So, anyone has any good idea about a good deck featuring the new Leadership Faramir hero?

Would like to read some nice ideas and combos.

thanks!

His Response is great for an Ent deck. Right now I'm using Faramir (mainly for Steward and Sneak Attack Gandalf), Beravor (with Steward attached) and Mablung with Treebeard ally. When you engage an enemy Mablung gets a resource and you get to ready an ent that entered play exhausted.

A Song of Travel on Beravor along with Will of the West will make sure you can use Gandalf up to twelve times per game (6x Sneak Attack plus 6x ordinary 5 cost Gandalf). Usually ends up being somewhere between 6-7 but that's a lot of threat reduction/direct damage.

Beravor plus eventually Gléowine will make sure the card draw is fantastic. You always go through the whole Deck during a game.

Quite fun, and really effective.

Edit: Ehm didn't do my math up there for sure...

The first thing I thought of is this: Most allies simply do not have the stats for Faramir to work well. For example, take the Westfold Outrider, great ally, well costed, 2 attack, decent ability, 0 WP. That makes him pretty much a bust where Faramir is concerned. For Faramir you want to either use him to do one of two things; 1. ready an ally with a powerful "exhaust" ability, such as Gleowine or Anborn, or 2. ready an ally with good stats for both WP and either Attack or Defense.

The problem is that latter category is slim pickings. Most allies have only good stats in one category. But there are things you can do. Faramir is Gondor, so lets go ahead and do a Gondor deck with Visionary Leadership, that will give all your Gondor allies a nice boost to WP, and while we're at it, two brothers is better than one. Second hero choice Boromir (Ld), now we've hopefully got all of our allies at +1 WP and +1 attack. Why not double down and include Aragorn, who could take the Sword that was Broken, giving another +1 WP to all allies. You could choose LD Aragorn which would let you play Strength of Arms, or Lore Aragorn which gives you a great threat reduction option. Personally I favor the second choice. Of course, your threat is starting at 34, which is quite high so.... Valor deck? Yes. Veteran of Osgiliath looks perfect in this deck. Wingfoot on Faramir, natch, perhaps a couple of copies of Ambush and Anborn if you're feeling creative. Or not, go ahead and load up on whatever Gondor allies you like, and fill in the rest of the slots.

TBH, I have been thinking about building this deck for a while. I may wait until more Valor comes out. It seems good though.

I like your idea, ive recently made a deck similar to this but instead of Faramir i used Prince (Prince, Leadership Aragorn, Boromir) the deck worked very well, i used the flavor of valar, veteran of osgiliath, strength of arms, bunch of gondor allies etc. This deck with Faramir would be good too, but I think maybe Prince is better than Faramir in this deck cause we lose faramir ally, but only way to know for sure is if we try this deck! Thanks for the aswer

Faramir paired with Tactics Aragorn and Merry is bonkers. Play some awesome allies like Legolas and Boromir or Treebeard, and you can kill everything in 1 turn. Faramir is definitely my favorite new hero since Haldir.

Is it really Faramir that's doing much though? Tactics Aragorn with Merry is the real power. Faramir is pretty much just letting you ready Legolas/Boromir/Treebeard once per round (or twice if they quested).

At cardboard of the rings they mentioned the idea for a Galadriel-Faramir-Istari deck that tries to squeeze as much actions out of them as possible. Maybe add Hero Mablung and some engagement cards to engage out of phase?

He'd be fun in a unique-allies-only deck if you don't mind a goofball deck.

I am going for all Gondor Leadership: Boromir, Faramir, Prince Imrahil. And it is working well. You Sneak Gandalf, recycle the Attack with Tome of Atanatar, or just play Gandalf from hand and ready him with Faramir. But Gondor allies work well this way, indeed Visionary Leadership and Boromir's boost are key. The biggest problem is defense, you mostly chump, though the brothers can survive an attack or two each, and Gandalf is a wall.
