Ride to Gondor!

RIDE TO GONDOR!

"Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red-day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!"

--Théoden at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, LotR V p.137

FELLOWSHIP OVERVIEW

These three mono-sphere decks are based on the theme of the Rohirrim coming to the aid of Gondor during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. Eight of the nine heroes have Mount attachments to gain bonuses from Elfhelm & Charge of the Rohirrim. Except for Gandalf, all of the heroes & allies have either the Gondor or Rohan trait, allowing them to benefit from universal effects such as Astonishing Speed, Visionary Leadership, For Gondor!, Forth Eorlingas! & Éomund. Mutual Accord lets Gondor characters benefit from Rohan modifiers, and vice versa; and Strength of Arms & Éomund can ready allies across the board to get double use out of these bonuses.

Generally, the Spirit deck "Arise, Riders of Théoden!" provides the questing power & location control, while the Tactics deck "Spear Shall Be Shaken, Shield Be Splintered!" handles combat. And, true to the Leadership sphere, "Ride Now, Ride Now!" does a little of everything and pulls it all together with Mutual Accord and Denethor's resource acceleration & smoothing. See the individual deck descriptions for more information.
