck? Is it always a sacrifice when you block? I am fairly certain Elrond can't pay to keep the Guardian in play. So swapping it out for Defender of Rahmas seems like a much better ally.

Yes, he is merely there to block, die, and then feed my Eagles of the Misty Mountains. Same with Vassal of the Windlord. They cannot stay around long because Gandalf does not work to keep them in play.
