Even though I think this artwork is phenomenal (depicting a side of Aragorn we haven't seen in official content!), I can't help but saying it looks a little bit like Encanto's infamous Bruno.

This is a high-cost/high-reward deck focused on readying beefy allies with Aragorn's Title attachment to get even beefier action advantage. It's a lot of fun (and quite capable too), so give it a try!

Here's some piloting advice:

Choose The Renewer as Aragorn's starting attachment.

Mulligan for Andúril (without which you can't get Steward of Gondor!), Steward itself, and either Estel or Chieftain of the North. Gondorian Shield and one of the attacking allies (Legolas, Vigilant Dúnadan, or Grey Companion) are also quite nice to get early on.

For your order of operations, make sure to get Chieftain of the North or Estel out first (giving Aragorn 4 traits), then Andúril (giving you ), and finally Steward of Gondor (granting health, WEALTH, and wisdom).

Though there's not much inherent card draw here, Estel can be used quite reliably to search the top of your deck for the nearest goodies (and discard useless duplicates!)

Unexpected Courage and Gondorian Shield both go first on Beregond, and then Aragorn. Obviously, all the Titles, Steward of Gondor, Andúril, and Steed of the North go to Aragorn.

Always exhaust Aragorn to get Elendilmir and put it on him. This lets him ready his Titles twice per round, which is really nice.

A fun trick is to quest with Faramir, ready him with The Renewer, then exhaust him for his ability (which essentially grants you an extra 3 , besides your normal Faramir boost).

Overall, this deck is very balanced between , , , card draw, and resource generation. It's a blast to play, so...

Good luck and have fun! (and maybe just sing "We Don't Talk About Bruno" for a minute too)

Happy Questing!

You can't have The Renewer in your deck because Aragorn searches your collection. I would also add A Good Harvest. I think you would be better off using Seasoned Forager over Steward of Gondor.

Getting a like for the deck name alone!

@LEGOlas Ah, yes, I forgot about that. Not a big change...I'd just stick in another Deep Knowledge and have The Renewer in the sideboard. A Good Harvest is also a good bet. Why would Seasoned Forager be better though? I guess you wouldn't have to get Andúril first, but Steward of Gondor gives you more bang for your buck...

@Birdman137 Thanks!

Steward of Gondor is very hard to get. You need another trait before you can equip Andúril. That is a three-card combo. Seasoned Forager can be played on the first turn, and will give you more resources overall, until you hit late game. By then, you no longer need the extra resources.

@LEGOlas That's true, I was struggling to get the 3-card combo running sometimes. The Forager's probably a good bet.

Also, what do you think of Ranger of Cardolan instead of Vigilant Dúnadan? Either swap him out or add Gather Information.

Dec 04, 2022 Turgon 557

@LEGOlas I was actually using Vigilant Dúnadan for attack, but the Ranger's probably more efficient.

Then use the Marksman of Lórien instead. They are cheaper and can be targeted by Chieftain of the North.

Dec 04, 2022 Turgon 557

That's actually a really good idea. I'm not sure why I didn't think of that.

Gosh. I personally hate Neutragorn's art, but it does look a bit like Bruno hahaha.
