I’ve heard a lot about this decktype, but never have actually played it or seen it played. Could someone give me a rundown of the idea behind this strategy, and possibly a deck list and some thoughts? GP will be awarded!

Necessary cards:

Boromir, Doomed Heir
The Saga of Elendil
Ranger’s Cloak
Narsil, Blade of the Faithful
Bow of Minas Tirith
Coat of Mail
Flaming Brand
Athelas x 4
Kingsfoil x 4
Shield of Boromir
Horn of Boromir
Boromir’s Gauntlets
Brego, Loyal Steed

Total: 6 vitality, 16 possessions

Base Strength: 10

Exert him 5 times: 96

Guarded City x 4 + Heirs of Gondor = 65 tokens = Strength + 132

TOTAL: 228!

Fistful of Skirmish Events?

Rally the Company x 4
Sentinels of Numenor x 4 (fierce Skirmish)

Strength: 260

Then run cards that make him defender + infinity....

Token cards are awesome because you can reinforce like crazy.

It seems though that the strategy could be somewhat weak, as it focuses very clearly on one general objective. How would one work protection into this deck, making it tournament ready?

Well...running Gondor companions with Heirs of Gondor and Guarded City could give huge strength boosts, but it would be likely to die against condition discarding. I honestly don’t know, I would think that this is just a PPE deck.

You could run it with Blade of Gondor, Sword of Boromir, Pippin, WoBaS and Faramir, Bearer of Quality. That would be cool. Run a bunch of Hobbits and let Boromir do the fighting.

If you’re playing Bloodlines starters for some reason, keep this in mind. Boromir rocks.

Absolutely. That was the backbone of my Killer Boromir deck. Although it has morphed into somewhat of a Ithilien Blade deck.

Yes, but most likely during the time that I was absent for a few months. Smile
