Best cards to pair with Galion, Elvenking's Butler in The Hobbit limited

common

Woodland Weavemaster

Creature — Elf Druid

Woodland Weavemaster is a large Elf that Galion can copy stats onto, and Weavemaster grows each time another Elf enters, making Galion's ability increasingly powerful as the game progresses.

Guardian of the Halls

Creature — Elf Soldier

Guardian of the Halls is a large Elf body that Galion can copy its power and toughness onto another creature, effectively giving a second creature the same large stats for a combat turn.

Boughside Wanderers

Creature — Elf Scout

Boughside Wanderers can grow to a large size via Landfall triggers, and Galion can copy those boosted stats onto another creature during combat, creating a second large attacker unexpectedly.

uncommon

Mirkwood Pathmaker

Creature — Elf Ranger

Mirkwood Pathmaker's power and toughness scale with lands controlled, making it a naturally large Elf that Galion can copy stats from onto another creature, and both benefit from the same land-heavy strategy.

rare

Thranduil, the Elvenking

Legendary Creature — Elf Noble

Thranduil draws cards when legendary Elves enter, and Galion is a legendary Elf, so playing Galion triggers Thranduil's draw ability; together they form a powerful legendary Elf engine that draws cards and enables combat tricks.
