Hey, Imrahil is a great card too!  I haven't seen him lately in any knight decks

Melilot Brandybuck is a pretty underated card. Played with Frodo, OBH, it is as good as Sam, SOH.

Veteran Horseman and Elfhelm. Well, I guess they are not that underrated, but I like them. Made 2 fun decks around them. Having 9 mounted comps (4 of which are Veteran Horseman) is quite fun or having Elfhelm with Strong Arms and Thundering Host. As far as I've seen on GCCG, I'm the only one to use them and indeed, it's not easy to make a competitive deck with them (although my Veteran Horseman deck is quite good) but it's fun to play them. I love the imagined look on my opponent's face when I get my Veteran Horseman to amazing strengths. I've just realized that they could make a very good deck in Standard format (with Haleth and Theoden, Ednew).  ;D

Elrond, Keeper of Vilya

I've seen only jmccarthy and myself play him and while Elrond, Herald to Gil Galad is by far a better choice as a splash healer/condition remover (with Vilya), Elrond, KoV is much better in "elf only" decks. Saved me many times.

New Errand can be used if you have Isildur or Boromir as your alternate RB and can be nice even if you don't care about Site Numbers.

That's great!--burden removal that fits with any deck that needs it dearly (Rohan comes to mind) without taking up a companion spot like Sam, SoH!
My Elfhelm and Grimbold Marshals of Rohan deck while fun to play (as mentioned by hrcho) just lost (barely) to an all out burden deck---here's my fix!

The good news about that is that using Frodo, OBH allows you to add other allies if you want.

Banner of Westernesse - I favor this in knight decks over strength-boosting hand weapons. Usually minions are killed by vitality reducers and wounding, or Fifth Level does the job. That leaves the Banner to heal and prepare the knights for the next batch of minions.

Mithril Shaft (+ Ring of Guile) - There's a joke that pulling this card in a pack means you've been shafted... but it's something of a pet card. If you can accept your deck disappearing before your eyes (not as bad as Ever My Heart Rises though), the Shaft can get whatever's needed to set up combos and the like. Link it to Ring of Guile for extra mileage.

Southron Archer Legion - At first he seemed like an overpriced minion, but now I like to splash him in my Moria archery decks. When cards in hand are spent as resources (They Are Coming), it's pretty good when just one card can net 5 points of archery--and with [Moria] the twilight isn't as big a deal. Not to mention he's a 4-vitality sink, and if he reaches a skirmish, 13 strength might squeeze in another wound.

Incidentally, I've heard that knight decks shouldn't use City Wall... anyone know the reason for this? (Personally I can never find room for it, and I like Fifth Level more, but maybe there's something else.)

Aye, a great card, I go with it in my Ranger wounding deck along with Citadel of Minas Tirith. In knight and ranger wounding decks, skirmishes are rarely lost and healing is massive.

One other card I use in my deck: Ithilien Trap - not as good as Merry's Sword, but saved my #$&*@! more then once.

Base of Mindolluin is a pretty underated card. It is a very good site 3 to use if you have any Gondor or 2 Rohan companions in your deck. Garrison of Osgiliath, Arrow-slits, City Wall, Citadel of the Stars... I usually like to put 3 fortification in my deck allong-side Base of Mindolluin in case I draw one before site #3. This site isn't only for Knights.

I wish Citadel of Minas Tirith was a fortification...
