You could always have a Sam, Son of Hamfast as a "one-and-done" burden removing machine Throw him under a Sauron or something... Why the One Ring, Isildur's Bane? Wouldn't having The One Ring, The Great Ring be much more effective at making your Ring-Bearer a fighter? There is certainly plenty of burden removal in the  culture. Just a warning, your Aragorn is, without a doubt, going to be killed by the third or fourth site. Can you run solo-Frodo with so few events? -wtk |

Ah, you are right. I need another Frodo... Second problem, Sam is X-listed in expanded. As for the ring, Isildur's Bane is the only rare ring I got. I'm not so sure Aragorn will die so soon. Sure, against some shadows it will be tough but I think he will last longer. I'll also try to trade a Anduril, Flame of the West and ditch Ranger's Sword and Flaming Brand. |

I would try to fit in more copies of Sting, and maybe some Orc Bane. Frodo, OBH + Bounder is a good engine for keeping him alive, too. |

I really enjoy aragorn defender decks. There are a few of my Aragorn decks in casual. If you're using wtg, the best thing you can do it maximize vitality (use anduril) and BRING ON THE SKIRMISH EVENTS! forget choke & gondor bowman. Replace them with gondor/shire skirmish events. banners blowing, swordarm of the white tower, and banner of the white tree are excellent choices. Drop down to 2 or 3 copies of PATH. dagger strike is another good choice for events. archery is not your friend, but there isn't much you can do about that. Rabbit stew is okay, but I haven't had much luck with it. you really should use the great ring, but if you don't own one, there isn't much you can do about that either. strength in my blood is also another excellent choice. that with anduril will give you str 11 and damage +2 in addition to an archery. If you have athelas, it is better than kingsfoil. Other than that you aren't going to find much in the way of discarding conditions... It's just the nature of the beast. I hope you don't feel like I'm destroying your deck, I just really like defender decks. |

@KTJ
When will Boro skirmish? awtg becomes defender +x and will have str enough and if boro skirmish then you take wounds and after that you heal them or you prevent wounds. And I use the sites for burdenremoval. See no problems with burdens or wounds. Sure there will be something against it, but I choose to go for my own str. And what the other does doesn't concern me that much.

he thought that "awtg" was an abbreviation or misspelling of some sort of wound-limiting device...he didn't know it was for aragorn, and thus his warning.

Personally my favorite is Faramir/Aragorn. A  Ring-bearer gets to share CoMT and take the exertions from Gondor Bowmen off Aragorn, who can then exert for his bow. Faramir is a bit more forgiving on assignments than Boromir and has his own bow as well. With Frodo/Aragorn, it felt like they're each doing their own thing... though I'm not sure how much that matters. |
