The funny thing is there would be an easy, and thematic, way to fix the Denethor's ally problem. Just add "When Denethor enters play, search your deck for 1 Gondor card and add it to your hand." This could of course bring your Steward of Gondor, for instance. Or even better perhaps "After you play Denethor from your hand, search your deck for 1 title card and add it to your hand." Which could bring either Steward of Gondor or Lord of Morthond. This addition would make the card intriguing for me, and an obvious inclusion (perhaps even more than a single copy), and would stop me from ranting about the card.

Cool idea! Shame designers, poor useless Denethor. But art is cool anyway!

Just got 1st season NM packs, outlands solo was able to handle PTM and JDtA.

I cant imagine any other solo deck being able to win JDtA. Have you been successful with any others?

I've just beated NM JTtA with solo spirit/tactics deck, from my 4th or 5th try(I don't remember exactly). I did it in OCTGN, because I can't afford this card pool irl, I respected 1 core set card pool restriction when I built it though. Still, my win seemed very lucky - no Marshland Outlaws, no returning slain troll back with uncancellable treachery, etc. Had plenty of those in my first 4 runs.

This is a nice idea. He'd be too good for 4 cost though.

I think that is a great suggestion.

With only unrevealed 2 leadership cards left in this cycle it would be nicely fitting to still see an ally with that effect.

I kind of secretly have been hoping we'd see a Bergil ally (although id be suprised as his stats and sphere placement would be kind of tricky as he is only a child) but that would actually be a nice ability for him

Imagine if Deneothor had some resource-generating ability... he's Steward of Gondor, after all.

Action: Exhaust Denethor to give add 1 resource to resource pools of up to 2 different heroes.

i feel with events such as ever vigilant, strength of arms, and common cause, this could be rather too poweful. if it was limited then its a good idea

How about if simply he generated a resource each round?

common cause only works on heroes right? unless it was errata'd awhile ago and i never realized it. Not that it matters much for me personally because i have not once included it in my decks, havent found that niche use for it

oh yeah probably. i was going from memory there so probably got that one wrong
