With the fantastic new Denethor hero comes a million new deck possibilities. Many of them will probably be top tier. But for my fist deck with him I wanted to take a thematic approach. Full Gondor theme: Denethor is in command at Minas Tirith and he's addicted to using his Palantir every chance he gets!

By going with Leadership and Spirit you can afford to pay for a lot of threat reduction, which is a necessity if you are going to be staring into the seeing stone for days on end. It also allows for the very humorous Palantir/Minas Tirith Lampwright combo!

Even despite sticking as much as possible to theme it ends out quite powerful, even if it doesn't look that way. Being able to know the next three cards is incredibly underrated.

Nice... And hurray for Palantir, I love that card. I needs a LOT of threat reduction though (or I just guess horribly). This deck reminds me that it is time to update my Doom of Gondor deck. It has been needing this Denethor.

It's got a poor reputation. I've never seen it on the table in multiplayer, and it's in few decks on Ringsdb. As I recall, people said that their complaint with the card was that it did not allow you to manipulate the cards you've seen, so who cares if you've seen them?

Palantir is one of my favorite cards ever, but it is legitimately a difficult card to make work consistently. Even the noble restriction turns out to be a major roadblock. It is great to see potential with the new Denethor. I hope it is a trend.

Being able to know the next three cards is incredibly underrated.

When and where was it rated? I come here a bit and can't remember seeing a discussion on how valuable being able to see the next three cards is. Maybe it was another site? Please link me.

Not sure if sarcastic, but I didn't base that statement on some discussion or thread. It was just based on how little I see it used in decks.
