We can use him with any hero?Cause i dont see a sphere icon on his card.
Gandalf free for all?
As he is an ally, you need to pay x amount of resources to put him into play. As he does not have a sphere, this means you can use resources from any heroes, from any sphere, to pay for him. For example, you could pay 1 from Aragorn, 2 from Denethor and 2 from Gimli, even though they are of different spheres (assuming Gandalf's cost is 5; I have a feeling it is, but it probably isn't, knowing my memory).

I see.Thanks a lot for your reply.
Gandalf needs 6 resources to put him in play
.
If I remember correctly, they changed Gandalf's cost from 6 in the early preview to 5 in the finished game.

Forget my comment then.Less cost is allways better
I don't know... It still says 6 on both the home and description page. But if BeardFan saw it, I trust him.

Except, you have the old Gandalf card when they still had the symbols instead of the text saying istari or wizard. Make sure to update it once we get the final card. Thanks for your work!
Yeah, that's the old card. The response is also changed on the new card, I think it was not kill an enemy but inflict 4 damage now. And note that on the final cards, the willpower symbol is the top symbol now on the left side.

So Gandalf now plays with heroes with the willpower sphere?And about the response you still must discard Gandalf at the end of the turn?
No, you misunderstood me. Gandalf is a neutral card. The sphere you mean is spirit. Willpower is on of the 3 attributes of each character. What I meant is that on the prototype cards the first symbol was Attack, then Defense, then Willpower. On the final cards it's first Willpower, then Attack, then Defense.

Oh i see.Thanks for the reply.Is there a posibility we will see Gandalf as a hero and not only as an ally?

Everything is possible I suppose, but I don't really think so. Gandalf would have to be too powerful to be a faithful representation of the character we know from the novels. You'd lose the game before even starting it since your threat rating would be too high
Then i think the same think counts for Lady Galadriel:The power that dwelt there was to grate for any to overcome,unless Sauron had come there himself.
We have the rules now.Only one copy of Gandalf each player can have in his deck.
No, 3 per deck.
"Additionally, no more than three copies of any card, by
title, can be included in a player’s deck. Within these
guidelines any combination of allies, attachments, and
events can be used in the player deck."

I think i saw in the rules that Gandalf is the only free for all card in the core set and you can have only one copy of him in your deck.I ll check again.
Each starter deck should also include one copy of the neutral ally card,Gandalf(card 73).
Maybe this rule is only for starter decks and you can have 3 copys of Gandalf in a customize deck?Please explain that to me cause you allready know that my English sucks
.
The quote you found is simply informing players that each deck will come with one Gandalf card already in it. But that doesn't mean you can't add more copies when you create your own custom decks. When building a deck, you can have up to three Gandalfs (or any other card).

Thanks a lot Lausus.
Yes, now it is official -Gandalf is a neutral ally so every one can have him.

Works like that in all the LCG's, they tell you how to build the decks. But when you build your own you can have up to 3 of any card. Even unique cards.

Yea i understand that now.Thanks for answering my stupid questions allways.
And BeardFan was right, Gandalf is only 5 cost now!
You can have three copies of Gandalf in your deck but since it's a unique card, you can only have one copy of the card in play in the game at any given moment..
