Strategy[edit]
Mithril-coat is an expensive artifact, which can provide a lot of benefit for your ringbearer, but which depends on the right deck-build to be worth its investment.
By removing all minion damage bonuses, and removing the strength bonuses from weapons, the Mithril-coat gives you insurance in case you have to place Frodo in the line of fire--and might even encourage you to do so in order to save the rest of your companions from that Damage +2 bruiser who's trying to wreck your day. But naturally, most Free People's sides are designed to protect Frodo first, and in such decks, Frodo won't often be provided the opportunity to lose gracefully.
It is worth noting that the ability to remove the strength bonus from a minion's weapon can not only further protect Frodo in a fight, but can even give Frodo the chance to win his skirmish--allowing the Mithril-coat to function in an offensive role.
Finally, by reducing the minion archery total, Mithril-coat plays a part in sheltering the entire fellowship. This can be a redundant ability, since your opponent might not have minion archery. But Mithril-coat is an easy card to include in a deck that has a recognized need for archery reduction, since its only requirement for being played is seeing Frodo on the table.
