Reviews

With her slender body, eyes to drown in and shapes to dream away, she introduces you to the feminine beauty that you have never been able to match. Her slender round ass makes you melt, and her soft, perfect breasts, combined with her tight body, are a paradise in itself. She wants you to discover the art of bringing an erotic massage with this body ...

Heat pumps to produce energy-efficient heat. When we think of a heat pump , it is still synonymous with heating on cold winter days. Rightly so. Wasn't a heat pump designed for heating? Today this is no longer the case. Or rather: not just heating.  <a href="https://warmtepompen-centrale.be/">Warmtepompen</a> — Digital_Zone 19
So popular to even draw in the spambots :D — Alonewolf87 2817
Sadly, I think this is the best review this card currently has. — NoSoup4you 892

Even with his errata Boromir still stands well in his spot. The steadfast hero goes great with a Gondorian Shield and has access to a multitude of great weapons and armour to make this Captain of Gondor a cut above the rest.

The designers have done a fantastic job of capturing the theme of this character standing fast in his Fellowship form. Great card.

Boromir is OP. Period. Even without the Blood/Fire/Steward shenanigans he's incredible. With the amount of threat reduction available at this point in the game's life, you could build a deck entirely devoted to threat reduction to keep that Boromir player up and running. There's also the deck idea of setting up the other players to do their thing and then die before revealing encounter cards. Boromir fits right in to it. Honestly, there is no limit to the power of Boromir (and I don't want him errata'd!).

So what Sarseth? I'm currently waiting for FFG to issue me a replacement card. If it's not on my card, I play according to what's written on it. — pd187540 50
Sarseth is not responsible for your card errata. They are only keeping us updated as a community on new rulings, which is incredibly helpful in comparison to your contribution here. Play the game how you wish, no one is forcing you to scribble out the text on your old Boromir card. — Zukin 178

Should read: “Raise your threat by 1 to ready Boromir. (Limit once per phase.)”

I think he is still great with his new limitations. He can defend attacks during the quest phase, and with only a few readying cards, you get one extra readying effect. — Lecitadin 211
Errata in a co-op game is the most laughable idea I’ve ever heard of. — Boris_the_Dwarf 10

I honestly don't care if this card got errata'd. My original card doesn't have "(limit once per phase)," so unless FFG gives me a free replacement Boromir card, whatever's written on the card stands.

Not seeing how this qualifies as a review... — TheNameWasTaken 9
Seems you're really upset at the Errata. At the end of the day, you can choose to play the game however you intend to, with or without the errata Boromir is a great hero. If you're not intending to play him at any official store events like the Wizards quest, in a competitive sense, there isn't much of a problem. However I can understand that you need to voice your frustration on the matter, we can't really do anything here as a community to help you. Redirect your anger at FFG through the right means of contact on their website, not on a community card database, I can vouch that the LOTR LCG team is very active on customer questions and concerns. — Zukin 178
Agreed. It’s a co-op game. I’ll be playing the cards as written. — Boris_the_Dwarf 10

Having been one of the very best heroes for a long time, his very understandable errata slowed Boromir down considerably. That being said though, he remains great, even if not game-breaking. A very easily triggered, built-in ready coupled with great combat stats is not something that should be underestimated, especially since Boromir's stats are conveniently easy to boost, with cards like Gondorian Shield, Captain of Gondor, Warrior Sword, Shining Shield, Valiant Sword or Raiment of War being just a few of the amazing options out there.

And even outside of the combat phase, his ready has a lot of uses. My favorite one is probably Peace, and Thought, but there are also for example Palantir (a very underestimated card), Captain's Wisdom, Hail of Stones and a host of encounter cards requiring an exhaust. Even his willpower can be used if needed, especially after flipping Forth, The Three Hunters! with him as one of your heroes (making him one of my very favorite heroes to play with the contract).

His second ability is something I rarely if ever use, but all in all, Boromir, while not being broken anymore, is still extremely consistent from the get-go through his versatility, providing a considerable output and having many good attachments available. I still like him a lot!
