Aragorn WTG + Faramir BoQ = Madness! (...or does it?)

[ephen]

Seems like Boromir, BoC wouldn't be that different, either way you are going to be adding burdens, because with just 2 companions you can't add a bunch of threats.

but with the ring of rings, wounding him twice will only add 2 burdens instead of 3.  You can give him his horn and boost his resistnce with scrolls of isildur and a cloak or horse.  And with answer to all the riddles, you can wound him twice and he will still have 3 vitality.  Throw in saga of elinidil and a ranger's cloak and viola, you have a 7 vitality boromir!

Threats are way better handled by Gondor than burdens. Dain's option to add Tom Bombadil is a nice one. I would definatelly go with Faramir....

Oh, I don't disagree about using faramir as the rb.  I just think boromir is largely under valued as an rb.  If its burden removal your worried about, use answer to all the riddles and stack some healing events.  Gondor has some awesome healing cards.
