Most versions of Aragorn sport 8 strength and 4 vitality. He's usually hard to fit into a starting [[Fellowship]], because of his high [[Twilight]] cost, but he's a hardy companion that stays on the table. In fact, he was at least tied for the highest-vitality companion in the game until [[Reflections]] introduced his ancestor, {{Card|Elendil, the Tall}}. Most versions of Aragorn emphasize his prowess in battle, like {{Card|Aragorn, Ranger of the North}}, or his ability to lead and heal his allies, with cards like {{Card|Aragorn, King in Exile}}. | Most versions of Aragorn sport 8 strength and 4 vitality.

Aragorn is especially popular in [[Fellowship Block]]. This is in part simply because of his [[body]]: there are few [[Fat|hardier]] companions in a skirmish in the first block. It's also because of {{Card|The Prancing Pony}}, which can cheaply [[download]] him early in the game even if he isn't in your starting hand or Fellowship. Even if you aren't using the Prancing Pony yourself, it's so common that it's often a good idea to include Aragorn (and maybe {{Card|Ranger's Sword}} and {{Card|Aragorn's Bow}}) just on the chance that your opponent might be using it. In later formats, you can also download Aragorn with {{Card|The Riddermark}}, <!--The Prancing Pony-->{{Card|11S256}}, or <!--East Wall of Rohan-->{{Card|15S190}} | Aragorn is especially popular in [[Fellowship Block]].

He has an interesting relationship with [[cultural enforcement]]. There are many versions of Aragorn that you can [[splash]] into any deck. For example, {{Card|Aragorn, Ranger of the North}} is a solid skirmisher that, if needed, can hold off many [[minion]]s, if only for a turn. {{Card|Aragorn, Strider}} is a very cheap inclusion in a starting Fellowship, albeit at a high long-term price. On the other hand, nearly every set-wide {{C|Gondor}} [[culture]] gimmick has an accompanying version of Aragorn. It's hard to say if being a '''[[ranger]]''' is a Gondorian gimmick that Aragorn shares, or an Aragorn gimmick he shares with the rest of the culture, and the many versions of Aragorn with the '''ranger''' keyword can use cards like {{Card|No Stranger To The Shadows}}, {{Card|Pathfinder}}, or {{Card|What Are They?}}. {{Card|Aragorn, Driven By Need}} helps {{C|Gondor}} [[wraith]] decks manage [[threat]]s. {{Card|Aragorn, Captain of Gondor}} is a [[knight]] for knight decks and helps them heal off the [[exertion]]s from using [[fortification]]s, and so on. | He has an interesting relationship with [[cultural enforcement]].
