SFTF Rohan (NEEDS WORK)

Rider's Mount x4

I guess it is just a preference thing for me, but I would prefer having each individual character's mount and weapon. Because you are controlling the set up, you really don't even need Simbelmyne...

Still no The Red Arrow? With a Gondor ring-bearer, I think that is brilliant!

I've never understood the usefulness of The Red Arrow. Yes, it's great with Rohirrim Army and Keeper of Oaths, but otherwise it seems like a lot of exerting for...what? I just don't understand how it's really useful outside of the combo with the two companions I mentioned.

Sorry to go off on a tangent, but every time I see someone recommend The Red Arrow, I scratch my head and wonder why.

[ket_the_jet]

Just the exertion to play the companion is nice. Unclog your hand, combat swarm, and avoid Shotgun Enquea and other maneuver actions that are similar.

But, yeah. Rohirrim Army for the free minion discard is almost worth putting it in for alone.

hmm yes to the part about individual possessions, i will probably change that

no to the red arrow, i just can't see the draw of it...

[ket_the_jet]

I suppose I am in a losing battle with The Red Arrow.

I only prefer the first part...the "You may..." is unnecessary for how I have used it.

With the red arrow, rohhirim army needs to be in your hand correct? I haven't played LOTR in the longest time

[legolas3333]

Yes, it does

That's a nice idea. I think Sftf - Theoden combo would be best used as a second burn.
For example: Start Leader of Men and Elite Rider, burn Rider to get Theoden, TaP, Eowyn and Gamling. Then burn Theoden and with him play Eomer (Keeper of Oaths for maximum effect) and take 3 possessions (Eowyn's Sword, Firefoot and Eomer's Spear for example).

Now the question that pops up for me: If you burn Theoden, TaP and play Eomer, KoO, what comes first? Do you get to reveal 10 top cards and play any possessions and then take any 3 cards from deck or do you have to play Eomer, KoO, take 3 cards and then reveal top 10 cards. I think it's the former but I'm not sure.

Ya, then run the filter Gamling, pair with swarm and kill people.

EDIT: Ach...not movie block. whoops. well if anyone wants to try expanded- filter Gamling works well.

Or Gimli RB with Calculated Risk.
