Im working on a way to get mileage out of Lore Faramir. What my deck has come down to Faramir/Damrod/TacEowyn in a general kind of trap deck. With Eowyn you even get a nice starting threat of 26. I had debated on her vs Mirlonde, but then Id have to include Song of Battle for Great Yew Bow. I dont actually own Secret Vigil, but its the only reasonable threat management in the decks spheres.

Faramir's ability to gain attack from enemies staying in staging is neat, but counter productive in most instances. Even using Ranger Spikes to mitigate threat contribution enemies staying there too long isnt a good thing. So I thought to use Ithillen Archer to push enemies back into staging after engaging, then you can attack them with a Great Yew Bow equipped Faramir. This would make use of his passive attack boost while letting you pick off enemies too. Ithillen Archer really needs a spear or two to be most effective. 2 attack isnt enough in a lot of later quest.

I included Ranger Bow and Spear for more damage. On weaker enemies, a shot or two from Ranger bow and a Gondorian Spearman can eliminate them leaving the heavier attacks to beefier Orcs and the like.

Ive beaten Journey Down the Anduin as of right now. Ill be teasting more with a small amount of free time I have coming up. Id like any and all advice on this. I don't see a lot LoFaramir decks because he needs to be built around but I found the idea and deck fun. Even knda thematic. Except for Master of the Forge.

The best to use Faramir is probably with Eowyn, Great Yew Bow and ranger bow. I'm not really sure about Damrod, since this mean you can't have access to many threat reduction (no spirit). You will also need way more willpower in a lot of quests, especially if you intent to keep enemies in the staging area. And the only really good trap is ranger spikes.

It seem to be a deck for solo. Henamarth is really good, even more in a trap deck since knowing if there is an enemy, and witch one it is can help a lot.

Threat reduction has been a problem. Keeping enemies in staging for long wasn't the aim. More to get some direct damage in and then let Faramir get the kill. Occasionally pushing them back into staging so he can snipe out with Great Yew Bow while getting his damage boost.

Will power generation is a little low too. Eowyn+Damrod+ and just a couple of Allies gives me 10+.

I would have used Fastred, but I don't own the card. He does threat reduction and moves enemies. Thats very close to a Dunhere deck, with more setup.

You could simply use Glorfindel to enjoy a small threat, a lot of willpower and elrond's counsel.
