Here comes the South 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

In my secondary gondorian deck, Faramir and a group of his Ithilien's rangers join forces with the haradrim finest.

This is mainly a support-focused deck, created as a companion for my dúnedain deck. It requires a few rounds for it to start working properly. Anyhow, it also can beat some tough quests on its own.

Heroes:

• Kahliel
  • Kahliel's Headdress
  • Steward of Gondor => Rod of the Steward
• Faramir
  • Sword of Númenor
  • Steed of the North
• Damrod
  • 2nd Sword of Númenor
  • 2nd Steed of the North

Notes:

• Mulligan for Steward of Gondor.
  • Ranger Spikes is also a good card to see.
• Emyn Arnen Ranger, Guardian of Ithilien and Southron Refugee can all be played in one round.
  • Then, Firyal or Jubayr are the first big allies we would like to see. (In the early-game, Firyal will be easier to play).
• Jubayr and Yazan will be played with Kahliel's ability.
  • Southron Refugees can reduce their 5-cost by up to 2.
  • Kahliel's Tribesmen are mainly here to boost Jubayr's .
• Every extra copy of The Big Three will be the perfect target for Kahliel's special ability.
• Ranger Spikes are going to permanently boost:
  • Faramir's .
  • Emyn Arnen Ranger's .
• Guardian of Ithilien's response synergizes with Faramir's ability, much better when the Spikes are already in play.
  • Thereafter, they will be the epitome of chump-blocking.
• Even though this is not a secrecy deck, Ithilien Lookout's response and stats make them still valuable as a 3-cost ally.
• Heed the Dream is our best option for card drawing by the early game.
  • By mid/late game, these duties will fall to the Rod of the Steward (fueled each round by the Steward of Gondor).
• Pillars of the Kings are our only chance for threat reduction.
  • By late game resources shouldn't be an issue for playing it.

Sideboard:

• Forest Snare is always a great trap to see but it goes against Faramir's ability.
