Okay, so this is a new strategy of mine. The point is to take an obscure strategy, or keyword, or something like that, and make it work.
So, let’s have a go at it.
We’ll start with a  keyword called Valiant.
VALIANT COMPANIONS (That...are actually worth using. No Household Guard... )
Eowyn, Lady of Rohan
Eowyn, Sister-Daughter of Theoden
Gamling, Warrior of Rohan
Rohirrim Scout
Theoden, King of the Golden Hall
Eomer, Rohirrim Captain
Elfhelm, Marshal of Rohan
Eomer, Skilled Tactician
Eown, Dernhelm
Theoden, Leader of Spears
Eomer, Keeper of Oaths
Theoden, Tall and Proud
Eomer, Horsemaster
Eowyn, Willing Fighter
Gamling, The Old
Rohirrim Soldier
Rohirrim Warrior
Aragorn, Defender of Rohan
Eomer, Eored Captain
Eowyn, Lady of the Mark
CARDS USING VALIANT
Simbelmyne
Let Us Be Swift
No Rest for the Weary
Sigewulf, Brave Volunteer
Grim Trophy
Horseman of the North

| Yeah, valiant had SO much potential. It was okay, in the end, but could have been much better. Heck, I think even villager was more useful overall.... |

If you would call it Hold-on it would sound almost like Howdaw!

Too good. Make it strengthy stuff (see reviews below).

Don’t like it much. Maybe something more imaginative.

Brackets are totally unnecessary. I’d make it cost and just make it borne by a valiant Man (which should always be capitalised).

I like this one, but I think the original bearer should also have to be valiant.

Fantastic!

Why are you making so good at archery? They’ve never been before. I honestly do not like it. I’d prefer a token card like this that would make valiant Men stronger by removing tokens.

Again, what have valiant Men got to do with archery? They should be about strength and honour and beating minions fair and square in a huge strength fight. Make it strength, and this card rocks!

Incredibly broken. You might as well read this card as ’Each time you move, discard all minions). That ability costs  and an exertion for GANDALF to do! Tone him down like hell, remove his unnecessary damage bonus and probably make him more to do with strength like my previous suggestions.
Good idea, and I salute you for it, but some more thought is needed on these cards, in my opinion.
