Strategy

A useless curiosity, and one of the worst cards in the game. This can shut off the game text of Denethor, Steward of the City (7R85) or Denethor, On the Edge of Madness (18R42) , but there's no reason to play those two companions in the first place. On any other companion -- especially other versions of Denethor! -- this is strictly worse than generic Gondor hand weapons like Sword of Gondor (4C134) , Knight's Spear (7C108) , Gondorian Sword (7U98) , Gondorian Blade (11U59) , or Ithilien Blade (15C62) .
