The notion is to use the Trap elements of the deck to protect the outlanders while you build them up to strength and as a card drawing engine to help ensure you get the outlanders you need. Good tales will accelerate the buildup; Anborn and Men of the West can pick up vital cards lost during tale telling.

Main concern is resource generation. Finding the Steward early will be crucial to success.

Is this a multiplayer deck?

I'd drop the Poisoned Stakes all together and up your Ambush and Anborn count.

Also, Gimli tends to find his way into any leadership deck, especially one with Very Good Tale. I'd trade a Forlong for him.

Multiplayer, yes. Filling the flex role questing plus combat assistance. Hopefully acting as the late game carry, which seems to be a common theme among my decks. I should probably look to diversify more :/
