I played this deck several times at Con of the Rings 2021 in 3-player and 4-player games. I changed a few things after the first game, and this is the updated version. The deck did pretty good as a support role, and it could do some defending and help a little with ranged attacks. And of course Faramir is great for quest boost. In one game, all three copies of Steward of Gondor were in the bottom 15 cards of my deck (never drawn), and even then I was able to use other resource manipulations to still contribute.

Denethor's ability was not used as often as I thought it would be. Most often, he sent a resource via an Errand-rider. With Armor attached, he was a good defender. Keen as Lances and Gandalf are useful for threat reduction and/or card draw.

Sideboard
Man the Walls is great but depends on what other players have. If they are running a Forth, The Three Hunters! contract (no allies), it is not useful. Likewise, Bulwark of the West is only useful if the scenario has condition attachments. So I put these in the sideboard to determine during game setup if they should be included.
