Alas, Gondor!

Description

Alas, Gondor! Despite all the Wealth of Gondor - and there is much of it - yet there is no King in Gondor. There is only a Steward of Gondor, and to be honest he's not very good at the job. Perhaps Beregond, defending the city ceaselessly from Behind Strong Walls, would be a wiser choice. He sends his Errand-riders forth, seeking aid...

And hark! Aragorn is nearby, on a Rohan Warhorse (or two). With trusty Mablung and Legolas by his side*, he will defeat the enemies of the fair city! The Master of the Forge(s) work hard to equip our heroes, while Bofur has brought a ready supply of weapons. No-one has seen any sign of Gandalf, and yet he may still appear. Soon Brand son of Bain arrives with the Support of the Eagles, and the day is won.

(*Sorry Gimli, you've been replaced.)

Okay enough of that. NOTES: this is a fellowship built on everything up to The Treason of Saruman, and no further. Sideboards include some cards from upcoming packs. This is round 2, because I made a few minor errors (Beregond doesn't need Hands Upon the Bow, etc). Things to keep in mind:

  • Five different targets for Wealth of Gondor. At least one per player, and at least one per color. All of them have at least 2 defense, to add a Gondorian Shield to.
  • At least four different heroes should be questing and doing something else: Halbarad, Prince Imrahil, Light of Valinor, Wingfoot. Steed of the Mark can make a fifth.
  • Do you need more blocking? Brand son of Bain can Quick Strike to untap Beregond. Or do you need Aragorn to pull more enemies to him?
  • Player order is built mostly with Théodred in mind: the most likely targets for his ability are latest in play order, backing up in descending order.
  • There are a bunch of ways to draw and search cards here. Deck #4 can spread the love around, if anyone is stalled.
  • Legolas cannot Foe-hammer because it needs a hero. This re-make has only one weapon for him, and more for heroes.
