Since HoN came out I've had the idea that we'd be seeing Faramir as the new Hero from the Steward's Fear…I know many of you thought so too. Does this change something ?…And if it doesn't…who's gonna be the new Ranger…???
My first guess would be Mablung (assuming we'll have a Gondor hero)

I think it's pretty darn obvious it will be either Faramir or Halbarad. Any other choice would feel pretty… weak.
Oh, please let it be Faramir! Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please………
…. you get the idea…
“I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”
Yeah I thought of Halbarad too but since he'd have the Dunedain trait I reckoned Mablung is the only of the named "Ithilien" ,thus Gondor, rangers not yet released (or announced)…but I would really love to see Halbarad, I've been expeting more dunedain for quite a long time !
Even tho Faramir is the obvious choice I would still be a little disheartened only because I'd have to wait that much longer for him, theme wise I would have thought he'd be a lock for Drudan Forrest
It'd be very anticlimactic of them to withhold the character's name in such an obvious way, and then reveal some second-stringer… it's got to be Faramir!
on a side note; not terribly satisfied with that seeing stone player card. I mean its nice that its cheap and can be played regardless of sphere, but every sphere has a much better/safer way of drawing cards. Its usefuless is only if you dedicated your deck to controlling or scrying the encounter deck and could gurantee that 2 or ideally 3 of the cards would net you draw. Plus you still have to exhaust your hero AND that hero has to be a noble. I have a tough time imagining this will make it in many decks aside those really stretching for some thematic influence.
wish they would just show us Faramir already so i dont have anything to unnecessarily whine about anymore

Also, I'm glad they made Palantir unique, but… Palantir? Really? is that the less generic title they could come up with? It really takes away from the "uniqueness" of each Palantir. For example, the palantir of osgiliath was huge and could communicate with any of the other Palantiri. Thats a really big darn difference with the other ones, and yet they named the card as a generic object "Palantir". Pfft… It's like having the card "Dwarven Magic Ring". I know they weren't especially named but, man that's dull.
This doesn't bother me that much - I'd say the others could be named with the full names. The one that gets used by Denthor is the palantir to me.
And her beauty was all the more perfect and serene, preserved forever in that great glacier of ice.

And then I realized who you were referring to.

What "others"? Once you name something with a generic name, you already cover everything that is that object, and so there's not much point in naming them again each with their own name. It was just a bad move, in my opinion.

Now we are talking about power creep:
"Forced: as long as Texas Ranger is ready, oppononents won't be able to engage you from the staging area".
"Forced: Texas Ranger never exhausts."
Better we get Faramir:
"Forced: You are afraid of jewelry."
Seriously, if it will be Faramir (and it will be Faramir) I hope they'll use his resistance against the power of Mordor and his ability to hide to give him a very low starting threat.
Without Signature
So I see everybody's going for Faramir…which implies that after searching for him for…well…for three whole scenarios (he's mentioned in all of them)…we won't get his card and we'll have to wait for three more A.P. ?…I say that'd be harsh…As for his stats/ability I really hope he'll have high quest/low threat…Otherwise Gondor decks will still be impossible to play outside HoN…
