He’s not bad for a budget player, Theoden’s rare in a set with more rares than anything else, and this guy’s got 7 strength, so if Decipher’s trying to make the game playable for new players, this guy works.
But a side note:
Look at the guy’s costume, it looks familier... Yes, I have a feeling that this guy is no less then....

His flavor text is interesting...the pillage of the Westfold, the brutal slaughter of women and children, the ruthless destruction...I guess we can just blame that on the corruption of Theoden. 
Due to the fact that  site control is being revamped in RoS, this guy might see some play; otherwise, he is a disappointment. I give it a 2. |

Riddermark Javelin, play it, discard it, play it back on someone else. |

Play Coif, Rohirrim Axe, and Riddermark Javelin on this guy and he wouldn’t be half bad IMHO. Rohirrim Axe is perfect for skirmishing the new site control Uruks; I think this guy will see some play.  |

I agree with AP. I gave him a 3 because, while far from a great companion (even among non-uniques), he’s not that bad, either. With pretty good stats, it can’t hurt to load him up on a few of Rohan’s many possessions and shut down site control in the process.
He’ll have his uses. He’s no Eomer or Theoden, but he’s not awful either. |

concidering the new site control strategy, i think he fits quite nicely into a rohan archery deck. play a possession like Riddermark Javelin and Rohirrim Bow if your playing in expanded, and he has an easy way to shed those possessions. if you play possessions on him 6 times (if you play a mount, arm0r, hand-weapon-and multiple ranged weapons), that could kill site control while using a normal rohan archery deck.
all in all, useful in the right meta, or if you run a rohan archery deck. |

Meh, I’m not too fond of this card. I give it a 2; for the same cost, I can also player Éomer, Northman or Éomer, Horsemaster; the latter can even play for  less! This companion gets a 2 from me. |

| yeah, but he is easy for newer players to get. I think he is pretty decent. |
