Basic strategy: beast your companions, win all skirmishes, double heal w/ Gorn (nabbed w/ The Prancing Pony) and his Ring of Barahir (can get w/ Denethor if needed), then lather, rinse, and repeat.
A little big, but I paired it w/ [Moria] Swarms and it seems to work nicely. Everything usually leaves my hand during both FP and Shadow. Sadly, I always get a Shadow kill, so I never fully test out the FP. Critiques? I thought of taking out some pumps to put in Guarded City and maybe another Heirs of Gondor; would that be wise? There are quite a bit of possessions, so Guarded City could overload HoG and Noble Leaders. What do you guys think?

Well, with Faramir and Denethor starting, Aragorn pulled with the Pony, the only real item that would require stacking would be Narsil, and depending on the situation, I often times play it on Gorn or even Boromir. Denethor also helps me immensely at site 3 :)

Yeah Anautikus, what is this? Deckbuilding Dain-Style? He is the one that builds huge decks, but you should know better :mrgreen:
-
I think Ring of Barahir is wildly over-rated, by the way.

Ring of Barahir is awesome!! It is a great way to make double use out of conditions. Their own purpose and now to heal as well. Artifact so that is good, if only it had a strength/vitality bonus....sigh....

lol Dain's style reflects on me :( We just like putting it all in.
Grima's whatever; I can handle a little hand clog for a turn. The ring is quite awesome. I never liked Flame of the West cuz then he can't hold his bow, and I don't have the money for StwB.
Oh yea, I usually nab Shards w/ Denethor, along with either scrolls, or Noble Leaders (whatever I'm feeling at the moment). Stacking and Still Sharp do go a long way. I think I'm gonna try the Guarded City approach to Noble Leaders and Heirs of Gondor. Test it out, see how effective it is in this particular deck.

I know I'm going off topic, but, is there any way you can splash Gandalf culture here? I've tested Gondor/Gandalf decks with the Gondor part like this, but they never worked out really well, although I'd love sooo much to have a Gondor beatdown with Gandalf splash! Please, can someone tell how to splash Gandalf here?
