I'm fixing up my  tank deck; thoughts? Companions/Followers: Boromir, BoCThe One Ring, AtaRFaramir, CoGDenethor, LoMTAragorn, KiEElendil, TTPossessions/Artifacts: Blade of GondorFaramir's SwordGondorian Blade x2 Ranger's Cloak x3 Ring of BarahirNarsil, BotFThe Shards of NarsilScroll of IsildurSapling of the White Tree x3 Aragorn's BowConditions: The Saga of ElendilHeirs of GondorNoble Leaders x2 Soldier's CacheHouses of HealingBoromir, my BrotherEvents: Still Sharp x4 War and Valor x3 Banners Blowing x3 Hidden KnowledgeTotal (37) Basic strategy: beast your companions, win all skirmishes, double heal w/ Gorn (nabbed w/ The Prancing Pony) and his Ring of Barahir (can get w/ Denethor if needed), then lather, rinse, and repeat. A little big, but I paired it w/  Swarms and it seems to work nicely. Everything usually leaves my hand during both FP and Shadow. Sadly, I always get a Shadow kill, so I never fully test out the FP. Critiques? I thought of taking out some pumps to put in Guarded City and maybe another Heirs of Gondor; would that be wise? There are quite a bit of possessions, so Guarded City could overload HoG and Noble Leaders. What do you guys think? |

You know, you may want to throw in a copy of Gandalf's Cart just in case you have a possession before the respective companion. -wtk |

Well, with Faramir and Denethor starting, Aragorn pulled with the Pony, the only real item that would require stacking would be Narsil, and depending on the situation, I often times play it on Gorn or even Boromir. Denethor also helps me immensely at site 3  |

Hmm...I guess so. I didn't really look over the deck too much... ...anyways, you have the Shards of Narsil for card stacking. Why do you have so many skirmish events? Wouldn't you be better off with Still Sharp (fetch the Shards of Narsil at site three, if necessary) and Banners Blowing? That is an easy way to cut three cards out of the deck...I try to keep my decks below 35 cards and 32-34 is always best, in my opinion. -wtk |

Yeah Anautikus, what is this? Deckbuilding Dain-Style? He is the one that builds huge decks, but you should know better  |

Ring of Barahir is awesome!! It is a great way to make double use out of conditions. Their own purpose and now to heal as well. Artifact so that is good, if only it had a strength/vitality bonus....sigh....

Artifact so that is good, if only it had a strength/vitality bonus....sigh.... I guess I would personally prefer to avoid any Grima, Wormtongue-conflict. I am assuming Anduril, Flame of the West, Ring of Barahir, and Saga of Elendil. Considering goodies from sets 11-19, who knows what other items I would prefer over once healing per turn! -wtk |

lol Dain's style reflects on me  We just like putting it all in. Grima's whatever; I can handle a little hand clog for a turn. The ring is quite awesome. I never liked Flame of the West cuz then he can't hold his bow, and I don't have the money for StwB. Oh yea, I usually nab Shards w/ Denethor, along with either scrolls, or Noble Leaders (whatever I'm feeling at the moment). Stacking and Still Sharp do go a long way. I think I'm gonna try the Guarded City approach to Noble Leaders and Heirs of Gondor. Test it out, see how effective it is in this particular deck. |

I know I'm going off topic, but, is there any way you can splash Gandalf culture here? I've tested Gondor/Gandalf decks with the Gondor part like this, but they never worked out really well, although I'd love sooo much to have a Gondor beatdown with Gandalf splash! Please, can someone tell how to splash Gandalf here?
