{{Card|Hrethel, Rider of Rohan}} is also something of a Third Marshal replacement, getting up to Third Marshal's 11 strength when fighting a wounded minion at the expense of healing that minion. However, his cultural enforcement means he can't be played in a starting fellowship with Third Marshal, so he can only compete with the first Elite Rider that would be played normally for deck space. | {{Card|Hrethel, Rider of Rohan}} is also something of a Third Marshal replacement, getting up to Third Marshal's 11 strength when fighting a wounded minion at the expense of healing that minion.

Elite Rider was reprinted in [[King Block]], | Even though Elite Rider was reprinted in [[King Block]], there are enough alternatives to replace him much of the time in it and [[Movie Block]]. Most notably is {{Card|Eowyn, Lady of Ithilien}}, a deck-defining powerhouse for Eomer to spot. Robbed of a place in the starting fellowship, this companion competes for deck space with not only Hrethel (who gains extra utility against [[Enduring]] minions), but also the post-Towers versions of Theoden, {{Card|Rohirrim Army}}, {{Card|Merry, Swordthain}}, and supporting characters of other cultures. Depending on the deck, he may also be supplanted by {{Card|Elfhelm}} (sometimes aided by {{Card|Grimbold}}) or {{Card|Veteran Horseman}}. Nonetheless, he remains a great choice when filling up any remaining companion slots. | ||
