--- description ---
The leaders of Gondor use conditions and culture tokens to defeat Sauron’s forces. Expanded format.
--- end description ---
Starting
Boromir, Bearer of Council
The One Ring, the Ring of Rings
Aragorn, Isildur’s Heir
Free Peoples (31 + Starting)
Elendil, High-King of Gondor
Faramir, Prince of Ithilien
Isildur, Heir of Elendil
Denethor, Lord of Minas Tirith
Tradesman From Lebennin x3
Anduril, Flame of the West x2
Gondorian Sword x4
Gondorian Steed
Brego, Loyal Steed
Ranger’s Cloak x2
King’s Legacy x2
Confronting the Eye
Noble Leaders x2
Garrison of Osgiliath
Houses of Healing
Heirs of Gondor
Support of the City
Ithilien Trap
Pledge of Loyalty x4
Strategy
Aragorn, Isildur’s Heir will be the main fighting companion once his conditions are in play. Elendil, Isildur, and Faramir can help out as well. Tradesman From Lebennin can reinforce tokens as needed. In general, Boromir will not be skirmishing a lot, but with a Ranger’s Cloak to boost his resistance and vitality he can survive a few skirmishes.
Any feedback is appreciated.  |

I agree with Elf Lvr. One good way to fix that problem is simply to make sure you have Denethor, Lord of Minas Tirith out by site three, so he can fill in any holes in your setup. With this decktype Denethor is almost always part of the starting fellowship. Alternately, you could consider running four copies of him, as he can always use the healing. 
Scroll of Isildur may be missed... |

Yeah I’m considering putting in Scroll of Isildur and a few copies Sapling of the White Tree. I could also start Denethor and Faramir, but then getting Aragorn out could be a problem (he’s not a ranger, otherwise I could just use the Prancing Pony). So I suppose 4 copies of Denethor is the way to go.
Any more ideas? |

| You could always start Boromir, Faramir, and then Aragorn, Strider. |

But then he wouldn’t get the cool strength bonus from Aragorn, Isildur’s Heir. |

Verdad, I guess it depends on whether you want to start Aragorn or not.
I love the ranger SF that goes like this:
Faramir, Captain of Gondor
Aragorn, Strider
Gondorian Prowler (x any number)
Madril, Defender of Osgiliath
Any random 1 cost companion
Which lets you max out at nine companions quite easily. |

I was thinking of starting:
Boromir, Bearer of Council
The One Ring, The Ring of Rings
Denethor, Lord of Minas Tirith
Faramir, Prince of Ithilien
Aragorn, Strider
However, as AC said, then I wouldn’t get the bonus from Isildur’s Heir. But it could work. |

| Yes, that would have to be your call. If you wanted to filter, you might consider putting Aragorn, Isildur’s Heir back in your draw deck, and instead sticking in a gondorian prowler. |

If you absolutely love the Isildur’s Heir deck build, I have a TON of advice for you, my friend runs a deck like that and its his best. First, I should say, drop the skirmish events. you probably wont need them. Isildur ring-bearer and boromir, hero of osgiliath would be better than what you’ve got, IMHO. Three copies of Heirs of Gondor and Noble Leaders is a must, in case you have to use them up early. Stock a companion (probably boromir) with posessions (a sword and bow, athelas, so forth) and use Gaurded City. That is THE token reinforcement card. Drop Ithilien Trap, it isn’t worth it. Also, you may want to drop king’s legacy and confronting the eye, maybe elendil too. What good does he do you if you put narsil on the r-b? (if you end up using the isildur r-b). Citadel of minas tirith is also helpful.
just my two cents. |
