	In short, Heir of Elendil provides the understated power of being Defender +1 without forcing a player into the risks and costs typically associated with that ability. This version of Aragorn offers consistency and adaptability.		In short, Heir of Elendil provides the understated power of being Defender +1 without forcing a player into the risks and costs typically associated with that ability. This version of Aragorn offers consistency and adaptability.

	As with so many other versions of Aragorn, Heir of Elendil fits well into a wide variety of deck strategies, whether included as a splash companion, or supported with strong weapons and conditions, such as {{Card\|Ranger's Sword}} or {{Card\|Last Alliance of Elves and Men}} or {{Card\|Trust Me As You Once Did}}.

	At the same time, it is worth pointing out the obvious: Heir of Elendil is of the Gondorian culture. In Towers Block, the game finally gave us a wide array of {{C\|Gondor}} companions whose names were not Boromir or Aragorn. So, the fact that this version is neither a Ranger nor a Knight can help point to the idea that he's actually quite ready to fit in either of those broader strategic builds. Did you draw a {{Card\|Sword of Gondor}} and {{Card\|War and Valor}}? No problem, Heir of Elendil will put them to good use. Need to transfer {{Card\|Citadel of the Stars}} to a minion skirmishing a {{C\|Gondor}} companion? Need a champion fighter to really get the best use out of {{Card\|Garrison of Osgiliath}}? Check and check.		At the same time, it is worth pointing out the obvious: Heir of Elendil is of the Gondorian culture.

In the Fellowship of the Ring, Aragorn drew on his skills as a ranger to help guide the quest in secrecy. Heir of Elendil represents Aragorn's first thematic departure from this role as he begins to take on his mantle as a leader of men in the defense of Rohan.

	One use for this version of Aragorn, naturally, is to shield your ring-bearer from being assigned to too many minions. Comparisons can easily be made with {{~~card~~\|Aragorn, Ranger of the North}}, who would seem to have the upper hand with his ability to defend against even more than 2 minions at a time--and the fact that he maintains the Ranger keyword.

Comparisons can easily be made with {{Card\|Aragorn, Ranger of the North}}, who would seem to have the upper hand with his ability to defend against even more than 2 minions at a time--and the fact that he maintains the Ranger keyword.

	So what is the advantage to this Aragorn's built-in Defender Bonus? Well, first of all, it doesn't come with any cost to Aragorn's vitality. This not only helps Aragorn stay in the fight (and frees up vitality for {{~~card~~\|Aragorn's Bow}}); it also means that if Aragorn should happen to be exhausted, you can still rely on his ability.

	Which leads us to another subtle benefit. Heir of Elendil is Defender +1 at all times. As a result, his ability isn't dependent on choices made during the manuever phase. And since a character who is Defender +1 is not required to take on 2 minions at every opportunity, Heir of Elendil pairs exceptionally well with {{~~card~~\|Swordarm of the White Tower}}, turning an inherently defensive ability into a source of offensive power.
