Vassal of the Wondlord took first position in our list for Stat Value and now takes the third position in our list for Cost Value. This Tactics Ally is found in the Dead Marshes adventure pack from the Mirkwood Cycle expansions. His Cost Value is 200%.
As we have already seen in the previous post from the Stat Value list, this eagle earns high places in lists because three attack for a cost of only one resource is amazing value. The catch is that after attacking, the eagle does what so many powerful characters do; it runs away. Before ever playing LOTR LCG you may have thought that the weak, non-unique allies would be the ones constantly running away, but using it to balance powerful cards is now a well-established mechanic in this game.
This is one of those entries that doesn't highlight the ally in the best way; his entry at the top of the Stat Value list better describes the role of Vassal of the Windlord than an entry on the Cost Value list does. He has earned his place here because of low cost, not because of flexible stats.
