I am sure all of you have identified the synergies here

I tested on foundation of stone, passing it easy (but that is normal). By the way, is it ok to put Durin helm on Treebeard, the helm seems not to be restricted ... I had the vision of this poor metal piece somewhere in the branches

I also tested it on 3 trials but I only managed to pass 2 or 3 trials (3 attempts). Starts are more brutal, but the deck can sure run.

The deck is nice due to new mecanisms. Other idea is to replace Pippin by Elrond but the starting threat is at 31 and the deck must be orientated differently.

Boss, man boss. I was thinking that treebeard wasn't that good, but know that I see this deck... When I get the pack I will try it out although not solo, seeing how it does co op. Great deckbuilding!

The deck is even better than teh previous one

Really like your deck ideas. Cannot wait to get my hands on Treebeard and see how he works in different combinations

If you go in solo play, you might consider :

-The white counsil (instead or inaddition to swift and silent)

-Daughter of Nimrodel (though more fragile than self preservation)

"Let the tree rule Gondor" lol

Where is quickbeam? If you have SoG, why not one copy of Gildor? I think you could cut the crams or the swift and silent. Do you really need that many ready effects?

You are right, the deck was done before quickbeam was spoiled. It should be a nice addition to the deck. For Gildor, you can for sure put a copy, but readying effect are key inthis deck. It is what enables you to overuse the Tree and its ability.

Normally you quest with Mirlonde and Treebeard, you adjust will to pass a location or the quest, then you engage an enemy that is blocked by Erkenbrand, but you need to ready Treebeard to kill him. It is working pretty well this way.

So, I have been playing my own modified version of this deck (Mirlonde, Treebeard, Erkenbrand) and it rocks. I use second breakfast instead of swift and silent because Lembas is so good (I play it on Erkenbrand almost as much as Treebeard because I cancel shadow effects a lot.) Galadriel is amazing, need 3 copies. I cut healing herbs. I like to sneak attack with Elrod during questing phase to get 7 willpower on Treebeard and power quest for tons. I mostly use Gandalf for card draw rather than reducing threat because I get a lot of resources. Anyway, this is a very powerful deck and a lot of fun.

Do not hesitate to share your decklist Dukewellington. It is clearly a powerful deck, I also did some changes, but I kept my swift and silent as for some nightmare quests, the first turn is a killer if you cannot ready a Hero.
