This Eomer is one of the most powerful versions of him ever released, with an almost guaranteed 9 strength with {{Card|Rider's Mount}} or his own steed, {{Card|Firefoot}}. Add {{Card|Eomer's Spear}} to the pile and he is a very fearsome fighter indeed. He goes well in most {{C|Rohan}} decks, especiall those that include {{Card|Merry's Sword}} and/or {{Card|Eowyn, Lady of Ithilien}}. In addition, with {{Card|Firefoot}}'s defender bonus, he can be a two-card splash in a [[direct wounding]] deck like [[Rainbow Wounding]] as anti-swarm. He is often suceptible to {{Card|Grima, Wormtongue}}, as he needs to bear possessions to work well, and with {{C|Isengard}} or {{C|Sauron}}'s ability to place conditions on him, Grima can be a real threat. | |||
