Seastan beat Carn Dum with 2 decks, revealing 3 cards per turn instead of 2!
I really think Boromir needs an errata to limit 5 times per turn, a la treebeard. If he can trivialize each quest this badly, there's something wrong.

My take on Boromir from another recent discussion:

Yep. I've always said that Boromir is much OP than Glorfindel.
Glorfindel is great is you play nightmare quests in pure solo and want to start with a low threat.
Played this quest today for the 1st time ever, with a Super Bilbo deck. Although I managed to earn a victory, I can see why this quest gets so much hate (and love)... the amount of shadow cards around was ridiculous. I almost threat out in the early stages, but dropping in Gandalfs like crazy every round helped me to deal with it, and once Bilbo gets setup he laughs at all enemies around, even Thaurdir. This quest is clearly designed to challenge the best decks around; I'm not sure if I'd dare to test a novelty or a "good-but-not-broken" deck in here. It also left a good taste in my mouth, as someone who likes to use top tier decks and cards to their maximum potential, it's cool to stand against encounter decks at par.
I definitely need to play this more times, although I think Escape from Dol Guldur (solo) is still harder.
