I usually use this deck with quite a few more cards in but cut it down to 38 for the purposes of the forums. I pack a few more possesions for denethor as then you can afford to throw them away like a nutter.
Idea:
Kill anything you dont like the look of in the maneuver phase. Exert with Denethor and wound with Brego or No travellers in this land. Also this deck doesnt break the rule of 5 and shouldnt need to as it doesnt get into many fights.
Tactic:
Keep out a few possessions on your companions for Denethors gametext. Get your token conditions out along with aragorn who likes them. Put his bow, a sword, brego and a kingsfoil on aragorn then use guarded city to stack tokens on whichever card takes your fancy. I use storied homestead personally as cancelling special abilities is sweet. Throne of minas tirith reinforces even more. Brego loyal steed uses them as and when, usually when you dont have a ntitl in your hand. Anything that gets through should get mashed by aragorn, use banners blowing if needs be and it can be fetched from the discard for emergencys. Sometimes the archery from gorn and fazza can be enough to kill things if you leave enough exerted.
Variations:
Putting brego on faramir and playing stewards legacy is nice.
Adding more possessions (more kingsfoil or bow of minas tirith or knights spear i suggest) is easy enough as you can shift through them quite quickly and if you dont you can throw them to Halbarad’s healing ability.
Deck ( 38 )
The One ring the ring of rings
Boromir Bearer of council
Denethor last ruling steward
Faramir prince of ithilien
3x Aragorn isildurs heir
2x storied homestead
2x noble leaders
2x heirs of gondor
4x guarded city
4x gondorian blade
2x halbarad ranger of the north
2x kingsfoil
2x brego loyal steed
4x no travellers in this land
1x aragorns bow rangers longbow
1x faramirs bow ithilien longbow
2x bow of minas tirith
2x throne of minas tirith
3x banners blowing
As far as match ups go i dont have extensive experience against every type of deck but i dont think this has lost yet. Swarm gets reduced so they dont swarm. Beatdown is useless as you kill off the big guy. Bomb you select the nastiest minions and fight the rest. As long as denethor survives you should be ok. Can be tough if you dont get enough tokens but using denethor and no travellers should see you through. O and people playing the redhorn pass on you isnt nice! |

Cheers l3333 and AP, in my multiplayer group i play these extra cards:
2x rally the company
1x bow of minas tirith
2x kingsfoil
1x stewards legacy
1x faramirs sword
2x invigorated
2x knights spear
1x Aragorn isildurs heir (with ~50 cards i need 4 of him to get him out and heal him from the exertions with brego)

Yeah true but i meant particularly as im throwing away 2 or 3 possessions every turn and replaying them. Dont use athleas l3333 cos its standard.
Anyone else? |

I can’t imagine this deck with T&D coming out. If anything does survive the manuever, you would have The Faithful Stone to keep it at bay, and seeing how aragorn gets str+1 for ever card with a gondor token on it, nothing is going to survive.. |

So youre saying you approve?
Nah im not putting the faithful stone in. It has occured to me but its such a broken card, in the interest of fairness i only play PPE cards and THAT is not going in one of my decks!

Unfortunately (or fortunately, I guess...depends on how you look at it! ), I can’t think of any way to improve this. All I can perhaps suggest is that, if you take this into expanded format, it wouldn’t hurt to throw in a Banner of Westernesse or two for healing some of those exertions. But it’s far from necessary.
Excellent work. Have a ! |
