think elrond will appear, but perhaps in a later cycle, perhaps a lone lands/ trollshaws/ angmar cycle, and im guessing he will be very powerful, such as

Elrond - Leadership

Threat cost- 13

Willpower- 3

Attack- 3

Defense- 3

Hit points- 4

Ability- discard a card from your hand to give all characters +1 willpower until the end of the turn

He'd probably fit better as a Lore Hero.

The way it works so far (as it seems to me) is that cheaper heroes come off more powerful. It would be a waste to have a hero with 3 Will, 3 Attack, 3 Defense. The ability is mostly what makes them tick, plus one good stat. Théodred is a great hero even though he always quests for one (unless boosted).

As for the preview, I find Descendant of Thorondor just amazing. The best eagle so far and my vote for the best generic ally so far (tied with Northern Tracker).

It will be an excellent addition to tactics decks everywhere.

I'm kind of hoping to see Eomer as one of the two remaining Heroes for the Mirkwood cycle. I wouldn't mind if he was a tactics hero either.

Gondor will have gotten all sphere heroes by Dead Marshes. I can see Rohan extending to Tactics surely, especially as Spirit-Tactics is a combo much suggested. I do not think we will see a Lore Rohan hero (or even ally) any time soon. And I really hope the two remaining heroes in the cycle are Elves.
