Obviously "B-tier" will be a super subjective call. It'll mean different things to different people (stats, or ability, or overall usefulness), just follow your heart.

-------------------------

My answers:

Weapon attachment: let's be honest... Dagger of Westernesse

Card draw engine (repeatable card draw): Expert Treasure Hunter!

Encounter scry or manipulation: Palantir (which also doubles as a card draw engine!)

Eagle: Winged Guardian
Istari: OHaUH Gandalf

"B-tier" Hero: Balin, hands-down. Passable stats but not great, but access to a very nice Trait and a superhero ability.

Weapon Attachment: Rivendell Blade

Card Draw Engine: I don't use repeatable card draw =(

Encounter Scry or Manipulation: Dunedain Hunter and Henamarth Riversong

Eagle: Eagles of the Misty Mountains

Istari: Core Set Gandalf

B-Tier Hero: Unless Elladan/Elrohir are counted no one haha, but seriously I love Elrond's Sons. Easily my favorite heroes hands down. The other various heroes I use are all pretty powerful so I wouldn't call them B-Tier

Weapon attachment: none, perhaps Blade of Gondolin. Great on Merry/Brand combo's.

Card draw Engine: peace and thoughts

Encounter scry/manipulation: Risk some Light, Gildor's counsel.

Eagle: Descendant of Thorondor, even better with Gwaihir.

Istari: none, but I like to see Radagast in play.

B-tier Hero: Pippin (Lo) - low threat, low stats but perfect in secrecy decks (Risk some Light, Resourceful), good meal, fast hitch, peace and thoughts, all player text and might give some draw as well. I like that hobbit!!

Weapon attachment: Spear of the Mark. Because I dreamt long for some kind of effective weapon for Dunhere.

Card draw engine: Daeron's Runes? Most cost effective stuff.

Encounter scry or manipulation: Henarmath Riversong. Extremely cheap and extremely effective. The only downside is only 1 copy of him in the core set.

Eagle: Vassal of the Windlord. Helps deal wtih big bad guys real fast, in multiplayer too.

Istari: Saruman. Because sometimes you can fulfill quest's objective by just playing him.

"B-tier" Hero: Grima. While not fit (or not that fit) for multiplayer, he makes an excellent hero for solo. While being my only lore hero in most multiplayer decks, I hever have any problems with playing lore cards due to his ability. And if I need a resource in my main sphere - he can help there too.

**** didn't even think of Gildors Counsel, love that card!

Weapon attachment: Dwarrowdelf Axe but maybe rsther Dagger of Westernesse.

Card draw engine: Legacy of Durin.

Encounter scry or manipulation: Gildors Counsil

eagle: Eagles from the Misty Mountains, can become a real power (also in combo with Suppport of the Eagles)

Istari: Good old Gandalf! But then rather Hero version!

"B-tier Hero": Dwalin. Only own till KD, so he's a real killer and threathred.

Weapon attachment: Dagger of Wesernesse is really cool and goes with all traits.

Card draw engine (repeatable card draw): Legacy of Durin and Ori in the same deck is pretty bonkers. I also really like Erestor as a leadership choice.

Encounter scry or manipulation: Ithilien Lookout is extremely satisfying to use in secrecy.

Eagle: Based Vasal of the Windlord.

Istari: Hobbit Gandalf is my favorite in my Caldara decks.

"B-tier" Hero: Hmmm. I guess Beorn hero is a my underused "cult favorite".

-rivendell blade... oh, nice sword, and that ability... lets me win haha

-ancient mathom, really effective with location power cards

-palantir, though i dont use it much yet, i just love the idea

-not technically an eagle but to the eyrie ... that art is amazing, and i think of it as an 'eagle' card anyways

-saruman, though i really should say gandalf i know... i just... am in insengard mode at the moment

-fatty... everything about him represents what i love about this game, despite him not being so useful

Weapon: Dagger of Westernesse

Card Draw Engine: Expert Treasure-hunter

Encounter Scry/Manipulation: Gildor's Counsel

Eagle: Landroval. Really captures the classic role of the Eagles.

Istari: OHaUH Gandalf

B-tier Hero: I'm guessing Beorn counts as B-tier, given how some feel about him, so definitely Beorn. He can be so pivotal.

Weapon attachment: Rivendell Blade (because Legolas is my favorite Tactics hero)

Card draw engine (repeatable card draw): Hobbit Pipe (Can't wait to get Bilbo ally and hopefully another pipe attachment!)

Encounter scry or manipulation: Risk Some Light (I would love it to be Palantir, but I've never made it work)

Eagle: Definitely use Vassal of the Windlord the most, but otherwise Eagles of the Misty Mountains

Istari: OHaUH Gandalf. I usually run low threat decks, so the threat gain isn't a big issue and his massive stats with free questing are ridiculous. Also, I'm sick of the Core Gandalf / Sneak Attack combo.

"B-tier" Hero: Mirlonde. Great for secrecy when combined with Pippin, and she can even make some use of Asfaloth.

Weapon attachment: Dagger of Westernesse, an all around good weapon.

Card draw engine: King Under the Mountain, a powerful card draw engine and it doesn't say "draw".

Encounter scry or manipulation: Henarmath Riversong, a very cheap ally with decent stats and a decent scying ability.

Eagle: Vassal of the Windlord, a very cheap champ and +3 attack boost.

"B-tier" Hero: IF ! Balin is considered a "B-tier" Hero is him.

Weapon - rivendale blade

Card draw - none

Encounter - risk some light

Eagle - vassal

Ishatri - core gandalf and sneak attack is still staple

B tier - I love using beorn as well

Weapon: rivendell blade - we play elves a lot. Simple & effective card.

Rep. card draw: Gleowine - I can let others draw too. Not that many cards let you do that.

Encounter manip: Out of the wild - you can just fish out some of the most terrible cards for good? Yes please!

Eagle: Vassal - we call them heat seeking missiles. Missiles go boom! I like.

Istari: Hero version Gandalf! - no contest.

B Hero: Spirit Glorfindel - he should get more table time everywhere. 0.o

B Hero: Spirit Glorfindel - he should get more table time everywhere. 0.o

I'm not sure how you define a "B-tier" hero, but Spirit Glorfindel is one of the strongest heroes in the game.

Weapon - ranger bow

Card draw - deep knowledge

Scrying - risk some light

Eagle - vassal

Ishatri - core gandalf

B tier - celeborn

B Hero: Spirit Glorfindel - he should get more table time everywhere. 0.o

I'm not sure how you define a "B-tier" hero, but Spirit Glorfindel is one of the strongest heroes in the game.

I was only joking. The guy is like a persistent fungus.

My vote probably would go to Eleanor, if she is a B hero; as she's very popular at our table.

I know some people dislike spirit Glorfindel - and I would too, if I saw him in every deck. I justify playing him because I've always played Noldor in general. I care a lot about theme; I know many just put him in any deck when they want a low-cost stable hero with Spirit access. I would never put Glorfindel with Gondor heroes, just as I wouldn't put Gloin or Bard in a Rohan deck.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't answer the original question-

Weapon attachment: Rivendell Blade

Card draw engine (repeatable card draw): Daeron's Runes

Encounter scry or manipulation: Henamarth

Eagle: probably Winged Guardian, but I rarely play Tactics

Istari: core Gandalf.

"B-tier" Hero: not sure who counts as B-tier... I think I mostly use "good" heroes.

Weapon attachment: dagger of westernesse

Card draw engine (repeatable card draw): Master of the Forge

Encounter scry or manipulation: palantir. If people would like I could do a writeup of a palantir deck i use that's pretty effective.

Eagle: Vassal of the Windlord
Istari: Core Gandalf, UHaOH Gandalf in leadership (untap ally for quest, block and attack)

"B-tier" Hero: Eleanor, as you an guess

Weapon attachment: Dagger of Westernesse. No restrictions on its use, and it's very strong against a lot of boss enemies.

Card draw engine (repeatable card draw): Beravor

Encounter scry or manipulation: Risk Some Light. Free in a secrecy deck really helps.

Eagle: Eagles of the Misty Mountains. Cheating them in for free gives you an awesome ally.

Istari: Core set Gandalf. He's just brutally good, still.

"B-tier" Hero: Bilbo. He's probably a little bit overcosted, but he's such reliable card draw for solo games. And he's a great Blade of Gondolin holder to go with Eomer in my recent Eomer combo deck.
