Yeah! That’s what I’m talking about! Wonderfully cheap for 7 strength, but his main downside is his low resistance.
His other drawback is that if he loses a skirmish, you have to exert someone. But with his ability that triggers when he wins, you’ll be putting lots of gear on Isildur so it won’t be too likely that he will lose. Just assign someone weak to Isildur, and heal a companion! Then add in King’s Legacy and Banner of Westernesse, and you have some major healing capabilities.

Awesome card! Just ensure that he wins his skirmishes, and your fellowship is in ship shape! And he only costs  ! 
A 5 from me!  |

I think this guy is, well, junk. That 1 resistance will be nothing but a target for any opponent. All sorts of  cards will rip him to shreds... |

| 7 str for 2 cost is really good. Does Gondor really need anymore healing? |

Isildur was a pampered gondorian prince. Even in the time when Sauron was ravaging Middle-Earth, all he ever had to worry about was what to wear. When his big, bad dad, Elendil, wanted to to out with some elven buddies and take out Sauron, Isildur thought it would be a good time.
Then he saw an orc chop of somone’s head and made THAT face.
That pic is soooooooooooooo weird.
Nice card, though. |

| I like the card! And the resistance really makes him a difficult choice to play. Low cost, but low resistance. And I love the benefit! |

| Great card. He’s appropriately weak to resistance hNOLINKate, and really doesn’t like losing skirmishes, but that easy healing text is great -- like having King’s Legacy built right in. |

| I quite like this dude, id definately use him. Cos i would know hes instantly a target for cantea and uruks so it wouldnt bother me. But if you kept him alive, wow he’s useful. 2 cost for 7 strength and healing? 4 from me cos his exert drawback is painful. |

Very nice for a cost 2 Knight companion. His inherent drawback isn’t that rough, and he easily overcomes it with his own text, which is pretty nice itself. Give him a sword, and you can cut any of your card slots devoted to healing and throw in more important stuff. Typical 1 resistance, which is a drag, but oh well.
I give him a 5. |
