No, 3 per deck.

"Additionally, no more than three copies of any card, by
title, can be included in a player’s deck. Within these
guidelines any combination of allies, attachments, and
events can be used in the player deck."

I think i saw in the rules that Gandalf is the only free for all card in the core set and you can have only one copy of him in your deck.I ll check again.

Each starter deck should also include one copy of the neutral ally card,Gandalf(card 73).

Maybe this rule is only for starter decks and you can have 3 copys of Gandalf in a customize deck?Please explain that to me cause you allready know that my English sucks .

The quote you found is simply informing players that each deck will come with one Gandalf card already in it. But that doesn't mean you can't add more copies when you create your own custom decks. When building a deck, you can have up to three Gandalfs (or any other card).

One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Works like that in all the LCG's, they tell you how to build the decks. But when you build your own you can have up to 3 of any card. Even unique cards.

You can have three copies of Gandalf in your deck but since it's a unique card, you can only have one copy of the card in play in the game at any given moment..

English is not my native language.

We know, confusion Servant had was from two different paragraphs in the rulebook, one of which says each deck should have one Gandalf in it. For the 30 card starter decks.

Yea also Beardfan said that his respons has changed.You dont discard a minion but you deal 4 wounds.

Beardfan old Gandalf's text says tha you must discard Gandalf at the end of the turn.This counts for the new Gandalf card or they change that too?

Yes, the new Gandalf also has to be discarded at the end of turn. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact responses on Gandalf's card. It were 3 alternative  responses. I think one was to lower threat of one player, one was to inflict damage, on was to draw cards.

Yes, but there's also an info that You can built decks to max 50 cards for tournaments and stuff like that. So it looks like if You want to start playing fast out of the box You can use those 30 card sphere decks and after that You can custimise Your deck and make it a 30-50 cards. That's good, and now i know I need more sleeves.

Can't wait for the first time, when I open the box and start playing.

FFG Fan, as I read it, it was minimum 50 card decks for regulation sized decks, rather than the 30-50 size decks. You're going to need even MORE sleeves than you thought =)

Most card games its best to stick to the minimum size for draw consistency. The bigger the deck, the harder to get the cards you want/need.
