This deck was designed to be part of a four player fellowship. In some ways it's the front line of the fellowship and each other deck supports it in some way or the other. Without support decks this deck will in all likelihood get trampled.

The Black Arrow is there to place on Haldir of Lórien. If the silvan deck doesn't get engaged Haldir with a Black Arrow can generally one shot an enemy engaged with this player(or any other) before they have a chance to attack.

The Elven Mail and Gondorian Shield are there for Elrohir who can help with the tanking.

The Sword of Númenor can generate resources or be used with Foe-hammer for card draw. Erestor is the other means of card draw available. It's noteworthy that when played with Eleanor's Elven Accelerator the song To the Sea, to the Sea! can be used to reduce the cost of Erestor. Sorry but those are the card draw options for Purple and Red.

Anborn here is a proxy for the upcoming dunedain noble who's a dedicated blocker. Keeping things thematic and effective seems to be a little difficult at the moment.

Everyone else in the fellowship has something to give to Aragorn. Eleanor's Elven Accelerator has the Sword that was Broken and Celebrían's Stone. The Lords of the Eldar deck has Ring of Barahir and Celeborn's Sharpshooters has Wingfoot to make it worth your while to quest with him.

The sideboard includes A Very Good Tale to get those expensive allies into play, but the high cost of the dunedain allies makes it a little slow. So it needs some playtesting. The other side quests are there to take advantage of when Aragorn has his artifacts. They're there on a case to case basis, though they don't take up a lot of space and can be fished out with a Dúnedain Message when needed.

Finally the Lords of the Eldar deck has 3 Forest Snare to multiply those dunedain engagement effects. I think when the net in the Dreamchaser cycle comes out the effectiveness of this fellowship will improve even further.
