Why that? I mean, the discarding happens before the exerting, and one condition less doesn't hurt so much at all...

Not necessarily. Let them exert until exhausted and then discard for the kill.

It is even better with maneuver exhaustion.

OOps, seems as I read the card wrong..

Anyway, I also like Company of Archers most as an Elven condition discarding event, but the best one still is Galadriel, recycling garbage and discarding everything!

(Btw, did I mention how I love giving other names to cards? ;))

So if you play against elven and you weren't able to see opponent's hand then you won't exhaust :)

Why was Horn of Boromir banned?
Do not take dragons lightly.  They are heavier than you think.

Horn of Boromir was seen as a way of circumventing the Rule of 9 and a way to control the twilight pool...not adding enough pool for companions when you have a ton of allies to "take one for the team" was too frustrating for Shadow players and made for boring games.

 That makes complete sense.  The Horn would "call" up what were essentially companions even if you already had 9 companions in play.

That one never clicked before.  Thanks.

But that is what the Horn of Boromir was MEANT to do! It's a good strategy, but requires LOTS of card slots to be viable and isn't really splashable.

You are right, Kralik.  That's why I never knew why it would be banned.  It seems like a perfectly viable card to me. 

Just look at what the Horn of Boromir was meant to do in the books.  It's one of those cards that I love because the text actually fits with the title AND the story itself.

Maybe cus' you could make Tom Bombadil a 17 strength comp? That seems kinda weird to me...

True. Which is a pity, really, because there aren't any other allies even remotely close to Tom Bom in strength. However, I believe it was banned before his time. In any case, by Movie block there are LOTS of ways to directly hurt companions outside of the skirmish phase. A constantly exerting Boromir is asking for trouble.

Not with wound prevention, twilight denial, and another strong ally: Treebeard. Allthough especially the combination of Aragorn pool remover, and Galadriel going Dutch it was harsh. Please, someone, make me a movie Horn deck and play it once as a surprise deck against me :D I am curious.

Forgot Beardy. Now that makes sense. :P

But note that No Stranger to the Shadows, Aragorn HttWC and Galadriel are X-ed as well. Horn of Boromir without those isn't quite as powerful. Still, it finds its place in the almighty Fellowship block. :mrgreen:
