Valour Deck

By jjenks476, in Strategy and deck-building

This is a Valour deck that can be amazing to play, and generally is successful. It works best in a multiplayer environment and I use it 2 handed with another deck I will post that provides lots of card draw.

Deck 1

Aragorn (T), Faramir (Le), Mablung, 33

Ally: 26

Errand Rider 3

Dunedain Hunter 3

Galadriel 3

Honour Guard 3

Boromir 2

Legolas 2

Ingold 2

Anborn 2

Veteran of Osgiliath 3

Envoy of Peralgir 3

Attachment: 17

Horn of Gondor 1

Steward of Gondor 2

Favor of the Valar 2

Ranger Provisions 3

Sword That Was Broken 2

Rohan Warhorse 2

Gondorian Shield 3

Visionary Leadership 2

Event:9

Hope Rekindled 3

Horn Cry 2

Hour of Wrath 2

Doom Hangs Still 2

The basic idea is to use Galadriel to grab STWB and put it on Aragorn, so he will be bisphere, then slap Steward and Visionary on him, with a few Rohan Warhorses. Legolas is a great ally to pair with Aragorn as together they can kill an enemy grab another one and kill that one as well, netting you 2 cards, and 2 resources from Mablung and Legolas's ability. Faramir is awesome, and can ready Errand Riders, or Galadriel for chump blocking or extra resource movement. I have played Hour of Wrath and Horn Cry in the same turn, which was epic, slaughtered 6 enemies in the Seventh Level. This is a great Valour deck.

Deck 2 (Optional)

Arwen, Damrod, Beravor 28

Ally: 19

Wellinghall Preserver 3

Elrond 3

Ithilien Tracker 2

Gleowine 2

Galdor 2

Warden of Healing 2

Master of the Forge 2

Galadriel's Handmaiden 3

Attachments:16

Ranger Spikes 3

Ambush 3

Ithilien Pit 2

Ancient Mathom 3

Wingfoot 2

Elf Stone 2

Event: 13

Elven Light 2

Test of Will 3

Hasty Stroke 2

Tale of Tinuviel 2

Gildor's Counsel 2

The Galadhrim's Greeting 2

Deep Knowledge 3

This deck provides cards for deck 1 so they can use all the resources they have. Arwen can give resources to Aragorn or exhaust herself for Tale of Tinuviel when needed. Damrod's traps provide some breathing room for early game defense until Deck 1 is better prepared. Overall in conjunction the 2 are awesome together.

Note that Mablung can only generate 1 resource during the combat phase, regardless of how many enemies you engage during combat.

This deck shows that tactics is becoming increasingly powerful in combat!

Yeah but he will generally net 1 or 2 extra a round. I add in Legacy of Numenor if the quest doesn't feature any inherent threat raising. Hour of wrath is really awesome and can really clear the board. Tactics y feels very powerful with the new valour cards

Question: Favour of the Valor's card text says "1 per player". Does that mean one copy per deck or that only one copy can be attached by a player? I interpreted it as "1 per deck".

As a solo player, Legolas doesn't work that good. I'm currently working with Tactigorn, Halbarad and Amarthiul.

We already have the text "limit 1 per deck" so I'd take the "1 per player" as that you can only have 1 of them in play per player, so you can't just stack them up on the threat dial. But it does seem you can include 3x if you wanted.

Yeah I have been playing it as there can only be 1 on a threat dial at any given time, and if that one gets discarded I can place a second one there.

This is a really nice deck. I think that going forward we'll continue to see a marriage of Gondor and valour. Have you taken this against any quests from the Angmar awakened cycle?
