Just because Boromir is cool
« on: June 20, 2010, 03:29:07 PM »
Frodo, Resolute Hobbit with The One Ring, The Great Ring

Boromir, Destined Guide (starting)
Merry, Loyal Companion (starting)
Pippin, Wearer of Black and Silver (starting)

Aragorn, Thorongil (Prancing Pony pull)

Gondorian Blade
Blade of Gondor, Sword of Boromir x2
Sting, Elven Long-knife
Brego, Loyal Steed
Bow of Minas Tirith
Horn of Boromir, The Great Horn

Faramir's Company x3

Soldier's Cache
I Will Go
Heirs of Gondor x2
Shadowplay x3
Not Bound to His Fate x4

Guarded City x3
Unheeded x3

A deck I just made after being bored and watching Boromir's last stand in the film. Put everything on Boromir, play Heirs of Gondor and have fun with Guarded City. The horn helps a lot with Faramir's Company, and Faramir's Company is awesome with healing. Sting is great to remove some of the threat Aragorn makes. A little Shadowplay combo also there to abuse the fact that I start with the 2 hobbits. Aragorn is there to help a bit with some wounds, then transfer all NBTHF to him to make him some sort of tank after Boromir pwns everyone. Let me know what you think.

They get corrupted too easily. Frodo has 12 resistance and can be defended by Boromir or Aragorn.

You think so? The opponent will not play too many minions, some of them will die to the wounds of Shadowplay, Unheeded, Thorongil and Brego. If I have Soldier's Cache in play, I make minions roaming and then kill them with WoBaS. Then comes Boromir. Afer Boromir fights, use his sword to replace the skimishes of Merry and Pippin. Alternatively, he can take two minions at once with I Will Go. Not to mention that Boromir can discard every minion he was skirmishing after winning.

Yeah....I would suggest stuff, except that it dies horribly any way you slice it. Any more than 2 minions and you're in trouble. You are throwing out lots of twilight actually, like with I Will Go, Not Bound To His Fate, etc. Uruks? Dead. Corsairs? SO DEAD. Orcs? Dead. Evil man archery? Dead. Forest Nazzies? So freakin' unbelievably dead it ain't even funny.

Corruption? With no burden removal, and the Prancing Pony adding one yourself, I'll go with dead.

My best advice for the deck is scrap it and try a different concept.

Yeah, just playtested this. It DOES die horribly. I don't know what else to do with the cool cards here though lol.

EDIT: Just built another deck with them. Hope it's better.

I really like this Boromir card, but unfortunately I dont think Boromir, DG is playable on standard. What I would do with him is to build a casual deck with Faramir as RB, Aragorn, HttWC, Pippin, SF and Merry, FtS + Gondor Bowmen, A Talent for Not Being Seen with No Stranger to the Shadows, Aragorns Bow, Faramirs Bow, Flaming Brand, Noble Leaders and a few more tales and typical choke ranger cards. I have not tried it yet, but I think it could be solid.

You forgot Trolls: freakin' unbelievably awfully incredibely amazingly flipping incredibely dead, I'd resign before bidding.

And what about Morcs? Threat wounding? I don't think there is any Deck that can't win against this one...
