= Strategy =
'''Stewards' Legacy''' is a versatile and powerful {{C|Gondor}} [[condition]]. Giving three effects for three different [[characters]] in one card is only matched by its sister condition, {{Card|Kings' Legacy}}. 

The first ability is the weakest, though it has its uses. It is most easily triggered by {{Card|Denethor, Lord of Minas Tirith}} when he [[exerts]] to [[fetch]] a {{C|Gondor}} card. However, he usually is killed off quickly at site four, and is merely a setup companion. 

The second ability is the most difficult to trigger, as there are no copies of [[Boromir]] that self-[[exert]]. However, there is synergy with {{Card|Boromir, Defender of Minas Tirith}} and his self-[[healing]] ability. 

The most powerful and easy effect to trigger (at least in [[Expanded]]) is the one involving [[Faramir]]. It serves as an easy [[counter]] to [[hate]] minions like {{Card|Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul}}, {{Card|Grima, Wormtongue}}, or {{Card|Southron Leader}}. The best version of [[Faramir]] for this task is {{Card|Faramir, Captain of Ithilien}}. 

An easy solution to the problem of getting exertions is [[followers]]. {{Card|Elendil's Army}} and {{Card|Pallando, Far-Travelling One}} are both exert givers and solid cards. {{Card|Dinendal, Mirkwood Archer}} meshes very well with the effect from exerting [[Boromir]], and makes a good combo in an archery deck. 

Stewards' Legacy also fits very well in a {{Card|Madril, Defender of Osgiliath}} and {{Card|Ithilien Blade}} deck. Ithilien Blade can easily provide triggers for all three abilities, and discard minions on top of it. In addition, Ithilien Blade is a solid splash weapon for an early-game trigger, or to take out a common threat to [[archery]] decks, {{Card|Shelob, Her Ladyship.

= Strengths and Weaknesses =
== Synergizes With... ==

* {{Card|Ithilien Blade}} is a powerful exertion giver.

* {{Card|Pallando, Far-Travelling One}} and {{Card|Elendil's Army}} give exertions and powerful abilities. 

* {{Card|Faramir, Captain of Ithilien}} can self-exert and heal another companion to boot.

== Strong Versus... ==

* [[Hate]] minions, especially those that exert, specifically {{Card|Grima, Wormtongue}} and {{Card|Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul}}. 

* Stewards' Legacy can help with high-vitality minions in an [[archery]] deck.

== Weak Versus... ==

* Condition [[Hate]], though special abilities are largely ineffectual. {{Card|Saruman's Power}} is a large threat. 
* {{Card|Hate}} can take out one of your already-exerted companions.
