I couldn't wait any longer to get Glorfindel ally in order to make a Círdan deck, so for the time being I built this. Also as a disclaimer, I know I should probably test this before posting, but I decided to just post this as soon as I came up with it to see your suggestions.

The idea is pretty self-explanatory. Get the key attachments ASAP (mainly Steward) on Círdan, play tons of allies and buff them with Narya. With Arwen, Círdan and Glorfindel as well as all the high willpower Spirit allies, early questing is easy. With Silver Harp, Elven-light and Círdan you're drawing 3 cards each turn, and with Steward and Elven-light you're getting 6 resources each turn, which are pretty easy to spend as the deck is mono-sphere and the other key allies are neutral. Combat is taken care of by Narya, who can turn Northern Trackers and even the Pelargir Shipwright into pretty powerful allies (not even gonna mention Gandalf). At first including A Good Harvest to play Steward might seem overkill since we're using Narya, but I still have them in because we want to get Steward as quickly as possible. After we set up with our key attachments, it's just a matter of drawing lots of cards, getting lots of resources and flood the board with heavy hitters. Let me know what you think!

2 Faramir seems a bit overkill; your deck is already super strong at questing without him, and certainly Faramir is not a card I'd like to see in my opening hand (he's better later). I'd take him out and Damrod or another of the x3 cards to make room for some shadow cancelation (x2 Hasty Stroke + Map of Earnil should be plenty enough). Deck looks solid otherwise

Once Glorfindel ally comes out, what changes would you make in this deck?

What about dropping good harvest for song of kings - you can also access some leadership heavy hitters like Gimli & Anborn, as well as Erestor?

Rajam, I think you're right about Faramir. The only reason I added him in is to make use of Leadership resources, but he's deniatley not that necessary. Shadow cancellation is a good thing to add as well, I'll try Hasty Stroke or maybe even Shadows Give Way. Regarding Glorfindel ally, well, the very reason I made this deck was that there's no Glorfindel ally yet, so I haven't considered him. Now, when we do get him, I don't really know if I want to add him actually. I mean, he's amazing, sure, and works great with discard mechanics and Narya. But on the other hand, his hero version lets me start at 26 threat and provides early 3 attack, which is invaluable in solo. I guess I could try the new Lanwyn hero instead of him and then add the ally, but for the time being I think hero Glorfindel works just fine (I will add x3 of him, though, to my Noldor discard deck).

DavidnTanya, that's a good suggestion, but the problem is that Song of Kings costs 1 resource, and after we get Narya, it is useless. Sure, Good Harvest is also useless once we have Narya in play, but the thing is that it costs 0 and the only thing I need it for is playing Steward. Including heavy Leadership hitters like Veteran of Osgiliath and Anborn was my initial idea, but I gave it up because, if I draw them early on without a Leadership icon AND Steward, they're pretty much impossible to play, It's much better to just run Gandalf, Northern Tracker and a bunch of other Spirit allies I can play right away, and they already have pretty good stats anyway.

Totally forgot about the leadership thing with Narya. Right on.

What about Hama? He seems almost too good to pass up, maybe Gamling as well. You have the resources to make this combo shine.

Hama could block (2 def), ready, use his ability until end of phase (5 def), block again, Narya (6 def), and block a third time or swing back for 3. Then he goes back into your hand for you to use next round.

@awp832, really Háma could assign to block, and use his ability to ready before resolving first attack, so it really could block for 5 one time, and for 6 two (do exactly the same with Narya, ready it once assigned to block).

right i know that. I may have phrased my suggestion poorly, but that was the idea. I was trying to remind everyone of his base stats but... yeah, probably could have said that better. so, a he blocks for 5/6/6 is correct. or block5/block6/attack3.

I'm adding Háma for sure, I don't know how I glossed over him. I'm not sure about Gamling though. I mean, he works great with Háma, but i'm not sure if he's worth it on his own for 3 cost.

I played a few games of The Fate of Númenor and this deck destroyed it every single time. For the damaging treachery I added in x3 Sailor of Lune instead of the Ethir Swordsman. Also I added Ride Them Down, which just works so great when you have a couple questing allies in play.

I was thinking that if you're making a mono spirit deck based around strong allies, why don't you use Caldara instead of Glorfindel hero? She helps you play the ones Cirdan and Arwen discard, while Arwen helps you generate resources for Fortune or Fate. Sounds like fun to me

I only have 2 Fortune or Fate, so I've never been able to build a full Caldara deck. And even if I could, I don't know. At that point the deck would become just another Caldara deck, and I lost interest in that. But I am completely aware of how Círdan bolsters Caldara decks, in any case. I just want to keep this a different kind of mono-Spirit deck.

I get it. I just saw "Mono Spirit Cirdan Allies" and thought that was what this was gonna be, but it was something quite different. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of the idea.

No worries. By the way, today I had a good run at Morgul Vale with this deck (surprisingly easy), but then really struggled against Voyage Across Belegaer. I kept getting off-course and got swarmed by enemy ships (archery 4? Really?), but I finally beat it in the fourth or fifth attempt. Very cool quest in any case.

Forgot to mention, I actually used Ride them Down to get rid of a warship at the very last turn, which was cool. I already had tons of allies at that point.

Also, @Gizlivadi, as you use the hobbit version of Gandalf, you could use Gandalf's staff to get ride of shadow effects, or just for even more drawing, or resources.

Dwarven Tomb and Map of Earnil would help. I have had huge success with this one: http://seastan.github.io/#/deck/id:p7nhnfkpjc

I've played Caldara decks for a long time, and I see some nice ideas in your built. Did you managed anytime to play sword-thain with Well-equipped? It is an interesting idea.

Also, I believe that your built will have some troubles with thoughest enemies, isn't it? My favourite built is with Eowyn and Galadriel / Arwen depending on the quest. Eowyn allows me to play Herugrim, which is a big help, and if I don't use Arwen as a hero, I can play the ally which is great (specially with Háma).

Oh, right now I see that you are using it in two player games... I was using mine in solo plays, I suppose you don't need so much combat abilities.

I manage to use Well-equipped for Sword-Thain in about 75-80% of games, normally because I focus on getting out a Stargazer quickly.

For solo play I would have to modify it for combat, but I think I will wait for the release of Glorfindel ally to try that.

Is that enough Dwarves for Well-Equipped? Or does Well-Equipped let you get past the Unique ally restriction on Sword-Thain?

There are 4 in the deck, and everything is easy to find with Mirror. I don't think it allows you to bypass the restriction.
