Strategy[edit]
Powerful possession with an exert-to-wound ability. Direct wounding is an envied ability to target powerful minions (Such as Orthanc Champion (4R164)
), to wound minions with powerful exert-to-play abilities (Such as Úlairë Enquëa, Lieutenant of Morgul (1U231)
), or to kill low-vitality minions to prevent a swarm of minions (like 
Moria or 
Dunland). With The Sage of Elendil
, it's possible to kill minions with 4 vitality, potentially making a double move viable.
Decks that feature Aragorn's Bow often prioritize healing (such as Elrond, Herald to Gil-galad (3R13)
or Might of Númenor (3C43)
) as Aragorn could create a lot of exertions with his ability. Aragorn's Bow is also often seen in conjunction with other directed wounding (such as Legolas, Greenleaf (1R50)
; Rúmil, Elven Protector (1U57)
, or Orophin, Lorien Bowman (1U56)
) as well as in mass archery decks, but he can also be used effectively with Maneuver wounding (such as Defend It and Hope (4C115)
, Quick As May Be (4U53)
, or Terrible and Evil (7R50)
) or skirmish phase wounding (such as Éowyn, Lady of Ithilien (10R72)
or Power According to His Stature (1R308)
).
The direct wounding capability of Aragorn bearing Aragorn's Bow creates a natural synergy with Éomer, Third Marshal of Riddermark (4R267)
and similar Rohan strategies relating to wounds (such as We Left None Alive (6C97)
or Elite Rider (4C265)
). Natural synergy also exists with 
Gandalf and Strength of Spirit (1C85)
.
