Good ally who massively boosts your card draw.

I can't get over the bad artwork. He is bald on top, with long hair on the sides... kind of like a mad professor combined with a rock guitarist? Also, necks don't bend that way.

It’s called a skullet. Portmanteau of skull and mullet. See Devin Townsend during the Strapping Young Lad years. Possibly the single I funniest haircut in the history of mankind. — PaxCecilia 1

Everytime I draw this one, it makes me happy. Gléowine is undeniably good card giving you 1 extra card per round for cost of two, accelerating your hand options and it even doesn't matter he is unique. He also got Rohan trait, which makes him good in rohan deck, good in multiplayer providing the card to any player and I also often use him in non-lore deck with discard mechanism and Stand and Fight. One of the best options for extra cards in play. Artwork is also very good. Verdict: 5/5.

Gleowine (or, if you're matthew dempsey, Gleowinny), is a pretty good card. I don't know of anyone who actually uses that single willpower stat or the two hit points, but an extra card a round with no downsides is a pretty good deal for two resources.

This guy is a life saver in my lore decks. Such card draw for so little investment, especially in solo play. In multi he is still helpful for your allies who are running low on cards. Great card! — Mad Morderan 137
Also, I should say that "gleowinny" is probably the correct pronunciation since the Rohirrim basically speak Old English, which has no silent letters. — Mad Morderan 137

Recently I've found a great combo for Gléowine in one of my RCO decks: use hero Faramir and play Leather Boots on Gléowine. Here's best case scenario:

  1. Draw a card with Gléowine.
  2. If you reveal a location, ready Gléowine with Leather Boots and draw another card.
  3. If you engage an enemy the same turn, ready him again with Faramir and draw another card.
  4. If you have Ever Vigilant in your deck, play it on Gléowine and draw another card!

This way you can draw 4 cards in one round with him. Sometimes even more if you engage enemies in different phases somehow and use Faramir's ability.
