Sons of Elrond for solo

By Gizlivadi, in Strategy and deck-building

This is my current version of the Elladan and Elrohir deck, which as you all know got a major boost in The Dread Realm, and is now even better. This is a pretty straightforward list, with a decent number of each card type and mostly 1-2 cost cards, all meant to be played ASAP. Allies are meant mainly as Faramir questing fodder, but the Watchmen are pretty great at fetching a signal or two (he has quickly become a staple in most of my Leadership decks), as well as the Errand Rider which works great as a resource fixer and even combos with Heir of Mardil (was that the consensus?). The rest is just straightforward attachments and events, with Foe-Hammer being somewhat dubious but with Elven-light, 3 copies of the Blade as well as Galadriel, I've been able to play it without much trouble, and the card draw it gives is amazing. The only reason I don't have A Test of Will in here is because I have 2 other Spirit decks that use it, but feel free to take out anything for it. As I mentioned in the other thread, this deck has worked great so far and is a blast to play. Suggestions are welcome as always, I still get the feeling there are a couple tweaks to be made.

Looks like a good deck dude =)

Thanks for sharing it, I would definitely put test of will in because I just can't live without that card :P

Otherwise looks really good, many similarities and many of the same cards as my Aragorn, Elrohir, Elladan deck (that has Arwen on the other side of the table in another deck) but the allies are fairly different because its a solo deck.

Might have to give this deck a go sometime!

Just checked the original notepad file where I copied this list from, and noticed that I missed x2 Feint, so I added them in. Also, I guess x1 Lords of the Eldar and x1 Sneak Attack could go for x2 Test of Will. I normally tend to put x2 of the staple core events as I like to divide them evenly between my decks.

Do you use the errand riders? I'm finding that Arwen is all the resource smoothing I really need.

That's fair. I normally use them to ready whoever has Heir of Mardil, and he's just good as a 1 cost 2 hitpoint ally, but I'm interested in hearing suggestions for something else to add.

The readying is pretty handy, but what about the Herald of Anorien? You've got a bunch of 2-cost allies, it might be worth it.

If you don't like the threat gain or are two-handing it, the Envoy may work too for a little bit of smoothing.
