Most buids use merry swordthain and that Eowyn that can discard possessions on her to put her sword in the discard so you can get it back with merry.

However, i like your build. I would cut one Hobbit Party Guest for another copy of Eomer, as he is your 'big' companion. i also fell that Rohirrim Army and Gamling are unnesecary. Have you considered rohirrim helm?

You don't need that many multiples of companions if you have 4 Simbelmyne. Out of key cards, I would rather add more Merry's Sword (if Corsair Marauder or Grond discards it) and Eowyn (as healing her is more needed than healing Eomer).

That build would be the standard version, since merry's sword can be caught by Sword Rack... And as for Gamling and army... Quantity over quality. I only need Eowyn and Eomer, everyone else can die heroic deaths.

I would most definately add Erkenbrand, since he is a great way to get rid of a keypossession, like Grond or Ships of Great Draught. Disagree with Arcanite, since Merry is key obviously to keep you save from Enquea or any big minion with high vitality. Maybe add some strategy next time for those new to the site?

@Gil, Erkenbrand is a much better idea than elite rider.
