My take on Leadership-Lore Dúnedain

By Gizlivadi, in Strategy and deck-building

So as I said in the other thread, this is basically a different version of Seastan's latest deck, one I enjoy playing a bit more. Now with that said, while Seastan's deck has a much stricter setup, once it gets going it's much more powerful than this one (just because being able to play, for example, A Test of Will or Northern Tracker makes it much better). I guess the main difference with this one is the fact that I took out all Spirit cards, so, this is basically a 2 sphere and more straightforward version of the deck. Also, much more centered around Leadership as I just enjoy Leadership army building so much. You give Steward to Amarthiul, who can then onward pay quickly and easily for more than 50% of the deck, and he will be our main defender, Willpower is provided, as usual, by Sword that was Broken which turns the Watchmen 2 willpower, as well as Sarn Ford Sentry and Ranger of Cardolan, who has been actually an excellent ally in my experience. The only real combo of the deck is Song of Wisdom + Burning Brand, but affording once such combo is not big deal with the card draw and fetching, plus Song of Wisdom helps in general to pay for Snares and Sentries and whatnot. It really all comes down to x3 Daeron's Runes, Deep Knowledge and Master of the forge and maybe Galadriel and even Sarn Ford Sentry to get going. The rest is pretty much straightforward "play stuff and advance boardstate", play allies and attachments, buff Amarthiul's defense. stall early game with Feint, Ranger of Cardolan and Descendants of Kings. the 2 Snares have been really helpful, and since they're not the centerpiece of the deck you don't need to rely on it that ealry, mostly to buff the Guardians of Arnor and acivate Halbarad's ability. I also added Eldahir to this list but I haven't played him yet. I think however that he will work excellent in this deck. So far So yeah, any feedback on the deck would be welcome. i've had a lot of fun with it.
