What about Steadfast Champion ?  Why was it x-listed? I currently have one copy in my Gandalf, White Wizard deck

Steadfast Champion is X-ed because of the infinite loop with Treebeard, Keeper of the Watchwood.

Ok two more questions:

1. Why is aggression banned specifically?
2. Why only the Kings site path and not open to FOTR or TTT site paths?

Aggression is broken card drawing with easy damage bonuses

How would you decide which sites to play? This would affect deckbuilding considerably if you went into a game not knowing what sites (generally) are coming into play.

Can someone please explain to me (like explaining to a noob) why is Gondorian Captain banned? Gil-estel said because you can pull cards with Base of Mindolluin, but I don't see how is that so? I mean, you can pull fortifications, you have to add threats, you can remove those threats by discarding fortifications and not much is really done. I mean, yeah, you can leave the "good" fortifications in play and discard the "bad" ones, but that doesn't seem like banning material. I figured it's gotta be something more... as far as I can see, all the other cards in the X-List way more tougher than poor Gondorian Captain:P

Is it because you can trim all fellowship cards from your draw deck to set up a monster shadow phase? Guessing

Or ... to close out the loop ... you need a permanent card that says something like .... When you play a fortification do X

Ingold also seems to set up some possible combo - provided you have a need to wound him in fellowship phase you can have an constant supply of fortifications.

If your deck is only fortifications, you can pull out every free peoples card from your deck and have killer Shadow hands the rest of the game.

Ok, so Horn of Boromir...is it because it is too OP against swarm decks or is it because it can link with Boromir, Defender of Minas Tirith?

Thanks

Decipher stated it was because it circumvents the Rule of 9 and therefore overrides a essential part of the game

I am not understanding this statement. If Ingold is in play, you can discard as many fortifications as you want. The loop with Gondorian Captain and Base of Mindolluin is that the Base adds threats to get Forts and Gondorian Captain removes the threats.

Ok, so Horn of Boromir...is it because it is too OP against swarm decks or is it because it can link with Boromir, Defender of Minas Tirith?

Horn of Boromir was seen as to powerful for the cost and with Towers block a slew of new allies were introduced in the [Rohan] culture that could be easily kept alive. Boromir, Defender of Minas Tirith did not particularly help.

I have found Cirdan, The Shipwright to be a strange card and somewhat OP especially towards end game when 9 events or so are sitting in the discard pile. With one exertion he overwhelms almost any minion. Do you guys think that this was just a poorly thought out card like Galadriel, LR? It's not bad enough to warrant an X-list, but still...annoying (my friend bought a Mount Doom box and suddenly played Galadriel, LR, Cirdan, The Shipwright and other set 10 cards and tossed them at me this past Spring Break).

only 9 events? sheesh i have like 20 in my discard pile at the end of the game

and no i don't think he is that overpowered, the problem with galadriel, LR was the fact you could play all those specific events. curse their foul feet, stand against darkness, foul creation, etc and if you weren't playing that type of shadow just discard them to kill their conditions/possessions. plus there's no real cost, i mean discarding an [Elven] is not hard to do when your deck is loaded with them but exerting cirdan, any wounding deck should take care of him ala desert lord/hate.

Desert Lord can help with Cirdan... among many other things.
