At the start of the regroup phase, you may exert Gimli to play a tale from your discard pile.

While I don't want to get involved, this seems like it is happening so I will at least throw my two cents in. My rationale is that this card isn't intrinsically good enough to make Gimli a mainstay in Gondor Bowmen decks, but it might give a little boost to some of the tale strategies.

I like the idea of being able to play tales from the discard pile as it is relatively untouched territory in Fellowship block and sticks with the [Dwarven] theme of digging for what you need.

I picked the regroup phase because I am not too fond of the idea of this happening in fellowship (The Council of Elrond) or maneuver (Gondor Bowmen when you need it) but I don't mind the exert post-skirmishes as much. And I picked the start of the phase because I wouldn't want a full reload of Gondor Bowmen or those pesky The Last Alliance of Elves and Men.

Of course, don't forget about the potential card-drawing machine with Red Book of Westmarch.
