In a pure gondor deck gotta be a 2. Gondor can’t remove burdens. Full stop. Anything else like throw in the pippin engine and he’s great at least a 4. I will wait on voting til i see heis sword ccos that might make him 5. Who knows?

Unless his sword is total sweetness, this denethor is only going to see player’s binders IMHO.

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you. Razz

It’s a cool concept, but based on the info we have so far, it’s simply too dangerous to see serious play. Gondor doesn’t have a good way to nullify those burdens, and even with a Shire or Gandalf splash, you’d be at serious risk from corruption or resistance-manipulation Shadow. The benefit of being able to exert companions for a Noble Leaders effect just isn’t worth it.

And as Bib mentioned, every Denethor must ultimately be compared with Denethor, Lord of Minas Tirith. LoMT is still the way to go!

My guess is that Denathor’s Sword will have text similer to Saruman’s Staff, Wizard’s Device: i.e. "Make the first sentance of Denathor’s gametext not apply..."

Yeah i agree that would be the obvious text for his sword. Or something like "if Denethors game text adds a burden cancel that effect."

Well now the sword has been revelead and its a load of doo doo i can safely vote 2. Not a 1 cos a 2 cost 8 strength guy is cool, but burdening gondor is sooo not cool.

If he has his sword on when you move you won’t be able to use the skirmish ability to make any gondor guy strength and damage +1.

That ability would be amazing with Faramir and Boromir and Stewards legacy as well as Elendil, the tall with Narsil, Blade of the Faithful to get a damage bonus. He’s got all kinds of vitality.

Is there a way to take the sword off after you move?

The special ability still applies, it does not belong to the game text!
