Basic strategy: beast your companions, win all skirmishes, double heal w/ Gorn (nabbed w/ The Prancing Pony) and his Ring of Barahir (can get w/ Denethor if needed), then lather, rinse, and repeat.

A little big, but I paired it w/ Swarms and it seems to work nicely. Everything usually leaves my hand during both FP and Shadow. Sadly, I always get a Shadow kill, so I never fully test out the FP. Critiques? I thought of taking out some pumps to put in Guarded City and maybe another Heirs of Gondor; would that be wise? There are quite a bit of possessions, so Guarded City could overload HoG and Noble Leaders. What do you guys think?

[Anautikus]

Well, with Faramir and Denethor starting, Aragorn pulled with the Pony, the only real item that would require stacking would be Narsil, and depending on the situation, I often times play it on Gorn or even Boromir. Denethor also helps me immensely at site 3

Yeah Anautikus, what is this? Deckbuilding Dain-Style? He is the one that builds huge decks, but you should know better

I think Ring of Barahir is wildly over-rated, by the way.
-wtk

Ring of Barahir is awesome!! It is a great way to make double use out of conditions. Their own purpose and now to heal as well. Artifact so that is good, if only it had a strength/vitality bonus....sigh....

[Anautikus]

lol Dain's style reflects on me We just like putting it all in.
Grima's whatever; I can handle a little hand clog for a turn. The ring is quite awesome. I never liked Flame of the West cuz then he can't hold his bow, and I don't have the money for StwB.

Oh yea, I usually nab Shards w/ Denethor, along with either scrolls, or Noble Leaders (whatever I'm feeling at the moment). Stacking and Still Sharp do go a long way. I think I'm gonna try the Guarded City approach to Noble Leaders and Heirs of Gondor. Test it out, see how effective it is in this particular deck.

I know I'm going off topic, but, is there any way you can splash Gandalf culture here? I've tested Gondor/Gandalf decks with the Gondor part like this, but they never worked out really well, although I'd love sooo much to have a Gondor beatdown with Gandalf splash! Please, can someone tell how to splash Gandalf here?
