Hmm... interesting. It cancels the drawbacks of Denthor, Steward of the City and the Denethor from T&D, but it also cancels anything in that game text that could help. I suppose it could be useful if you just want his sweet stats, or if you played it on Denethor, Steward of the City after he used his ability. But it doesn’t seem very good with the new Denethor.

This makes Denethor, On the Edge of Madness look a whole lot better.
A 5 from me!  |
| I had to put something here. |

| Yuck. There is no reason to use this, or the new Denethor. |

| This doesnt stop abilities, just game text. The new Boromir could pull this and then you could play Denethor. I hope there is another card, maybe Denethor’s Cloak(?) to help this out. |

| This sword does indeed stop Denethor’s special abilities, which is why this sword is useless on the new Denethor. |

Of course, with a  Man that doesn’t have a hand weapon, all you need to do is add  to gain the ability to use any of Denethor’s fellowship abilities. (Transfer, and transfer back) |
Our time here is ending...
What did you want to see before the end?
It will be made in the Request-a-card Set #1 (name ideas also welcome  ). |

| I’d rather give Denethor a good sword, like Ithilien Blade or Gondorian Blade or something. |

The potential of this card lies in the possibility of getting benefits from Denethor’s game text at certain times, and using the sword to prevent bad things from happening at other times. Notice that it can be passed around freely among your Men.
With the new Denethor, On the Edge of Madness, you could take advantage of the Noble Leaders-like text until you’re just a couple burdens shy of corruption, then play (or transfer) Denethor’s Sword to prevent him from adding any more burdens.
Or with Denethor, Steward of the City, you could play a fellowship full of knights for next to nothing, then play (or transfer) the Sword to prevent all that burden/threat nastiness.
These would still be extremely risky plans, of course. Don’t draw Denethor’s Sword in time = auto-loss. Sword gets discarded = auto-loss. But for the extremely brave/reckless, it might be fun to try. |

| This is lame, and it makes the other denethor lame as well. 1 as its just pointless. |
