Strategy
Boromir, Warden of the Tower leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, making creature tokens and turning a wide board into damage. The list holds 12 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 10 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 2.84.
Early: Use the early turns on mana. Knight of the White Orchid and the rest of the 12 ramp pieces are what let the deck cast Boromir, Warden of the Tower on curve and keep casting after it.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Cathar Commando is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Faramir, Field Commander keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Vanquish the Horde for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 2 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 2.84 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.
Win conditions: Wins by going wide and attacking, or by draining the table with token payoffs.
- Horn of Gondor - Core to the plan
- Vanquish the Horde - Board wipe
- Faramir, Field Commander - Card draw
- Thalia, Heretic Cathar - Core to the plan
- Cathar Commando - Interaction
- Flowering of the White Tree - Core to the plan
- Adeline, Resplendent Cathar - Core to the plan
- Containment Priest - Core to the plan
