Treebeard/Spirfindel/Pippin - Ents 2.0

By byzantine, in Strategy and deck-building

I´ve redone my original Treebeard deck and thought I´d share it with the Community again. Gone is Grima, replaced by Pippin, and gone is Gandalf (Ally). There´s been a few other changes here and there, but those are the main ones. The deck now runs way more smoothly, and without a way to produce more resources, Gandalf would be a useful, but way to expensive, crutch.

Heroes (24 Threat):

Pippin

Treebeard

Glorfindel (FoS)

Card Total: 54

Allies (26):

Elrond x3

Erebor Hammersmith x3

Master of the Forge x3

Quickbeam x3

Wandering Ent x3

Warden of Healing x3

Wellinghall Guardian x3

Arwen Undomiel x2

Galadriel´s Handmaiden x3

Attachments (13):

Asfaloth x2

Ent Draught x3

Lembas x3

Light of Valinor x3

Unexpected Courage x2

Events (15):

Daeron´s Runes x3

Entmoot x3

A Test of Will x3

Elrond´s Counsel x3

Hasty Stroke x3

Lembas is an amazing card for Treebeard and can often be a game changer, healing him and refreshing him so he can damage himself again to take down something big. With an Ent Draught (and Skilled Healer, if you´re playing the Saga campaign), the amount of abuse that guy inflicts on himself is unreal; however, I didn´t include any cards purely for healing him - they always serve another function as well, and haven´t found myself wanting more.

The deck also has a great amount of card draw, and will almost empty itself in ~10-12 turns (edit: that was with the Ancient Mathom, it´s a bit slower now); I even dropped the Ancient Mathoms because they weren´t needed and I often found myself needing the ressources otherwise.

I´m stoked for more Ent support to come out, as I think they will be an absolute powerhouse faction (not counting the totally broken Outlands/Dwarves).

i Like the changes.

Surprised you dropped Gandalf. Sounded like you were pretty set on him in the deck. Never say never i guess.

Lembas is a pretty sweet card. Looks like that's the reason for Hammersmith in the deck?

Haha, yeah, Im surprised myself, but I liked what you said and with Grima gone, it just made sense. :)

Yeah, the Hammersmith fetches Lembas back, and Ancient Mathom if it is in. Plus he is solid stat-wise, and I like cards that have more than one purpose.

Which Pippin? :P

Which Pippin? :P

Is there more then one? :P
