After being informed that tom bombadil is broken I have decided to take him out of my project list and replace him with my favourite of the five wizards, radagast the brown, has anybody any experience using him? Does anybody have any tactics by which he is most effective?

I've heard tell that Radagast's Panic Steed is a poor man's Sorcerous Blast, and the lack of Blinding Light and Strengthen Will is a little disapointing compared to Gandalf, but if you place him behind warriors and use him to heal your heroes, needing no line of sight, you can't go far wrong.

Does Panic Steed still work on a Mûmak or Beast of Golgoroth?

Unfortunately it does as it affects the beasy not thr rider so it also cant be resisted this is the current ruling unless they have faq it

His panicked stted ability is pretty good, especially if the enemy has a Nazgul on a Fell Beast

On the topic of whether it affects Mûmak/Beast of Golgoroth or not, I don't think it does. They are different things all together and aren't steeds per se. For example a hero on horse is taking the horse as a steed whereas a Mumak and a beast have a howdah and the guys on are a crew. The mumak isn't an upgrade for a rider rather the crew are an upgrade to the mumak. For that reason I don't think it'll work. (plus if you did do that do someone using a Mumak you would likely see them quit)

I reckon killing nazguls would be pretty amusing with the weakest of the three middle earth wizards, and also I'd give up if a spell killed my mumak too

There are actually 5 Wizards but he is the 'worst' playable on in SBG.
