Id recomend throwing in some Knight's Spear or a few weapons of some kind other and why are you using the The One Ring, Such a Weight to Carry? Why not The One Ring, Answer To All Riddles?

The deck looks good. ATAR instead of SAWTC for sure.

High King of Gondor instead of Elendil, The Tall.

Alcarin instead of Denethor.

I don't like using Pallando without a Gandalf culture companion. Maybe add two or three copies of Grimbeorn.

Dark Horseman and Bill Ferny, Agent of Saruman will cause you some problems.

MenOf Numenor to clean up when you've exhausted the gondor bows

[Witchkingx5]

What about some Leader of the Company with Roll of Thunder? That would amke Pallando even more playable.

As comps, I'd suggest:

Alcarin x1 (start
Ingold 1x (start)
Elendil, High King of Gondor 1x
Aragorn, Captain of Gondor 2x
Boromir, Hero of Osgiliath 1x
Imrahil, Prince of Dol Amroth 2x
Faramir, DoO x1
Gandalf, LotC x3

Something like that.

Also nice cards would be:

2x Roll of Thunder
2x or 3x Terrible and Evil
2x or 3x G for Grand (pretty cool with Elendil, HkoG)

That's what I would play, but it's just a suggestion.

Thanks for comments, they are realy helpful for me.

I see SWTC is unuseful on Iisildur. I am switching for ATAR.
Elendil, HKoG seams reasonable, he can be healed by aragorn .

What I dont think I need is more healing. I especially dont like Men of Numenor, it is not hard to find that oponent has no card in hand or just some events etc. And I have Aragorn, Ingold, Alcarin, Boromir and banners for healing already.
I still think Denethor is better, he helps to clean a deck little bit and find Elendil/ARagorn or something I need at site 3. But I have both Alcarin and Denethor in deck so I will try them and I will see.
Pallando is only way to discard conditions. Disadventage of 2 exerts is huge, but I hop that I am still able to heal it sometimes. Bt Grimbeorn or Radagast seems as definetely viable companions....
Against Nertea and Ferny... I will try to pick up old Aragorns Bow, it may help.
ith Gandalf, Knights are missing discarding of conditions and possessions and buden removal, so Gandal is viabl adition for Pallando, Roll of Thunder, Watch and Wait and probably Terrible and Evil for direct wounding.... I tried to use him with these cards, but, unfortunatel, i am not able to fit it in 30cards without giving up of fortifications.

So new decklist seems like:
Isildur, Bearer of Heirlooms
The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles

Elendil, High King of Gondor 1x
Aragorn, Captain of Gondor 1x
Denethor, Lord of Minas Tirith 1x (start)
Ingold 1x (start)
Alcarin, Warrior of Lamedon 1x (alternate instead of Denethor)
Boromir, Hero of Osgiliath 1x
Imrahil, Prince of Dol Amroth 1x
Pallando, Far-Travelling One 1x

Narsil, Blade of the Faithful 1x
Banner of Westernesse 2x
Gondor Bow 3x
Aragorns Bow 1x
Scroll of Isildur 1x
Sapling of the White Tree 3x

Citadel of the Stars 1x
Fourth Level 4x
Fifth Level 3x
Sixth Level 3x

Total 30 cards

Ring of Rings is meta because of burden decks that play people around me often. It is nice deck, played with forest nazguls or old time uruk beatdown with Saruman, Keeper of Isengard. With Forestguls have these knights really fast cards cycle and are able to be full played really fast.
