= Strategy =
'''Eomer, Third Marshal of Riddermark''' is one of the most powerful versions of [[Eomer]] 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, especially 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 both a capable [[tank]] and a soft counter to [[swarm]] strategies. He is often susceptible to {{Card|Grima, Wormtongue}}, as he needs to [[bear]] possessions to work well. Additionally, like any single tank, he's vulnerable to {{C|Isengard}} or {{C|Sauron}} conditions like {{Card|Weary}} or {{Card|Desperate Defense of the Ring}}.


His price reduction puts him right at the [[starting Fellowship]] sweet spot of 2. Starting him with {{Card|Eowyn, Lady of Ithilien}} is popular in [[Movie Block]], and he can work with any version of [[Eowyn]] and many versions of [[Theoden]].


{{Card|Eomer, Eored Captain}} is almost identical, except he trades the cost reduction for the [[Valiant]] keyword.
