Title: What are some strategies to protect your possessions from getting discarded?
Post by: sgtdraino on September 04, 2012, 01:53:56 PM

Lately I've been bumping up against some decks that play havoc with discarding my free peoples possessions, leaving my guys with nothing.

What are some strategies/cards that people can use to help protect their possessions from such attacks?

I'd like this thread to be a repository for such strategies. Your help is appreciated!

Of the top of my head:

Elven Brooch
On Your Doorstep
Sword Rack
These Are My People
Merry, Swordthain
Weapon Store
Ecglaf
Dear Friends (if your desparate and have a way to shuffle your deck)
Proud and Able

Don't use possessions in the first place! I have a SFTF deck (Movie) that pumps up Aragorn and Elendil with Anduril and Narsil, respectively, and use Sharpen Your Swords, SOTSF and Noble Leaders for strength boosts. Start Gandalf Leader of Men and a Ranger of Ithilien, then burn the ranger ASAP to get set up with your big fighters. You'll also have Boromir, Faramir and Denethor in there as extra meat shields. The only possession I use is an Armor, and the only Shadow cultures that can discard it are precisely those that I won't need the armor against.

Doesn't Beyond the Height of Men discards armor, and isn't it from a culture that packs quite a punch against unarmored characters?

True enough, but a lot of [Isengard] decks don't even pack that card. And Aragorn and Elendil are usually strong enough to take out the Uruks anyway, since Savagery is banned in Movie block.
