An marginal card, negligible in most formats. {{Card|Denethor, Lord of Minas Tirith}}, from the same block, has 8 strength for only 2 twilight. To exceed that, you'd need to spot four other Men; that's a lot of work for only 1 more strength, and there are many other, better, dedicated {{C|Gondor}} skirmishers. Plus, Lord of Minas Tirith's ability to search your deck is much stronger than +1 strength | An marginal card, negligible in most formats. {{Card|Denethor, Lord of Minas Tirith}}, from the same block, has 8 strength for only 2 twilight.

In a format that includes [[Return of the King]] but not any of the other sets in that block, Wizened Steward may be marginally useful as a disposable tank that usually has about 6-7 base strength and benefits from both {{Card|Noble Leaders}} and {{Card|Aragorn, King in Exile}}. That's situationally useful, as this compares favorably to both 2 cost, 6 strength companions like {{Card|Derufin}}, and 3 cost, 7 strength companions like most versions of Boromir and Faramir. Alternately, you could use {{Card|Denethor, Steward of the City}}, which is 8 strength all the time, but that comes at the cost of generating extra burdens and threats. | In a format that includes [[Return of the King]] but not any of the other sets in that block, Wizened Steward may be marginally useful as a disposable tank that usually has about 6-7 base strength and benefits from both {{Card|Noble Leaders}} and {{Card|Aragorn, King in Exile}}.
