I have always wanted Orthanc Guard to be good. I'm not sure he even is now, but Ancestral Armor helps a lot. This is more of a proof of concept than an actual deck, however I'm interested to see how this would perform besides a ranged deck. Please make suggestions or refine into a more precise deck for me so I don't have to!

How do you feel about Wild Stallion? Boosts the willpower, and you can ready on demand for defense as needed. Cheaper than the armor too, by a long shot.

@Onidsen Wild Stallion would make a great include! I think we would probably need A Good Harvest at that point for all of our spirit cards, but I think it's probably worth an include anyway. Imagine an Orthanc Guard with Ancestral Armor and a Wild Stallion ridin' in to defend for five defense, or six with Arwen Undómiel, and defending four or more attacks by cycling The Seeing-stone. Pure jank but I like it!

Seems to me that the Steward of Orthanc is a really good pairing here - more control over when Doomed triggers - you can do it off of regular events, even. Not that there are many regular events in this deck, but it's worth looking at.

I kind of expanded on the ideas you explored here in a new deck. Thanks for putting me on to this train of thought! ringsdb.com
