| Aragorn, King in Exile, has the simple ability to heal one wound at the start of your turn. Although that isn't flashy, it can certainly spell the difference between one of your companions withstanding your opponent's shadow side, or being lost to the goblins. The effectiveness of Aragorn's ability can be enhanced by damage reduction cards such as {{Card|Armor}} and {{Card|2R105}}, and supplemented with additional healing from cards like {{Card|Athelas}} and {{Card|Elrond, Herald to Gil-galad}}.
| |
|
| |
|
| Unfortunately, Aragorn's healing is restricted to companions with the {{Signet|Aragorn}} Aragorn Signet, which means that if you choose to use this version, you must also give careful consideration to which versions you are using of the other companions in your Fellowship. The good news is, there are plenty of strong character options with the Aragorn signet. In [[Fellowship Block]] alone, you have standouts like {{Card|Sam, Son of Hamfast}}, {{Card|Frodo, Reluctant Adventurer}} and {{Card|Arwen, Daughter of Elrond}}. Other respectable candidates include {{Card|Gandalf, The Grey Pilgrim}}, {{Card|Merry, From O'er the Brandywine}} and {{Card|Boromir, Lord of Gondor}}.
| |
|
| |
|
| In fact, King in Exile's game-text is one of the few, truly-effective uses of character signets in the game's production, and can provide the foundation for a deck which makes further use of the mechanic. {{Card|Hard Choice}}, for example, provides top-tier healing at a minimal cost (and fits right into King in Exile's strategic wheelhouse). Alternatively, some very interesting plays can be made with {{Card|These Are My People}}. Or perhaps there is some synergy to explore with {{Card|No Mere Ranger}}.

|
| Overall, this version of Aragorn provides an answer to shadow sides designed to generate lots of wounds through archery, damage bonuses, threats, regroup phases actions, etc.

|
| == Gameplay Strategy == | | = General Strategy = |
| Generally, it's important to get King in Exile out as early in the game as possible, because his healing occurs at the beginning of each turn. The later he shows up, the fewer wounds he will have the chance to heal.
| |
|
| |
|
| It is worth noting that Aragorn has the [[Ranger]] keyword, and therefore has access to a large collection of cards which spot, exert or otherwise support rangers.
| | Must be used with a fellowship of Aragorn signents. Otherwise his text is nullified. Great Aragorn. |
| | |
| | In this section, describe: |
| | |
| | * Deck design strategy. |
| | * Gameplay considerations. |
|
| |
|
| = Strengths and Weaknesses = | | = Strengths and Weaknesses = |
| Although King in Exile isn't as tempted to exert himself as his FotR counterpart, {{Card|Aragorn, Ranger of the North}}, his gametext can not be used to heal himself, so it is important to protect Aragorn as much as is reasonably possible.
| |
|
| |
|
| Finally, although healing and damage reduction can be a valuable tool for a well-built Fellowship, it can do nothing to spare Frodo from getting overwhelmed after an ill-advised double-move, or after that Fellowship has flooded the twilight pool. A Free Peoples side with powerful healing still requires the ability to remove minions from the table and/or shield its Ringbearer during the skirmish phase. Fortunately, Aragorn has access to a number of cards which can help confront the opponent's shadow side.
