Regarding Shadowfax, Agus made this comment in the feedback thread:
Balin wrote:Shadowfax is cool, but hard to play. First you must be Gandalf , second you rather sideboard Shadowfax after Gandalf enters play, finally Gandalf must be untapped at a site in Edoras. And then you score a ranger ally (which is cool, of course) for 1 MP only... Do you guys think we could virtualise a 2 MPs Shadowfax?
I was thinking about a cool way to speed up access to Shadowfax while retaining the Gandalf flavour:
Shadowfax wrote:Unique. Playable at any tapped or untapped non-Haven site in Rohan. Tap to cancel a strike (not from an automatic attack) against its bearer or itself. If your Wizard is not in play, Gandalf may be brought into play at the same site as Shadowfax (place Shadowfax with Gandalf). This does not count against the one character per turn limit and may not be used to play a different Wizard.
Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn met Gandalf at Fangorn with Shadowfax. At the same time, this doesn't prohibit other wizards or characters from using Shadowfax.
