Boromir, Steward's Heir (0P65) is a Gondor Companion from the Promotional set. It was distributed as a prize for players who participated in digital leagues for the Lord of the Rings Online TCG in January 2005.[1] The card is itself a cut-down version of the much more elaborate Customizable League Card used in the online client, representing a version of the card with 3 points invested into its customization (out of 30). Due to the relatively low popularity of signups for those leagues, the card remains one of the rarest in the game; its high price is purely due to that rarity, as the gameplay appeal is rock bottom.

Strategy[edit]
While at first glance it seems exciting to have a version of Boromir that can be involved with Knights, Rangers, or Ring-bound Men, the simple fact of the matter is that one seldom builds decks that need all three at once. If you need a Knight, use Boromir, Hero of Osgiliath (11R57) , if you need a Ranger use Boromir, Lord of Gondor (1R96) or Boromir, Defender of Minas Tirith (3P122) , and if you need him to be Ring-bound, run Boromir, Bearer of Council (9R+31) as your Ring-bearer.
