Note that, while being a [Gondor] possession, Coat of Mail can be borne by any Man, including [Rohan] or [Gandalf] Men, similar to The Two Towers [Rohan] possession Heavy Chain.<br /> <br /> Less popular than Armor, which prevents multiple wounds per skirmish phase, Coat of Mail did take on new purpose with the introduction of alternate Ring-Bearers in the Reflections expansion. With Boromir, Bearer of Council and Isildur, Bearer of Heirlooms introduced, Coat of Mail was a convenient overwhelm prevention against strategies like [Moria] Swarm, &quot;Stupid Swarm,&quot; or the &quot;Moria Navy&quot; deck designs.<br /> <br /> Boromir, Lord of Gondor has the same text as Coat of Mail, making the card redundant when played on him. That said, Coat of Mail is a popular card to play on Aragorn, ROTN; Aragorn, WTG or Aragorn, Heir of Elendil as they have innate access to the '''!defender +1''' ability.<br /> <br /> = Strengths and Weaknesses =<br /> <br /> === Strong Versus... ===<br /> <br /> * High-powered minions, such as the Balrog or the Witch-King<br /> * Powerful support to Isildur, Bearer of Heirlooms, Boromir, Bearer of Council<br /> * Playable on any Free Peoples Man - including Eomer, Third Marshal of Riddermark<br /> * Overwhelm prevention in Swarm decks<br /> <br /> === Weak Versus... ===<br /> <br /> * Possession Discard<br /> * Grima, Wormtongue<br /> * Strange-looking Men, or other [Raider] or [Men] cards that can transfer the possession</div>
