I don´t like these "must include in every deck" cards. It should have some kind of restriction example: "Play only if each hero you control has a printed leadership resource icon." Or it would have text like: Action: Exhaust Steward of Gondor to add 1 resource attached hero´s resource pool (2 resources instead if attached hero has a Steward trait). After that Steward of Gondor would still be really good card but not necessary card.
This card needs a nerf. Restricted or Faction only or require ONLY Leadership Heroes in your build would fix this card.
This card is unbelievably powerful and needs an errata. It cost 2 resources and grants 2 resources therefore you are playing it for free. Make it trait restricted or at least make it only 1 resource per exhaust.
Honestly, since the game isn't competitive - I would suggest you just house-rule it how you would like it to be.
Sure its an auto-include but it really isn't broken
I haven't really seen this card win a game on its own. When it's also tied to the least loved sphere, I doubt they would limit its best card.
Hi guys I have a question, maybe a silly one. In a two handed game is it possible to attach SoG to the other player hero? Thanks.
Absolutely. You are essentially playing a 2 player game, so the standard rules still apply. Remember it is unique, so the players as a group can only have 1 in play at a time.
I'm an idiot. When I read "exhaust Steward of Gondor", I thought it meant "Exhaust the hero bearing the title of Steward of Gondor". The card seemed kinda mediocre to me - only after I saw the comments above I realised I was wrong
Attach to a hero.
Hero becomes Gondor.
Attach Blood of Numenor.
Defence = over 9000
Until you get the shadow effect that says the defender doesn't count their defense.
Steward of Gondor has become a short-hand for very powerful, almost silly powerful, in LotR LCG. It's nice to have such a strong player card, but it certainly has warped the game and design, in that it remains the standard for resource generation. A 5/5
