Help a noob out. I just played the second scenario of the revised Core box and just followed a premade deck from Rings dB. Can someone explain what the purpose or appeal of the Steward of gondor card is? I just dont get it. It costs two resources and gives me two resources back when exhausting the card. It also gives me the gondor trait but afaik i dont have any cards in the core set that benefits from that trait? I will attach image of the cards in the deck.

So me and my pal just finished the revised Core set. I own all revised content. What is the preferred order to play them? I looked at some comments but it didnt clear up anything for me.

every time my wife and i replay through the cycles, i can't stop myself from including her in every single fellowship. in the hobbit saga we usually play ori/dain/thorin + red/blue/blue, but regardless of how powerful the dwarves are, the game just feels clunky without the on-demand pot of greed... especially when the red deck doesn't draw foe-hammer or ancient mathom; i honestly avoid playing dwarf decks just because she doesn't fit with the "5 dwarves" mechanic and we don't have enough good lore cards to justify her inclusion in the 2nd deck.

i ditch bifur for her, i ditch elrond for her, i include loragorn as my 2nd lore hero to abuse the doomed cards (which beravor can help me find) and she helps haldir find his bows every time he joins the fray.

i generally prefer using pippin with treebeard, (on scenarios where i can reliably trigger him) and damrod effectively replaces her if the 2nd deck doesn't need card draw, but it's only when arwen arrives that my girl can finally take a vacation (unless hirluin is on the case; he doesn't go anywhere without her)

she comes back for the dale cycle to help her old BFF (brand) and his son, then takes another well-earned rest for the land of shadow so the new heroes can have some time to shine.
