Ranger of Westernesse is {{Card|Pathfinder}} with a [[body]]. He can [[Site Manipulation|set the site path]] for you, then serve as fodder for {{Card|Saved From The Fire}}, {{Card|Ithilien Blade}}, or simply [[Chump Blocking|chump blocking]]. There are other non-[[unique]] {{C|Gondor}} [[ranger]] [[companion]]s but, except for the rarely-useful {{Card|Ranger of Osgiliath}} and the more-expensive {{Card|Dunedain of the South}}, all of them focus on [[interact]]ing with [[roaming]] [[minion]]s or {{CultureIcon|Gondor}} [[culture token]]s. Ithilien Blade decks rarely need any more help with roaming minions, and {{C|Gondor}} token decks like [[Token Tanks]] generally focus on more-potent unique companions. | |||
Ranger of | Ranger of Osgiliath is more useful in [[Standard]], where {{Card|Pathfinder}} and similar cards like {{Card|Get On And Get Away}} aren't playable, rather than [[Expanded]]. While his cost makes the comparison to Pathfinder unfavorable, he's more attractive when compared to the relatively higher-priced cards in Standard like {{Card|Well-Traveled}}. Even in Expanded, though, some decks also use him as a fifth (or more!) copy of Pathfinder if site manipulation is very important to the deck's strategy. | ||
While he is generally not played in the [[starting Fellowship]] in favor of stronger or cheaper alternatives, his ability sets [[site]] 2 when you do start with him. | While he is generally not played in the [[starting Fellowship]] in favor of stronger or cheaper alternatives, his ability sets [[site]] 2 when you do start with him. | ||
