Support deck ideas

By gandalfDK, in Strategy and deck-building

Hi all,

For the Fellowship event, I'm trying to build several decks in advance and I want to go supportmode. My collection is at halt for the moment, the next expension I will buy is Black Riders (I do have the full AtS cycle).

Now, are there any decks that you know of that are great support or quest decks, that you used back in the day? I'm thinking of Eleanor/Frodo/Loragorn, but maybe there are some other decks out there. I do want to play a bit topnotch, but my player cards are way behind on the encounter decks meta. So, looking for some good ideas!

Any help in my brainstormsession is appreciated! :)

Well, I'm not sure what you mean by support, since the deck you are supporting often defines what you do. I tend to think of old school support decks as either mono red range/sentinel combat powerhouse decks or (for 3 or 4 player teams) location sniping decks that prevent landlock. The location control support decks can also handle things like treachery and shadow cancellation, which becomes more important with more players.

If you go mono red you can go with something like Legolas, Beregond, and Bard the Bowman. If you go location control you can use a Caldera build to get out Northern Trackers fast or go blue/green with Glorfindel/Asfaloth with Rohan allies and ride to ruin, etc.

Maybe that sparks your creativity.

Ah, haven't really looked at it that way.y definition of support would be, sentineling for everybody and bringing cancellation, willpower and location control, but a combat focused deck could be an option too. Thanks
