My copy just arrived, picking up tomorrow. Now I need to build up my deck again as I've been playing TRD.
I'm still waiting to be able to order The Nin-in-Eilph... Ordered Nin-In-Eliph. 1-3 week wait for delivery
Celebrimbor's Secret Unboxing
I don't have it yet either, but I put together a silvan deck with Galadriel, Celeborn and Mirlond and ran it against Nin-in-Elph. The deck did great on the scenario and beat it 4 out of 5 times. This was a scenario giving me problems too. Galadriel's built in threat reduction and card draw really changes the game. It makes it so easy to turtle along and build up the elven force.
At first I was running 3 copies of her Ring and Mirror and then cut it to 2 copies, and the settled on 1 of each. I found that I never used her willpower with the ring, threat reduction and card draw were more important and I did not feel like taking up deck space with UC to get her to do both. The biggest thing was getting lore Icon, so I kept one copy and added 1 song of wisdom for Celeborn rather that go for multiple copies of the ring.
The Mirror is cool to have, but not really essential. It was more useful when I had a lot more unique dead card in hand. But I tightened the deck up to only having 3 copies of Oh Lorien as duplicates. All other unique cards were singles. The draw back of potentially losing a Test of Will or another key card I was sitting on was to great to warrant using it. I kept one copy, because every once in awhile it was worth the gamble, but for the most part I did not find it to be a game changer. If anything I think it had potential for more of a negative impact if my hand was already looking good, so it felt like a situational card rather than an every turn kind of thing.
Really looking forward to getting my hands on the actual cards to keep exploring them, but I don't see her attachments being as strong or as essential as an Elrond/Vilya or Gandalf and his tools. However, as a hero, I think she is pretty amazing for solo play, her ability incredible. Allies not exhausting when entering play (action advantage), card draw, and threat reduction all in one.
Another card That worked well with her was Silver Lamp. i ran 1 copy i. The deck and when attached it really helped deciding when to defend with an ally or a hero.
Not directly related to this pack, but I'll ad it here. Tighten the Belt resource acceleration card is pretty good in a tri sphere deck, since it provides the boost to all the heroes that don't spend. Worked really nice in this deck since resource use was somewhat equally spread out amongst the spheres.
Silvan is pretty cool, I just wish I could find a good way to splash some tactics cards in the deck.

A Good Harvest might be useful here. With the mirror you should be able to get it most of the times. At least you an play a few tactics cards that way.
Everybody forgot about the song existance all of the sudden?

Deck space is tight there are so many good Silvan cards. Running 2-3 Song of Battle takes away space I'm not sure it's worth it for a few cards 1 cop of Rumil and 3 copies of the archer.
As leptokurt suggested A good Harvest might be a good solution, which can be useful in a trii sphere deck anyway. Figuring out what cards to bring them in will be a challenge though.

Yeah there really are a lot of really good silvan cards and combos, I was going to proxy the latest ones... But deciding what to drop was too hard for me tonight!
Horn of Gondor could be a good card to add on this kind of sylvan deck.

I only use them when I want to pimp a sphere that I am already playing that has, well, tons of cards. When there's only a handful of extra cards that have no resource match, I don't wanna pay an extra resource to be able to play them. I guess it depends on the situation.
! ! ! ! ! SPOILERS AHEAD ! ! ! ! !
Just picked up my pack and am starting to go through the cards, but here are a couple of tidbits up front:
Difficulty Level = 6
New Keyword - Scour
"Scour is a new keyword that represents the efforts of Bellach and his minions to discover Celebrimbor's hidden forge and the heroes who seek it. The scour keyword does nothing by itself, but when the players are instructed by quest card or encounter card text to trigger a scour effect they must resolve the effect the effect that follows the scour keyword on the card. The effect that follows the scour keyword on a card is card the "scour effect"."
More to come.
oh HELL YES!! About time FFG started doing this again, if its out spoil the cards yo!
Now I don't have to wait forever till I get it while seeing people go on about it but not actually posting any of the cards.
