Yet another IB build (IRL)
« on: July 31, 2010, 09:05:06 AM »
This deck is in real life. Tell me wht you think.

Frodo, Resolute Hobbit
The One Ring, The Great Ring

Faramir, Captain of Gondor (starting)
Denethor, Lord of Minas Tirith (starting)
Gondorian Prowler (starting, I don't have more than 1)
Madril, Defender of Osgiliath (starting)

Aragorn, Thorongil
Halbarad, Ranger of the North
Boromir, Proud and Noble Man

Ithilien Blade x4
Sting, Elven Long-knife
Aragorn's Bow, Ranger's Longobow
Faramir's Bow x2
Horn of Boromir, The Great Horn
Ranger's Cloak x3

Seeing-stone of Orthanc

Faramir's Company x3

What Are They? x4
Last Throw x2

Citadel of Minas Tirith x3

This is the deck. The idea is to have a fast setup, this is how it works: Pull Aragorn form the Pracing Pony, make it safely to site 3 (if you have Last Throw, even better), then toss a cloak on Denethor (crazy threat adder, makes minions roaming from the very start), grab Halbarad (cool healing for Ithilien Blade bearers), grab Boromir, who grabs an Ithilien Blade on himself. You're ready to go. Yeah, couldn't resist putting 3 copies of Faramir's Company and Horn of Boromir, it's just cool to see him crush minions  :twisted:

That's all. Tell me what you think.

You need the fourth Citadel of Minas Tirith. Its that important.

I typically run it with a Gondor ARB, but you've already got Boromir and Faramir in there, mebbe Isildur RB would work. Or stick with Frodo.

Not a fan of the Horn of Boromir, actually, I have no clue what its doing in there.

He likes to draw faramir's company early and to get rid of the extra copies, he sacrifices them with The Great Horn.

I don't think this Deck will stand many chances against decks like Rapid Reload Demoralized or Horn/ lttg etc. You really need those 8 (or 9 if you prefer Strider over Thorongil) to be able to pull as many ithilien Blades as possible with Denethor. You're one comp short, anyway.

I'd like to start with 2 prowlers, but I don't have another copy. If I did, it would be there. Thanks anyway if that's the only real fault you see there.
