Pretty straight-forward wounding strategy: get Stewards' Legacy out ASAP and then use DiaH and NTitL and exert to exert+wound in one hit. If needed, ditch a useless possession (like your guys are gonna fight...) and use Denethor's ability to destroy some high vitality guys, then proceed to use your events, or even Brego, LS, to finish minions off in maneuver. Addtl. option w/ Thorongil; be careful with threats. Added with max base 4 archers and the possible added arrows at battleground sites w/ the bows, archery should finish off the wounded and weak. If that doesn't work, you have Legolas or Madril's ability in combo with Hardy Garrison for more double-wounding fun. If by some chance your guys do have to fight, you'll usually have a beefy Thorongil (nabbed w/ The Prancing Pony) w/ a sword, bow, cloak, and some hunting capabilities.

Paired with a Harsh Tongues/Rout Shadow. Pretty much an all around wounding deck.

Could use some trimming down, but other than that, any critiques?

Does this deck work? It seems as though you wound minions then exert them, so if its a 2 vitality minions you can't kill it with 1 DiaH.

[Anautikus]

I'm pretty sure Stewards' Legacy's effect kicks in before the event's wound ability, because of the "each time" effect.

EDIT: Confirmed. It works

add saga of elindil for more vitality

[Gil-Estel]

Try to fit in Shards of Narsil, it can be so good, cause what if you have 3 Steward's Legacies early game? Stack all you don't need yet onto Shards. Maybe use Denethor to get it at site 3 or make a gandalf twist with Terrible and Evil and Saved from the Fire, to make a dream start with Gondor.

Maybe add Faramir (T&D one) for more action with steward's legacy. That way you heal and you paralize a potential threat.

What do you do vs decks that play prewounding prevention? Or Morgul orcs?

[Gil-Estel]

continue the wounding :-) till they are dead!! Oh and Denethor, Last Ruling Steward! He is brilliant! 1 possession gone, 2 exertions added, that is amazing!

[Anautikus]

I'd go with Faramir, CoI, but I don't have it. Same with Saved From the Fire lol
As far as archery and wounding, most minions die by the maneuver phase
The deck's really just susceptible to hate. I think I'm gonna add a Saga, and maybe drop a Legacy (though, the deck sort of revolves around it.. ) and maybe try to add Shards.

PS - Oh the Denethor thing is nice, but I think he would work better with his own style deck (Heirs of Gondor, Boromir, DH, etc.)

[Gil-Estel]

An own style deck? This is his style of deck, check the number of possessions you have, check the aim of the deck: maneuver wounding...dude, seriously, this entire deck screams Denethor....
