I've been looking to add a couple more cards to each guild based on feedback from my drafters, and I was considering this card in the context of monarch/initiative. If there's a battle over either status, Faramir will generate three 1/1 tokens to swing back and secure it. He also triggers if they attack, not if they deal combat damage to you, so he can also help you secure monarch/initiative by giving you three speedbumps on future turns. If you're in a position where they aren't attacking you, then you're drawing an extra card each turn cycle instead.
It's a feel-bad do much if it's removed immediately, but if your opponent doesn't remove him before your end step, you will still either draw a card or make 3 tokens if they remove him on their own turn, so in many cases, he'll either replace himself or be a multicolored Captain's Call that drew a removal spell.
He's definitely not fighting for top-tier, but I'd be looking to add him into a very large guild section (Signet, Talisman, and 7 other cards).
