Title: Blade of Gondor
Post by: Gerontius on May 22, 2009, 03:53:02 PM
Recently, I traded for a copy of Blade of Gondor, Sword of Boromir; and I want to build a deck with a Gondor/Unbound Hobbit theme. (With one copy I can't have it as a key part of the deck, but still)
Does anyone have ideas of how to run it?

I would play the following companions:

Faramir, BoQ
Boromir, DG
Pippin, WoBaS
Merry, Resolute Friend (or another one)

2 Tom Bombadil, The Master
2 Goldberry, river Daughter

Faramir's Sword

2 Phial of Galadriel, Starglass
2 Pippin's Dagger
2 Hobbit Sword
2 Bow of Minas Tirith
2 Ranger's Cloak
2 Armor of the white city
2 Blade of Gondor, Sword of Boromir
2 Shield of the white tree
2 Dagger Strike
2 Banners Blowing
2 well-traveled
2 Incognito
2 Kingsfoil

As ever, just a few ideas!

I like the idea, but I don't have a lot of the cards. Maybe WoBaS, Shadowplay, Bow of Minas Tirith, Hobbit Swordplay, Ancient Roads, etc....
Tom Bombadil would be fun, too. :uh-huh:

Guardian is also not a bad card to have if one of your hobbits is about to get slaughtered

I run a slightly sillier deck which is just built around Boromir killing every minion.

Frodo, Protected by Many
Ring of Doom

Boromir, Destined Guide
Merry, Loyal Companion
Pippin, WoBaS

Aragorn, Well-Traveled Guide

Blade of Gondor, Sword of Boromir x2
Hobbit Sword
Kingsfoil x3
Brego, Loyal Steed
Gondorian Blade
Ranger's Cloak
Shield of the White Tree
Bow of Minas Tirith

Spirit of the White Tree
Not Bound to His Fate x4
Strength in My Blood x4
Heirs of Gondor x2

Guarded City x3
Last Throw

So you bid to go first, then play Prancing Pony for Aragorn. Play all your stuff on Boromir, then Guarded City onto Heirs of Gondor. If all else fails, kill Boromir and the Hobbits and run with Aragorn and Frodo with any of the [Gondor] support stuff going on Aragorn instead.
